All user reviews for the Shure SM58

Dynamic Cardioid microphone for singing.
But watch out for singer aillant of the way, avoiding use with children aillant not used the microphone against a rocker, opera singer, singer ailant short trunk, go go go ...
noted that the microphone is highly directional, you really sung in front for the best record, so to use one singer, banish a person using multiple arc.

OVERALL OPINION

15 years and never use it, hard to beat the price quality ratio is exceptional, a microphone that is not junk, not plastic than steel.

the new range (beta87) does not add much further when a lighter equalizer.

against by the choice now inverting on HF solution shure not convinced me (sheineizer either) I folded over audiotechnica for HF which is very nice. but if you want wired for singing only go there without hesitation.

Difficult to argue that micro present. Dynamic, I always take without switch. The horse on stage. I spend a voice in, sometimes a snare 57 when his brother is not. I also used a flute, which requires the flutist know stay in place ...

I like this microphone studio too. Some voices (including mine ...) go best in a 58 in a neuman a condo. It depends on the style of the singer, his voice, the dynamics are singing ...

In the end it is not given, but I've never found myself in a complaint and we can overlook a little without condemning to death the short term, or the letter on stage between hands without any back thought. He did nothing about particular property, which had to be seen as an advantage goes everywhere and no surprises.

OVERALL OPINION

I've used since I make music. Say long

Micro song (mixed) - Cardioid - Dynamic

Cad .. not need phantom power - Great Falls as resistant as the sound pressure ..

I use Studio fashion with his little brother "SM57", which saves him the instruments.

OVERALL OPINION

- It should be a good year that I use in the studio

- Special ... universal ... Any sound engineer knows him and knows how to get good sound. Well positioned it reacts little to feedback and makes a neutral sound m ^ m in a bad jam studio "silenced" and with his sinning behind "with battery." And especially it is known to cash the worst manipulations.
Duo used SM57 and 58 for recording accoustic / vote the final sound is nickel and homogeneous. What I like the least ...

- I used some micros "low quality" before and I have invested in a Zoom H2n that serves micro view of atmosphere main mic time. I still use the Zoom for drafts of jam or to record sounds of percussion / drums in addition to the 57.

- Value correct price for the good stuff. I would do without hesitation that choice! For my voice ... now it sticks nickel for the singer I think that I will invest in a AKG reacts better timbre of his voice.

Dynamic microphone singing made for the stage

OVERALL OPINION

I have over fifteen years, and I used a lot of vocal microphone (E840, E845, D880, Beta 58 ...). it does well in a lot of situations. it's not the one with the best sound, but overall it holds up.
I love its ease of use, versatility and above all his strength. One fault, it starts to be slightly above its level by newer and more expensive mics. What limits for studio use, nothing serious, it is not made for that.
Level quality / price ratio, it's not bad, I would say 7/10.
I think the choice again, I always have with me even if I do not use as often.
It does the job! I think this is the essential micro in its fleet, and if the park is only a microphone, this is the one you need.

The Shure SM-58 has a capacitor in his head, it is a dynamic. It does not need phantom power (48 volts) but if it is sent by mistake via the table, and it supports not Crame.

It is rather a micro reserved vocals (male or female), but like all microphones can record almost anything, depending on what is expected.

Live, his reputation is really more to do, it's the B, A, BA singer (or singer {when I say, it should not be viewed as a male, but as a neutral name, you never know with gender theory ...]) worthy of the name and, considering the price (less than 100 €), it would be silly to deny it, plus it's still strong.
Also, what sound engineer would not know? So no problem to quickly set it right.

In the studio, why not? It is very cozy ... but in general we will use the other great mythical (I did not say mystical!), The Neumann U-87 (Ai or not).

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
Since its inception with its big brother the Beta 58 which is less scooped.

- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
Hou's a good package, but it is the most versatile I think.

- What thing do you like most and least?
This is a go anywhere, it is solid and tough in time, if he falls to the ground, the grid absorbs shock, therefore, disassemble it and wake it from its tidy shape.
Sound side, it pretty neutral despite a little lag in the low mids that makes it rather soft and care should be taken to the next pops adjusting the EQ and / or compressor.
Listed gain, it is a little behind some more modern but good mics ...

- How would you rate the quality / price?
Excellent, I do not think that we have done better since.

- With experience, you do again this choice? ...
Yeah, more than once! The last one I took is a wireless (damn the loose cables), but hey, the price is not the same as ...

Mixed microphone, it is used for voice, whether for speech or singing. It is a dynamic cardioid unidirectional microphone.

OVERALL OPINION

I used it for 5 years before changing microphone because I had other uses, but I keep it in emergency microphone.

I tried several microphones models rocked before opting for this model in 2002.


What I like most:
- Simple, without adjustment, it works instantly
- It captures the voice with ever acceptable quality even in noisy environments,
- As it is a one way, one can avoid feedback when talking to speakers if care is taken not to proceed to speakers.

What I like least:
- There is no On / Off,
- It is useless without strong pre-amplification, because it lacks fishing
- The protection grid is too fragile, it sinks too easily at the slightest shock during transport. The microphone is still usable, but visually it has a fart with headphones,
- The sound is clean, but it is not bright,


Its value for money is bad today, because he remained at the same price but today was much better for less.
Given its quality, it should have come under € 50: € 100 sell is ridiculous seen improved microphones cheap for 15 years.
Dynamic microphones stereo € 29 sold in supermarkets are better and more fishing if unbalanced with which they are sold by a balanced XLR cable (which costs 10 € max) cable is replaced.
Audio microphones "professional" unmarked cost up to four times cheaper for the same performance (such as T-Bone MB-85 sold at 25 €).

In 2002, it was a safe choice, but now I would not buy more.

I use it for singing, like most
What techno ... I dunno, I do not care, actually.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had ... pfffiou ... over 10 years
Not tried anything else since we tc Electronic
What I love the most, well it's simple, it does its job and seems indestructible, especially for live
What I like the least ... it is low in the high mids and treble but again, for the live, it is quite correct
the money ... well Personal Report, I will add strength / price for there, nothing to say.
I prefer to end the micro TC I got bundled with multi-effects, but really for the studio. Not sure the TC is as constant over time
Brief for the price, it is a safe bet.

This is not a capacitor microphone singing; Local caption that does not serve as ambient microphone.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought this microphone there are over 5 years now, indefatigable he suffers no weakness or deterioration after thousands of hours of rpeter 'recording and concerts!

The nice thing remains its precision: It captures with great ease volume changes.
It actually fits all voices and styles of singing (whether the quiet murmur of severe, acute, the throat, the heavy, male or female ...).

However Studio can be found quickly on limited vocal recordings of extreme metal to changes in volume! But the alternative is for me a compression.

Compared with other vocal microphones remains my favorite! After testing the Shure Lyric several Seinnheiser and other small brands, the big plus is mostly usability:
It is well balanced, the body is shorter than a Sennheiser for example, the ideal weight (not too light or heavy).

This mic does not need to prove it is robust, reliable, durable and cost of purchase is sincerely correct! Personally, we can not be disappointed!
