Quality sound for any source
What makes the Shure SM58 a legend? Let’s start with the fact that you can stick one in front of any vocalist (and most instruments, for that matter) and get excellent results. It’s a fact — even though it’s best known today for its near indestructibility, no one would have cared about the SM58 in the first place if it didn’t sound amazing. The secret to the SM58 mic’s sound is its critically tuned frequency response, which cuts out low-end rumble and adds a noticeable rise in the upper-mid frequencies. This deliberate presence peak adds warmth and clarity to your vocals and lets you get the most out of a wide range of sources, including guitar cabinets, brass, and many other instruments. So, if you’re wondering if the SM58 is still relevant after 60 years in the spotlight, the answer is a resounding “yes!”
Consistent performance you can count on
Here’s something you may not have known about the Shure SM58. This handheld microphone is built to very tight standards, meaning an SM58 will sound like an SM58. You can mix and match and add more SM58s to your collection and always get the sound you expect. What’s more, they all have the same focused cardioid polar pattern. That’s great onstage, where you have to worry about bleed from the mains causing feedback. It also lets you get solid isolation between your vocals and instruments — a bonus in the studio.
Extreme durability for a lifetime of use
We can’t mention the trusty SM58 without talking about its legendary toughness. Drop it from a skyscraper, run over it with a box truck, freeze it, drown it, bury it in soft peat for three months — it’s all been done to the SM58, repeatedly (there are YouTube videos to prove it). The best part is that not only will this heroic mic continue to function after serious abuse, but it will also sound the same as it did before. Now, do you think a little thing like the normal wear and tear of stage life is any match for your SM58? No way! Buy a Shure SM58, and you’ve got a mic you can put in your will.
