Shure SM58 Dynamic Cardioid Microphone

The Shure SM58 Dynamic Cardioid Microphone is one of the most widely used vocal microphones in the world, designed for professional use in live performance, sound reinforcement and studio recording. Its tailored frequency response has become a world standard for singing and speech, suiting vocalists and performers who need dependable, consistent sound night after night.

A vocal tone built for clarity
A frequency response tailored specifically for vocals brightens the midrange and rolls off excess bass, helping voices cut through a mix clearly without sounding harsh or muddy. A uniform cardioid pickup pattern isolates the main sound source while minimising unwanted background noise, making it well suited to loud stages and busy recording environments alike.

Built to handle real-world use
A highly effective, built-in spherical filter minimises wind noise and breath related "pop" sounds, while a pneumatic shock-mount system reduces handling noise during live use. A dark gray, enamel-painted die cast metal case is paired with a matte-finished, silver coloured spherical steel mesh grille, so the SM58 continues to perform consistently even with rough handling, indoors or outdoors.

Reliable, professional design
A break-resistant stand adapter is included and rotates 180 degrees for flexible positioning, while the microphone's legendary Shure build quality and reliability have made it a long-standing choice for performers, engineers and studios worldwide.
