The Classic Live Vocal Mic!
The legendary Shure vocal mic, the SM58, is tuned to accentuate the warmth and clarity of lead and back-up vocals. The SM58 is consistently the first choice of performers around the globe. The Shure SM58 is a unidirectional cardioid dynamic vocal microphone designed for professional vocal use in live performance, sound reinforcement, and studio recording. A highly effective, built-in, spherical filter minimizes wind and breath "pop" noise. A cardioid pickup pattern isolates the main sound source while minimizing unwanted background noise. Outdoors or indoors, singing, speech - the SM58 is the overwhelming choice of professionals.

"Years ago, I was driving a pickup truck over-loaded with gear down a Texas highway en route to a gig. We hit a bump, our mic case flew open, and two SM58's bounced onto the pavement going 65 MPH. Amazingly, not only did the mic's still work, but their sound wasn't affected one bit (the grille, on the other hand...). Almost every gigging musician has a story like this, and that's part of what makes the SM58 an enduring classic!"
