Shure SM58SE

The American manufacturer Shure has been operating in the musical equipment market for over a hundred years, and is translated from English as "confidence". Having bought the SM58SE vocal microphone, you can be completely sure that you made the right choice with your choice. This is the most popular microphone in its price segment (~170 USD), which has established itself as the standard for live vocals.

Toughie

The SM58SE has a classic design, compact (162x51mm) and lightweight (300g) construction, yet incredibly durable and reliable enough that you can literally hammer nails with a microphone. The model is simply indestructible. The protective mesh can be easily unscrewed and changed, and the metal case can even withstand being run over by a car.

The best of the best

The model has existed since 1966 and since then the legendary Mick Jagger and hundreds of other world-class musicians have sung in it, considering the use of the Shure SM58 a matter of prestige.

The microphone works great right out of the box, demonstrating a lively, clear and bright sound in the range of 50 – 15000 Hz, therefore it is suitable for both female and male vocals, as well as dubbing woodwinds and brass instruments. The microphone transmits the sound of the voice almost perfectly paired with any speaker system. The built-in pop filter protects against wind, artifacts that occur during singing, breathing, and the cardioid polar pattern provides reliable protection against feedback, and the anti-shock capsule suspension system protects against mechanical noise.

Equipment

The S in the model name means that it is equipped with a power button, and it comes with a swivel stand holder and a zippered case. There is also SM58 with index CN with an 8-metre cable included and LCE, without cable and with a different type of holder.

Given the mega popularity of the microphone and the brand itself, there are many Shure fakes on the market. Therefore, in choosing a seller, you should be extremely selective and trust stores only with a proven reputation.

Do you want to listen to vocals as they are, without embellishment and distortion? Then you need the Shure SM58SE, the benchmark vocal microphone that is a pleasure to work with.
