Shure SM58-LC Pro XLR Dynamic Microphone

If you are debating over this mic you are probably trying to save a couple bucks on some other jank mic nobody has ever heard of. Just get it and get on with it. Can’t beat it at this price range. There is a reason everyone recommends it. Low handling noise, great prox effect, built in pop filter, great sensitivity. Do it.

I don’t care where you’re playing, these are the mics they’ll be using, they’re sturdy, hefty, and all-around tough. As for the sound, it’s incredible, capturing all elements of my voice, unlike USB mics. Great for home recording or playing live, their ad says it all: It’s the first mic you’ll buy, it’s the last mic you’ll buy.

A little background; I am a hobbyist singer. I do not do any professional singing. However, I have been singing as a hobby for 7 years now. So I am quite aware of how my voice should sound like. In addition, I spend a lot of my professional work life in meetings and calls. So a good microphone is beneficial to my work.

I was originally using a yeti snowball for many years prior to purchasing the SM58. The reason why I swapped was because sometimes in voice calls background noise would pick up (even with a noise gate or sound remover). Condenser microphones in general are very sensitive to sound. I decided to purchase the SM58 because it was the most popular dynamic microphone I could find. Dynamic microphones have a more concentrated pick up pattern, meaning you have to speak directly into it for sound to be picked up. So naturally all my background noise issues in meetings were solved. The microphone itself is extremely sturdy. I can see it lasting for many years.

Important to note; this is a DYNAMIC microphone. As previously mentioned, it does a great job at filtering out the background noise. But as a consequence, it also does a great job at removing vocal details. Compared to my old condenser microphones, the tones were not as clear. Especially with my higher and lower most notes. This is because dynamic microphones like this one cuts off at certain sound frequencies. But this is the pay off for having sound reduction from your environment. You will have this issue with all dynamic microphones. If vocal clarity is important for your recording projects, please obtain a condenser microphone instead. I reccomend the RODE NT1 or the NT1A if you want a brighter sound. I recently got the NT1 and the amount of warmth and depth it captures in my voice is *chefs kiss*. Don’t forget to record with some sound proofing. I record in a closet. If you are singing live, that is a different story. Please stick to the dynamic microphone for live performances. That being said, you can still record songs or covers with a dynamic microphone, but for me personally, I know how I sound. I did not like how muddy this made my singing. So I no longer use it for recording vocals. I only use it in meetings/calls/live karaoke.

This microphone is not a USB microphone and will require require an interface to set it up. Good news, if you ever get a new xlr microphone you can keep using the same interface. Most starters get the Scarlett, but I opted for the stienburg ur12. (Scarlett was sold out) I think the stienburg works lovely. Also because the sm58 is a dynamic microphone, the sound reduction also means it is very quiet. You will need a cloud lifter or some sort of Amp to boost your voice. The gain on the interface is not enough.

TL;DR
– Very solid microphone.
– Good for everyday use/ Meetings/ Calls/ Live singing or performing
– OK for vocal recordings (condenser microphones is better)
– Needs an interface and preamp

Ciddi anlamda memnunum. Zaten yıllardır müzisyenlerin bir çoğunun ilk tercihi olma sebebi olduğundan fazla söze gerek yok.

I got frustrated because it is a great Mic. It has excellent sound it is just high quality over all.
It is just not mentioned in the description that t is not equipped with on and off switch.
That’s all

“Industry Standard” is a phrase you’ll often hear used to describe the Shure SM58 microphone, and for good reason. Built like a tank, and designed to sound great and minimize feedback. This is the same mic that is used on stages in stadiums and clubs across the planet. This is primarily a vocal mic, so if you’re looking to mic instruments, you’re better off going with Shure’s SM57 model. That said, you could probably run one of these SM58s over with a truck and it would still work perfectly and sound great for your vocals.
