A legendary mainstay of live performances, the SM58 cardioid dynamic microphone from Shure is the vocal mic that set the world standard. Boasting a classic look and world-renowned engineering, the SM58 is a durable, versatile mic that handles vocals with clarity and precision. No wonder it’s the go-to mic choice of everyone from rock stars to presidents, stand-up comedians to popes—and pretty much everyone in-between!
The SM58 features a uniform cardioid polar pattern that faithfully reproduces your vocals so that they sound their best. The cardioid pattern minimizes the pickup of background noise, so the mic captures your voice—and not any noise from the sides or back. An integrated pneumatic shock mount absorbs handling noise, so your sound doesn’t get lost in vibration. Meanwhile, the iconic spherical mesh grille and the mic’s built-in pop filter protect your audio from wind and plosives, helping you effortlessly screen out unwanted air.
Whether you’re performing in an intimate club setting or an expansive stadium, the SM58 delivers a warm, crisp sound. Great for gigs in the studio or on the stage, this microphone's focused cardioid polar pattern will prevent feedback, cut out low-end noise and provide a greater range in the upper-mid frequencies. Though the SM58 is known for vocals, these features allow it to shine when used with instruments as well.
Though it captures the nuances and delicacies of your vocals, this ruggedly-built mic is designed specifically to handle the rigors of touring and travel, so you can take it anywhere with you and perform on the go with confidence. This microphone is known for taking damage and continuing to do its best. Whether you manage to bend the steel mesh grille, drop it off the stage, or accidentally submerge it in water, the SM58 will give you a solid performance time after time.
Also included with the SM58 is a break-resistant swivel stand adapter and a storage bag to protect it from dust or other debris while in storage.
