One of the world's most popular vocal mics.

The Shure SM58 mic is legendary for its uncanny ability to withstand abuse that would destroy any other microphone. The Shure SM58 has not only helped to define the sound of rock vocals on stage, it's also been used as a hammer to build stages and gone on to perform flawlessly later at the gig. Using a club's house system? You'll be singing through an SM58. And in the studio? Daniel Lanois always uses the SM58 or Beta 58 on Bono's vocals.

The Shure SM58 mic is world-renowned for its distinctive upper-midrange presence peak that ensures an intelligible, lively sound. Perfectly fits a performer's hand, balanced for total comfort during long gigs. Frequency response is a smooth, vocal-tailored 50Hz-15kHz, and the price is a bargain considering its life expectancy.

Features

  • Performance tested, industry standard
  • Uniform cardioid pick-up pattern for maximum gain before feedback and excellent rejection of off-axis sound
  • Tailored frequency response specifically shaped for vocals, with brightened midrange and bass roll off to control proximity effect
  • Advanced pneumatic shock mount system that minimizes transmission of mechanical noise and vibration
  • Steel-mesh grille and enamel-coated metal construction resist wear and abuse
  • Effective built in pop-filter reduces undesirable wind and breathe noise
  • Furnished with zippered storage bag and break-resistant stand adapter
  • Extremely durable under the heaviest use

You can't have too many SM58s in your kit. Order today.

    My SM58 is over 30 years old and been through all those years of working abuse and still works great! I needed another mic, so of course, I got another SM58. Looks great, sounds great and I am sure (SHURE) it's going to last a long, long time!

    I have bought several other mics, many almost as expensive. I am comparing live sound - all over the stage - mics, not fixed stand or studio mics. Nady makes some decent sounding mics, from very cheap to about the same price, but they are usually fragile, and the cheaper you go, the worse the handling noise. AKG makes some very nice mics, but I felt that they were harder mic properly for live sound use. Too bright / hot up close, and too muted / dull as you move away. Behringer has a great return /repair policy, but I need my mics on stage, not in the mail. In the end, every mic I have used gets compared back to SM-58, and it simply is the right mic 90% of the time.
    Very tough, and the handling noise is very low compared to 'cheap' mics.
    These are built very well, and while you should not drop any mic, these seem to handle it pretty well.
    There are Cheaper mics, but you get what you pay for. It seems most of the cheaper mics always get broken, have poor sound qualities, more handling noise, and usually much cheaper construction.

        Comments about Shure SM58 Mic:

        I've been using this mic for 7 1/2 years when i first bought it was for a talent show they used cheap Peavey mics with to bright of a sound(not very good) so i picked this up at this time i had a 4 octave range and like many singers at age 17 with a range like that i was cocky as well you can imagine, it hit everything and i was in the top 5 of 20 performances.

        I used it as a hammer not thinking because a nail was sticking out of the stage before we opened, plugged it in, and it worked the sound engineers about "DROPPED" bricks. now all these years later I've gone solo and i'm using this as a studio mic, i only use it for vocals and after all it's abuse it's done better than three separate condensers, now realize a lot of low end condensers cannot pick up high frequency, i'm down to a 3 octave range now, G2-G5 and even in the high parts it's crystal clear, i run a busy studio but it's amazing for male-female, weak-strong, any style vocals, i did metal screams sound amazing, i've done classical, amazing still, played for a band with a 15 year old female singer amazing, recorded a 50 year old very raspy singer, did amazing, there is no better Mic than this for the price.

        I'd buy hundreds, but one of these things will last as long as you will,

        Currently running it through a Peavey PV6 mixer into my laptop with Magix 16, and like earlier stated, better than the Condensers I've used.

          Comments about Shure SM58 Mic:

          This Mic is brilliant. I have three of them, and i use them for everything from vocals to amps. People always ask me why I use them and my answer is always the same: One of the mics is from the mid 70s. i have honestly forgotten which one, and can't tell which it is because they all sound identical. Bottom line, these mics are well built and will definitely stand the test of time (The 70s mic has belonged to two previous family members, lived in a basement for 15 years, and then come everywhere on the road with me and is still going strong.)

            We use Shure SM58's in our band for vocals - one SM58 for each singer - and they perform reliably and the sound reproduction is excellent. We could buy more expensive mics but its hard to justify paying more when the quality of the SM58 is so good. And these mics are durable too. We don't abuse our equipment but when mishaps do occur the SM58's have held up with no worries.

              Excellent mic. I have had an SM-58 for 40 years and it was time to replace it. While this mic is not quite made to the same specs as the old Made in the USA Shure SM-58, after using it for a week, it appears to still be of excellent quality. Certainly in this price range, and probably even in nearly double the price range, it would be hard to find a mic that is as durable and versatile as this baby.

                This mic is great, and is superior for durability. Though it is made greatly for live use, for some uses (rock vocals, guitar amps) it gets amazing tone in the studio world too. Amazing mic and amazing price too.
