Shure SM58 dynamic microphone

Introducing the Shure SM58 dynamic microphone

The SM58 dynamic microphone has become a top choice among vocalists and touring sound professionals. It is a unidirectional (cardioid) dynamic vocal microphone designed for professional vocal use in live performance, sound reinforcement, and studio recording. An ideal choice for a professional vocal artist in any live performance setting, it is tuned to accentuate the warmth and clarity of lead and backing vocals.

Since going on sale in 1966, the SM58 has become the industry standard. Designed from the very beginning for life on the road. It became famous for its toughness and steel mesh filter that reduces wind and ‘pop’ noises - it picks up your voice and nothing else.

You can be confident of its durability - Shure tried freezing it, cooking it, and submerging it. They even dropped it from a 7-storey building and it still worked! Once you know that, you understand why it’s the microphone The Rolling Stones go on tour with.

A legendary vocal mic

With its warm, clear sound and frequency response optimised for vocals, the SM58 is a legend among vocal microphones worldwide. The Shure SM58 is a dynamic microphone for live performances, professional sound reinforcement, and studio recordings. An integrated, highly effective filter prevents breathing and wind noises, while the cardioid characteristic isolates the signal source and reduces unwanted background noise.

A trusty tool for any musical occasion

The robust design, the tried and tested shock absorber system, and the steel mesh grille ensure that the SM58 always works reliably even in the rough and tumble of everyday stage life. Whether in the open or in a hall, for singing or speaking - the SM58 has been the undisputed number one among professionals all over the world for decades.
