Shure SM58 Handheld Microphone
This unidirectional (cardioid) dynamic vocal microphone is designed for professonal vocal use in sound reinforcement and studio recording. A highly effective, built-in, spherical filter minimizes wind and breath “pop” noise, while its cardioid pickup pattern isolates the main sound source while minimizing unwanted background noise.
The SM58 has a tailored vocal response for a sound which is a world standard. 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 or speech—the SM58 is the overwhelming choice of professionals worldwide.
