New Shure SM58-LC Dynamic Wired XLR Professional Vocal Microphone

This item is new, in box.

A standard on stages throughout the world for years, the Shure SM58 Dynamic Vocal Microphone offers a carefully tailored frequency rise at about 4,000 Hz for smooth-as-silk vocals that stand out in the mix. Long associated with its unmistakable sound and unsurpassed reliability, the Shure SM58 Dynamic Vocal Microphone is widely considered the most popular mic in the world.

Designed for professional vocal use in sound reinforcement and studio recording, the Shure SM58 Dynamic Vocal Microphone utilizes a highly effective, built-in, spherical filter that minimizes wind and breath pop noise while the cardioid pickup pattern isolates the main sound source and minimizes unwanted background noise. The tailored vocal response on the SM58 is a legendary tone that has become a world standard.

Proximity Effect
When the sound source is less than 1/4 inch from the microphone, the microphone boosts bass frequencies (by 6 to 10 dB at 100 Hz), creating a warmer and richer bass sound than when farther away. This effect, known as proximity effect, happens only in unidirectional dynamic microphones like the Shure SM58. The low-frequency roll-off on the SM58 provides greater control, allowing the user to take full advantage of proximity effect.

Rugged construction, a proven shock mount system, and a steel mesh grille ensure that even with rough handling, the Shure SM58 Dynamic Vocal Microphone will perform consistently. Outdoors or indoors, singing or speech, the SM58 is the overwhelming choice of professionals worldwide.

Application and Placement
Ideal for close-up vocals, the Shure SM58 can be held in the hand or mounted on a stand. Keep in mind that microphone technique is largely a matter of personal taste and that there is no one correct microphone position.

• Lead and Backup Vocals: Lips less than 150 mm (6 in.) away or touching the windscreen, on axis to microphone. Robust sound, emphasized bass, maximum isolation from other sources.
• Speech and Spoken Word: 6 inches to 2 feet away from mouth, just above nose height. Natural sound, reduced bass.
• Distant placement: 3 to 6 feet away. Thinner, distant sound with ambience.
