The Shure SM58 is one of the world's most popular vocal mics, found on stages and in studios aross the globe. Tuned to accentuate the warmth and clarity of lead and back-up vocals, it's consistently the first choice of live performers. It's also an effective tool in the studio, and the recording mic of choice for some vocalists who prefer the intimacy of a hand-held mic and value the familiar, distinctive sound of a 58.

The SM58 is a cardioid dynamic vocal microphone designed for live performance, sound reinforcement, and studio recording. A highly effective, built-in, spherical filter minimizes wind and breath "pop" noise. The unidirectional, cardioid pickup pattern isolates the main sound source while minimizing unwanted background noise. Rugged construction, a proven shock mount system, and a steel mesh grille ensure that even with rough handling, the SM58 will perform consistently. Outdoors or indoors, singing, speech - the SM58 is the overwhelming choice of recording professionals, vocalists and project studios alike. Includes clip and bag
