OVERALL OPINION

Used for the stage as a singer / rapper and as front / back for TV recordings and concert technician.

Also used for recording models, always vote.
Used in a rap / vocal group 5 singers (and 5 sm58) on very large installations such as in configs much smaller bar type.

Essential for robust, durable and widespread (and thus in great demand).

Can cause feedback problems, especially rappers, metalheads who tend to hold the microphone with your hand around the windshield, and if there May 58 on a small stage surrounded by walls, it can also be sporty to the sondier ...

also this bump in the midbass / midrange and lack of definition in the upper midrange (in fact everything you do not want to see a well-defined!) are correct in Eq

I work more now with sennheiser E548 which I prefer rendering, but if he wants to see the distance in terms of robustness (58 are virtually indestructible even after multiple drops, and you can easily replace the grid too low)

Nominal impedance of 150 ohms (300 ohms actual) for connection to low impedance microphone input

Phase:
Positive pressure on the diaphragm produces a positive voltage on pin 2 with respect to pin 3

OVERALL OPINION

the microphone is used for 3 years
Yes I used the other micro-BETA 57 Beyerdynamic M88 (C)-Sennheiser e835
I give a better rating to the BETA 57 for his faithful rendition.
Good value for Shure MS58 report. With experience I will do the same choice.

for singing on stage and everything that comes out of a human mouth in general

electrodynamics cardioid

OVERALL OPINION

used since the 80s after 565

most: durability and nearly always exploitable live either for voice man or woman, no big problems hooking eg

least: (?) no switch no, just kidding there as I know what to expect, that it does not rise to 16khz is not a big worry

quality / price very satisfactory

with experience, I would do the same choice knowing that there live for superior dynamics in terms of reporting, feedback rejection for example.

Cardioid Dynamic Vocal Microphone Type

OVERALL OPINION

How long have you use it?
8 years

Have you tried many other models before buying it?
so full!!

What is the particular feature you like best and least?
indestructible micro ... for me to take the mine fleet, was thrown to the ground by an edgy rocker!

However micro enough medium (in terms of sound), but any sound engineer is able to out a very good sound of the microphone.

How would you rate the quality / price?
With experience, you do again this choice? ...

Quality / price ratio very honest, very good quality microphone and it is still the reference microphone on live scenes!

Yes without hesitation, this mic has never failed me since I and god knows he was abused repeatedly!

Cardioid dynamic microphone small diaphragm. Stage or studio, voice or instrument, close or long range, whatever, almost everything works, even if it is sold by Shure microphone as a stage for singing.
We just wish maybe its frequency response that would deserve to be a little wider in the treble: 50Hz-15kHz (at least up to 18kHz would have brought more natural and clear sound, when the 50Hz unless the Sub 21 "with the power behind and a good preamp, and especially a source that sends so low, it's no big deal, at worst a bit of a boost on the EQ and it's well the case).

OVERALL OPINION

It was my first microphone, and it will always remain a very good mic.

Well then simply put, it's a lollipop steel, black body and gray head, the latter containing an anti pop filter and to protect the capsule. An SM58, it costs 100 euros, it's a life guard, it may fall to 2 feet tall it not break (at worst grid deforms a bit, but apart from the mouth of the micro does not change anything), it can soak in the beer, it does not matter it still works ... In short, it is indestructible.

As I said before, the microphone costs 100 Euros, and it is frankly price to pay for what happens to micro. On stage, as it is cardioid only feedback that if we talk about a shy little girl to 30 cm microphone while pointing the capsule open to a return. Then it comes out well in the mix, with his hump to 3kHz, and 5kHz. We also found a hollow in the midrange (200Hz to 1kHz), which is a little characteristic of sound hi-fi (although there is not nearly as advanced).

In the studio, it can compete with its carefree colleagues capacitors, but not all voices in all styles. On a slightly gueulante and acute voice on the edgy rock, it's even better than a condenser microphone.

Many people use it for voice and only voice, but I prefer it on a saxophone rather than sm 57 for example. And some voices I prefer a SM57 with a bonette (or filter anti pop studio). You have to try and see what sounds best, there is no defined beforehand use, though it sounds, is that it is good.

I had a choir to resume, with microphones (very) small diaphragm omnidirectional Shure brand (remember the model sorry) that feedback from everywhere, a real headache. I finally align 4 SM58 before all, and it sounded the fire of God!

If you have a doubt, that you have a microphone and you do not really know what to take, or not as micro sounds, or the sound is too wobbly, take a SM58, it may be not be the most appropriate, but at least it will be clean, every time. This is the micro "Swiss Army Knife", classic and universal.

Oh and small precision: the beta 58 is super cardioid, that does not mean it's better, it's just changing the directivity, sensitivity, and frequency response. In fact, prefer to buy two rather than one SM58 beta 58, beta has almost no (the SM58, with a little more gain, returns scenes and microphones placed correctements, and a little more acute in your EQ, and you get the same result)

Song cardioid dynamic microphone for the stage but also in the studio ...

OVERALL OPINION

I have for 2 years, nothing to say very versatile microphone for singing, I also have a E835 but nothing in quality, the best is still beta 58 but the price is not the same! !
For me the feature of this micro: passe partout, transparent enough ... and strong!
Depending on your use (stage or studio for semi-professional use that does it very well)
To have in your micro park ... Very good value for money!
Yes I would do this choice with his eyes closed is a reference Shure who want the road ...
