All user reviews for the Shure SM58

Vocal microphone, but can be used as his brother the SM57 in sound amp.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since purchase, and always at the top!

I have several types of micro, but there is always room for the SM58 is a standard, it goes everywhere, against, it does not give effect to the voice, it will be rough, but after at arrange or after taken either with a pre amp

Personally, I use it in rehearsal, or live, it suits me.

Value for money, I would say bah (new) it's worth € 100!
In general, we always have an SM58 for vocals, and a SM57 for amp or even snare!

With experience, yes I would do it (already done!)

Singing with microphone (sm58s) or without switch (SM58) used by a lot of bands and singers. Rather directional, it does not take too much of his side which is useful.
But better to sing in front!
The Beta version is more expensive, with more output and especially a wider band.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for years, and in this price range (€ 110/120), it is in your head but of course there are better and more expensive.
I tried micro realistic years 80/90, cheaper more loyal and powerful but are found more, unfortunately! I think the brand has stopped.

OVERALL OPINION

I use since 1998, mainly for live, just for the record, when static does not lend, or when a particular type of sound is desired.

the advantage of this microphone is undoubtedly the fact that it is a Reference, known to all, we know how to settle it, what we will get as its so ...

it is quite flattering on the voice, which can be a good point, and it is correct with regard to the general characteristics of a microphone of this type (resistance to plosives, the feedback, made global etc ...)

on small scenes, where multiple microphones singing, there are big chances of snagging the feedback with the microphone, and I prefer him audix OM7 much less sensitive (but more expensive)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 5-6 years when I started in this business.

A reference to the sound of live singing. I also use it in the studio for talkback or for making very nervous kind Hip Hop or Metal.

Likes: Cheap, sturdy, go anywhere, everyone know, cheap.

I do not like: I'm still looking.

Lately I use it mostly for vocals. For lead I prefer to use a beta 58, which is starting to get asked a lot on the data sheets.

The SM58 go anywhere and any type of concert and that the application data sheet. They will always be glad to have at least one SM58 if not to have what they asked.

Microphone type:

Cardioid dynamic vocal microphone, rather dedicated to the scene.

Everything has been said over the decades on the microphone, however, I was invited to give an opinion.
To be used as a singer and sound engineer, I know the two sides of its use.

OVERALL OPINION

How long have you use it?
Two decades.

Have you tried many other models before buying it?
A bit of everything for 2 decades.




For a singer, it is a landmark, see a standard master. Indeed, it might not be the most accurate, or one that sounds in all circumstances, but it is undoubtedly that everyone know, that everyone know how to manage its proximity effect. It is a micro should not hesitate to attack to draw something, play with his chart and its effect prox depending on what you want to obtain. The hardest part with him is to figure out how to get a decent level of output without harming unintelligibility, and it is primarily the work of singer ...

At the console. I do not see what good can blame him. This is a pro tool, which is good in some circumstances, and if it is well controlled by the artist who uses only rarely pose problems. It has a big resistance to feedback, so can play with a high level of return (although not recommended, but everyone will want it well). I usually cut down to well back in the mix and not have an unpleasant effect Loudness will go eat on flowerbeds other instruments placed lower in the spectrum.

Studio, provide very good preamp to get something, and preference for a particular purpose, if not a tool to prefer more comfortable in this area.

Micro singing but can also serve transplanting guitar amp.

OVERALL OPINION

I very rarely use since I do not sing.
I have not tried other because they gave me, and we should both choirs, or voice tests, I under the elbow.
The singers I've met a lot like playing with dynamics, for me, the few times I've used it, I have nothing negative to report in particular, except perhaps having to be glued to the microphone, if you move away, it's not out. Suddenly, with a guitar in his hands, not sure this is the most suitable. Again, I'm not an expert.
However, if the SM57 is advisable to dub amp thing I do when I am in a ready, I was required to use the 58 do not always have the 57 available, and although he filled his office ... So, I keep it despite my moderate use of the machine!

microphone used in a variety orchestra, beware there is a 80s so I'm not sure that it is manufactured in low-cost countries.
we used it at the time, less so now for singing.
it is primarily a microphone to the scene.
like any microphone, it should try before you buy.
it is best to go see his favorite dealer, and it prepares you for 3-4 microphones for testing.

OVERALL OPINION

since 1985, buy used at the time, but it was a must for the scene.
it tends to color and enhance voice.
the price at that time was expensive new, but nowadays provided that the model has the same qualities, I think it is affordable, this microphone is in my party of the range base of any group, or even any home studio, some taken on if you want scenic realistic rendering, it can make a huge service.
I think since there are other microphones also see better performance.

Micro cardoide, very solid, standart brand ...

My use was mainly for the song but it can be used without the windscreen as micro capture.

Very effective, it is not betrayed voice, a lump in the upper medium for me, very resistant to feedback.

OVERALL OPINION

It was my first mic I used for 5 years, it was a value without breaking the bank, I pensse malgrés while he did his time, now there are plenty of other micro same quality, see better for the same price, but there is a reference in the song to start.

And uch as the say, any singer who respects possesses an SM58 in the package ...

For me it was part but today I found a microphone that is my voice.

If I have my choice I repeat it again, if I have more sousous ^ ^
