Shure SM58S

The SM58 is a legend among dynamic vocal microphones. Introduced in 1966, the SM58 is still an industry standard today, and it is a regular first choice amongst both music professionals and amateurs worldwide thanks to its reliably clear sound and robust construction. The Shure SM58S features an on/off switch which interrupts the signal when needed.

When it comes to speech or vocals, the SM58's optimised frequency response ensures a clear and punchy sound, with a midrange presence boost and a slight bass roll-off, improving intelligibility and transparency. Its cardioid polar pattern focuses mainly on sound from the front axis and largely suppresses unwanted sources at the sides and rear, thus providing excellent protection against background noise and feedback in the process. What’s more, the integrated windscreen and pop filter greatly reduce plosives and wind interference.

Whether Classical, Hip-Hop, Country, or Metal – the Shure SM58 has proven itself many times over in each field throughout the years. Professionals and discerning amateurs alike rely on this affordable microphone to bring out the best in their voices – whether it's a family-and-friends performance or a concert at Wembley. The frequency response of the SM58 is especially well suited to the human voice and often leaves little treatment needed at the mixing desk.

The Shure SM58 can be relied upon for anything, even more so when the going gets tough. Its rugged construction, steel mesh grille, and enamelled metal body effectively protect it from the rough-and-tumble of everyday stage use – and the integrated pneumatic shock absorber system greatly reduces the influence of knocks, handling noises, and vibrations.
