Shure SM58-S Dynamic Vocal Microphone with on/off Switch

Product Information

However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers. So if you're still trying to make up your mind about whether to go for a SM58 or not, just buy one anyway, and make up your mind later.

There are numerous design features that have lead to the SM58 being the world’s most popular microphone and such a legendary piece of equipment.The SM58SE, like all Shure products has been built to last. The casing on the microphone has been created entirely from metal for a heavy duty ruggedness that can withstand the rigours of touring and even the most lively performances. Shure SM58s has a durable build. Whatever you do with it, it is very unlikely to break. You shouldn’t try using it as a hammer, as has been suggested by some… but it is certainly strong enough to survive a dozen of drops and more. Don’t get too excited though. Most recent dynamic mics won’t fall in pieces either, as all of them have a very simple construction. In case with SM58s, it is just a capsule wrapped in ball-like screen, which by the way acts as an effective pop filter, and an on/off switch. That’s it. The original Shure SM58 doesn’t even have that switch, but I suggest you go for the “s” aka switch version. Verdict In an emergency you can use it pretty much across the stage, it will even handle the sound pressure from a snare drum, but there are better mics suited for that.

The frequency range the SM58 focuses on is perfect for the capturing of warm, full-bodied vocals while the smooth, low-cut roll off helps to reduce handling noise, wind noise and plosives.You can depend on the SM58S to do your voice justice. Exceptional performance and build quality have earned it a legendary reputation both in the recording studio and on stage. Now with a silent on/off switch, you've got full control - right at your fingertips. It's no surprise that when The Killers cut Mr Brightside, when Patti Smith gave power to the people, and when Public Enemy brought the noise, they were all holding Shure's legendary microphone. The Shure SM58S with Mic Stand is a customisable bundle consisting of Shure's premier dynamic vocal microphone, the SM58 with on/off switch, as well as a microphone stand and XLR cable of your choice. Ideal for home recording, travelling entertainers, live music venues, touring artists, podcasters, studios, practice venues, and vocalists of all kinds, the SM58S is one of the best-in-class live microphones for a reason. Finally and of equal importance is to mention the shape and design. Again I had some pre-conceived idea when I first took it out of the box; too short and sloping grip not right ? How wrong could I be ! As soon as it was coupled to a XLR cable the feel of the SM58S was just right both in weight and design. Its apparent shortness (compared with some more recent designs) was just an absolute boon to an amateur quizmaster, such as myself, who has to hold a microphone for couple of hours in a crowded room where questions are read and an appropriate pause is the norm. I say, this bearing in mind that it is not appropriate at such events to stay in one place using a stand. You can be confident of its durability - Shure tried freezing it, cooking it, and submerging it. They even dropped it from a 7-story building and it still worked! Once you know that, you understand why The Rolling Stones take the SM58 on tour.

Personally I don't think a review is required for a SM58, but for those of you who are fairly new to the game, and are not just simply looking for a mic, but looking to invest in a piece of equipment that will be with you for MANY years.......... Read on! Beta58 has a significantly higher output level at similar SPL - if you are working with less expensive preamps this can be a big advantage. With the SM58, it depends a lot on the preamp used if you get pro level results or not.
