Questions frequently asked
Is the Shure SM58 suitable for live vocal performances?
Its dynamic cardioid capsule is designed for vocals and helps keep the singing at the forefront. The frequency response from 50 Hz to 15 kHz highlights the midrange frequencies essential for intelligibility. The bass roll-off reduces proximity effect when the mouth is very close to the grille.
What type of connector does this microphone use?
The XLR output allows connection to a mixer, audio interface, or sound system with an XLR input.
Does the SM58 reduce handling noise and plosives?
A pneumatic shock mount limits noise transmitted during handling. The built-in pop filter attenuates plosives without additional accessories.
Can it be used near stage monitors?
The cardioid pattern favors rejection of ambient sounds and provides high tolerance to close stage monitors.
What accessories come with the microphone?
The package includes a mic clip, a carrying pouch, and a multi-step adapter. This switchless version avoids accidental cutouts during a performance.
