Shure SM48 Vocal Cardioid Dynamic Microphone

Capture your vocals like never before with the SM48 Vocal Cardioid Dynamic Microphone from Shure. Ideal for vocals, backup vocals, and spoken word applications, this mic offers a frequency response with a brightened mid-range and low-frequency roll-off that controls its proximity effect.

This premium performance mic maintains a true cardioid pattern throughout its frequency range, which ensures high gain before feedback while rejecting off-axis noise. This means it’s easier to “aim” the mic at the sound you want to capture, while avoiding pick-up of background or handling noise—with the result that the audio focus is on your voice, with minimal distractions from the audience or other sources.

Included with the SM48 Vocal Cardioid Dynamic Microphone is a stand adapter for perfect and easy setup, as well as a carrying bag for safe transport and storage. It also comes with a shock-mounted cartridge that reduces handling noise and contributes to the mic’s durability, a steel mesh grille, and an integrated pop filter that protects against plosives, breathing, and wind.
