Shure SM58 Dynamic Vocal Microphone

Ordered this for our church. Mostly vocals and some speech. Mic is a fantastic upgrade from our older model Shure BG3.1 mics. I know we had these for a long while but this sm58s sounds fantastic and made a huge difference in clarity and crispness. I was told the Shure sm58 is one of the best all general purpose mics for sound quality and build and so far (a few months now) I couldn't agree more! As far as the switch goes, our old mics had them so I kept them the same but I seem to like having the switch in the event you don't have someone at the sound board you can set it up and just switch on when needed. Also bought this in a bundle with a boom stand and mic cable which was a good value. If your in the market for a great all purpose mic def check this bundle out. ... MoreOrdered this for our church.

Best Deal in Microphones

Shure 58' are a classic microphone to use most anywhere. For me we do live shows and podcast (DanceCast @ RadioKing) with this mic. To get this deal is a real bargain! I own 4 of these right now and we use them for everything. You need to know the range and sweet spots (see enclosed chart) for the best vocals but once you understand mic placement these are real workhorses. For my money there these are the "real thing" in microphones, every thing else is a dice roll at best.Want mics that are durable, reliable, and proven to be the standard (real thing supported by sound guys everywhere) buy these and this package is a great combo!Enjoy your new microphones!

Built Like A Tank

I am a recording and mix engineer. I also write and record my own music and was looking to quickly get down ideas when they strike, this mic is perfect for it. Built like a tank, it will last you a long time, it has a nice feel to and is compact enough to any gig. It a nice warm tone to it and I was very impressed at how good it sounds. I've been using a Rode NT2-A, my go to for years and I've compared the difference in tone. I record though a U87 when doing work in the studio. Though the SM58 is not as detailed nor as and bright and smooth sounding (obvious reasons as the other two are more expensive condensers microphone), it will get you good sounding recordings for the price.

Fantastic equipment!!!

I purchased this kit as a Birthday gift for my boyfriend's surprise Birthday party because he specified that Shure mics are the best. The karaoke party was a huge hit. Everyone had a blast. The microphone is awesome! I would definitely recommend to friends and will be purchasing from Shure again. Very professional product and company. Everything about the mic and stand is high quality. Smooth transaction. Fast shipping. Packaged well. Thanks Shure! #sweepstakes

Great sound but product lack a power switch.

Sound great but micro has no power switch to turn off when not in use. I assume it has one like all those that I encountered. The worst thing when buying online is you don't get to exam the product before purchase. In this case I kept it and using the volume switch on the mixer; since sending it back is a little inconvenient. Shure should install a power/mute switch on the microphone. If this microphone has one I would rate it with 5 Stars.

I started singing when I

I started singing when I was 5 years old, 1948, and listening to radio 4RO at 5am every morning, Country & Western Hour, in Rockhampton Central Queensland. I started my very own Rock and Roll Band "The Rhythm Suedes" when I was 15years old and I had the first Rock and Roll Band in Rockhampton. We used small Amps and a Microphone that was cheap and good enough to sing through. These days I am 80 years old and do solo singing on my Boss Cube St.2. After all these years I have never sang through a Shure Microphone until I purchased one from your shop. It's absolutely fantastic. It really picks up my voice very clear on my high and low voice range and with compliments from my fans, I love singing with this little beauty. Thank you for your service and I wish all your ... MoreI started singing when I was 5 years old, 1948, and listening to radio 4RO at 5am every morning, Country & Western Hour, in Rockhampton Central Queensland.

I'm def buying more when I can

This is for the #sweepstakes but even without it I would still review this product. I'm a producer that's starting out and originally I bought some cheap mic on some random online service. But once I had more money I bought my SM58 since I knew how much of a classic mic it is. It was a great decision I solely use it now and it sounds great and so clean. It gives this great tone to the sound that sounds more professional and I look cool singing into it in my music videos. Thanks for the classic product

It's legendary for a reason...multiple actually

Our band plays all types of music, in both indoor and outdoor venues, and the one thing we know will survive setup and take down is a Shure microphone. We use SM57's to mic our amps and one for vocals. We have SM58's for most of our vocal mics and our lead vocalist uses the SM86. Shure makes a fantastic mic. The SM58 has been around for about 70 years and has been a staple of live music for that long because it's so good at doing what it does. Sound quality is as good as you will find for the price range and durability is amazing. The SM58 is just bomb-proof. Bottom line - for the money, you simply will not find a better mic. Durability for anyone gigging is always a worry - but not with this mic.

Never Disappoints

Sound: The best r&r Mike for ANY money Features: It's meat and potatoes. Get an off/on switch if you feel the need to sophisticate Ease of Use: Plug it in crank it up. Problem solved. Quality: Ask Roger Daltry. Value: Worth twice the amount (don't tell them though, I'm still poor). Manufacturer Support: Never needed them. So IDK The Wow Factor: It's not the Brad Pitt of microphones.More like Tommy Lee Jones or Robert Duval. Overall: It's 1969, Woodstock music and all the acid has drained a LOT of energy (and brain cells) from the half million metropolis they call The Audience. It's late, stage hands scurrying around setting up the next "act". Lights go down like the eyelids if the 3 day city. Then LIGHTS, BASS, GUITAR, and DRUMS RIP OPEN THE AIR........PEOPLE TRY TO ... MoreSound: The best r&r Mike for ANY money Features: It's meat and potatoes.

Then LIGHTS, BASS, GUITAR, and DRUMS RIP OPEN THE AIR........PEOPLE TRY TO PUT US...D D D.D DOWN and My Generation kicks out from the Who's, Roger Daltry. Like Zeus weilding lightning bolts, he deftly precisely throws his microphone towards The Audience snatching it back to himself, only to twirl it amazingly two then three times to hurl it once again back at them. There has never been a harder working Mike in the business. And 50 years later it still has no equal. Aside from the Les Paul, or Strat, it remains one of the best things to ever solidify Rock and Roll as an art form or a religion.

Shure, always one of the best

I have heard the SM58 is one of the most commonly used mics across the music industry, whether it's a stage mic or for studio recording. Trying it now, I can see why. The mic has warm vocal quality and captures audio excellently. It has its own built in pop filter so much of the unwanted static and aural noise is reduced, which can be helped further by having your own isolation booth. However, without one, it is just fine on its own. It is very reliable and has withheld itself against my many sessions of recording myself, and even dropping it a few times by accident with no dents, scratches, or malfunctions with the recording itself. I would definitely recommend this to anyone that is looking to add to their arsenal of mics or even as a first upgrade to your ... MoreI have heard the SM58 is one of the most commonly used mics across the music industry, whether it's a stage mic or for studio recording.
