Shure SM58 Mic Description
Legendary for its uncanny ability to withstand abuse that would destroy any other microphone, the Shure SM58 has not only helped to define the sound of rock vocals on stage, it's also been used as a hammer to build stages and gone on to perform flawlessly later at the gig. Using a club's house system? You'll be singing through an SM58. And in the studio? Daniel Lanois always uses the SM58 or Beta58 on Bono's vocals.

The Shure SM58 Mic is world-renowned for its distinctive upper-midrange presence peak that ensures an intelligible, lively sound. Perfectly fits the hand, balanced for total comfort during long gigs. Frequency response is a smooth, vocal-tailored 50Hz-15kHz, and the price is a bargain considering its life expectancy.

ive had this 58 since i was a kid. at least 15 years. i lost it for a while, ended up finding it after it spent a few years in my garage that gets VERY damp. see i live in the PNW, we get a LOT of rain and everything is wet 8 months a year.

anyhow, you cant tell sound and look wise whatesoever.

not the greatest mic, but worth every penny.
it gets the job done, and wont quit on you.

I like using this for lead vocals on rock songs.
However, I don't use it on much else

Good choice for a lead vocal with a good strong voice. Will do OK for recording but best suited for live stage work. (jmho)

It deserves its legendary status as a live vocal mic. I've personally used one for about 20 years and haven't moved on to any other live vocal mics, except for a 57, which was only when there weren't enough 58's to go around for the band.

I own 4 of these bad boys!

Reliability: 10
Indestructable. I still own one that I bought in 1994. They're perfect for the road and gigging.

Overall Rating: 10
Overall, I'll keep on using these for live vocal performances. I have 4 of these right now, so whenever I pick up in a band, we'd have enough high quality vocal mics to around.
