Shure SM58S Switchable 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.

Product Weight:  10.5 oz
Dimensions:  6.38"L x 2"W at grille, 0.88"W at cord connection
