Description
What the SM57 is to instruments, the SM58 is to vocals. It is the first choice of performers around the world. A smooth bump between 2kHz and 7kHz, and a crisp peak around 9.5kHz give this classic cardioid dynamic the presence sought after by lead and backing vocalists. It features a rugged die cast metal handle, spherical steel mesh grille, and 50hz-15kHz frequency response. A necessity in any microphone collection.
- Accepted by musicians worldwide
- An industry standard
- Cable not included
- Frequency response tailored for vocals, with brightened midrange and bass rolloff
- Uniform cardioid pickup pattern isolates the main sound source and minimizes background noise
The legendary Shure SM58™ vocal microphone is designed for professional vocal use in live performance, sound reinforcement, and studio recording. Its tailored vocal response for sound is a world standard for singing or speech. A highly effective, built-in spherical filter minimizes wind and breath "pop" noise. A unidirectional (cardioid) pickup pattern isolates the main sound source while minimizing unwanted background noise.
Rugged construction, a proven shock-mount system, and a steel mesh grille ensure that even with rough handling, the SM58 will perform consistently, outdoors or indoors.
