Shure SM58 Professional XLR Dynamic Vocal Microphone – Cardioid Mic for Live Performance, Studio Recording, Podcasting & Broadcasting (SM58-LC)

SM stands for Studio Microphone, so while most think of this as a live performance mic, which don't get me wrong it excels at, many people think it's a poor choice for studio work. It was built with studio work in mind, and just happens to be durable enough to withstand the torture of touring and being brought out for every event.It's a cardioid dynamic mic so if you aren't in a supremely sound proofed environment, say a bedroom you've done no sound dampening or minimum sound dampening work to, this is fantastic. It will cut out the immediate echos that can muddy recordings that otherwise would be picked up by a condenser mic. It's also great for talk shows for the same reason. Most things on the butt end of the mic will be seriously cut out. Maybe not 100% but enough that you can hide it in a mix or cut with a sound gate without hurting the thing you're actually recording.I recommend this with the focusrite audio interface, but anything that takes XLR cable and let's it talk to a PC is fine. I recommend every home musician have one of these. Or podcaster, as the only difference between this and is larger big brother you see on every show is basically a well endowed wind screen. Everything else is identical internally.I worked in a recording studio for a college for a few years and while condensers have their place and can get extremely crisp amazing quality, that can be a WORSE choice if it's used in the wrong environment. You don't need to hear your roommates phone call in the next room while you record vocals, or the backing track/metronome you're singing along with. This mic will let you record at home and give you more than enough quality for professional sounding mixes.

We got the Shure SM58 because it’s an amazing mic and built like a tank. I’ve had one for over 15 years, and it’s still in perfect shape, sounding just as good as the first day. In my vocal band, Don Novenio, we all use Shure mics for percussion we use the Beta 58, and they’re simply the best of the best. Great sound, super tough, and always reliable.

AMAZING. I know it’s expected with an industry standard, but wow I was not ready for the difference in sound when I upgraded. I’ve been using a very old shure pg58 for my hobby in recording music, and always thought I hated my own voice. Now I’m telling everyone I know that all along I’ve just hated my microphone, because I love how my voice sounds with this new one. The sound is clear and well balanced, and is especially conducive to a small apartment/lower budget setup like I have where things such as soundproofing aren’t as easily possible. This microphone truly is bringing out the best in my voice and I’m over the moon! I was a little worried about the legitimacy of this product coming from Amazon instead of the seller’s direct site, but this arrived in perfect condition.

I recently did bought the Shure SM58 Pro XLR Dynamic Microphone, and while it’s a fantastic mic with excellent sound quality, especially for vocals, I found myself drawn to the new SHURE MV7+ USB-C model. The SM58 has a classic, robust design and delivers clear, professional audio, but the MV7+ offers the convenience of USB-C, making it incredibly sleek and easy to use with both USB and XLR options. The MV7+ is perfect for those who want high-quality sound but with the added flexibility of modern connectivity, especially for podcasting or streaming. While the SM58 is still a great choice for stage performances or professional setups, the USB-C feature of the MV7+ makes it a more convenient and versatile option for those working from home or on the go. Both are great, but the MV7+ just edges out for practicality

The best mic if u want quality for low price

Fantastic microphone, works well and sounds great!

1. MFG Recommended by a Coworker; 2 Shure SM58s purchased: 1 good, 1 not so good2. Great microphone for the money3. Works well recording my saxophone4. Heavier than expected5. Should come with a microphone holder and adapter insert6. For a little extra green, you can get the 25' XLR cable7. Troubling experience with the last SM58 microphone (Mic head loose, no holder, insert, box was taped)Review/Opinion:Based on a coworker's opinion and my own research, I found this microphone and gave it a try for my instrument recordings. Being a third of what my coworker paid for his mic, not the SM58, is what attracted me in the beginning. I was looking at a SM57 initially until I found information stating that the SM58 could be a better device for saxophone recordings. I found a site that tested various microphones to see how the SM58 sounds. Based on that intel, affordability, and what my coworker thought about those tests, I jumped into the pool of microphone setup and purchased this mic with the XLR cable combo. I have been very happy with the recordings, both in a partial acoustic foamed environment and a fully foamed environment. Obviously, the fully foamed environment recordings are more clear and distinct. For both locations though, at an arm's length away, no clipping or distortion was experienced.The second microphone I purchased from a 3rd party:I have a similarly bad experience with an audio interface purchased through a 3rd party. i strongly suggest going through the mfr if possible. So he package was taped up, holder and insert missing, however, luckily, the XLR cable and microphone were still there! I did a mini-check on the cable and mic, which both seemed to be fine. I found later that the microphone head was loose!?! This microphone was in heavy bubble wrap when it came and the box was not damaged, but had two pieces of large white button-tape affixed. So far, this microphone has not been an issue for recording the sax and hopefully it will not be an issue in the future.Setup:The mic has an XLR port and hooks directly up to an XLR cable. In my setup, the XLR cable hooks into the audio interface, MXV2U which is power by the laptop/computer through a usb-c cable supplied by Shure's MXV2U. I am using Audacity as a DAW on a lightweight Linux OS. No issues have been experienced during my ~10 - 20 recordings.Ease of Use:Its a microphone with an XLR port. Hook it up, set it up where you need it, make sure it registers on the recording software, make some noise on a test recording, play it back and adjust the software where you want it. done. lol. As a note, I have experienced no issues with either mic, both sound great for my needs.Overall experience:This microphone MIGHT be a bit soft when it comes to speaking during sessions-- I have not experimented enough with placement yet. Research tends toward the mic being 6" to 12" away at max for normal voice recording, since I am more interested in the tonal quality of the instrument, but my voice does comes in a close second as i can learn from previous perceptions, mistakes, habits, or etc from any spoken portion or outburst, lol. Usually, the mic is about an arm's length away, which is a greater distance than recommendations. This can be corrected by either better placement or louder speech though.I suggest using the MFR, if possible, for any purchases due to experiences with one of these mics and one of the MXV2U audio interfaces have issues. The connectivity cannot be simpler, hook up the XLR cable, the sensitivity of the mic seems great, at least to my ear, it seems to pick up the instrument's sounds cleanly, it is affordable compared to other options, and I am happy overall with the purchase regardless of the oversight? of the 3rd party. Yep, five stars.

"I think it's a very good product — it delivers clear sound that reaches the entire audience without any issues and works well in various settings."

I don't know much about microphones but the reviews for this one seemed good so I got one.Nice clear sound with no background noises.As others, I think, have said, you have to crank up the gain to get a decent volume out of it.Nice heavy solid thing that looks like it will last many years.
