Description

Description

The Shure SM58 is the most recognizable microphone with which most artists have sung. It was introduced in 1966 and continues to be an industry standard to this day.

The Shure microphone is the first choice among professional and amateur musicians worldwide, thanks to its clear sound and robust construction.


Excellent Sound

When it comes to speech or vocals, the tailored frequency response of the SM58 ensures a clear and dynamic sound, with enhanced midrange presence and a slight bass roll-off, thus improving transparency.

Its cardioid polar pattern primarily focuses on the front axis and significantly suppresses unwanted sound sources from the sides and rear, providing excellent protection from ambient noise.

Additionally, the built-in windscreen and pop filter significantly reduce wind interference.

Road-tested

The Shure SM58 is reliable for everything, even more so when things get tough. Its robust construction, steel mesh grille, and enameled metal body effectively protect it from the rigors of daily stage use - and the built-in pneumatic shock-mount system significantly reduces the impact of bumps, handling noise, and vibrations.

At the center of attention

Microphones are more or less sensitive to sounds arriving from different angles. This directional sensitivity is an important characteristic of the microphone and falls into a defined category of polar patterns.

Different polar patterns adapt to different recording or live broadcasting sources. Singers naturally prefer microphones that focus on their voice and suppress as much environmental noise as possible.

Cardioid microphones, which derive their name from their heart-shaped polar pattern and by definition favor sound sources coming from the front, are ideal for this purpose - especially because they suppress unwanted noises coming from the sides or the back of the microphones, thus limiting feedback issues.

Mode of Operation

Dynamic

Durable microphone that does not require power supply. Ideal for live performances and loud sound sources (vocals, drums, amplifiers).
Directivity
Unidirectional (Cardioid)

Directivity

Unidirectional (Cardioid)

Cardioid: Captures sound primarily from the front, reducing sounds from the sides and rear. Ideal for vocals, podcasting, and live recordings.
Frequency
50 - 15000 Hz

Frequency

Indicates the frequency range that a microphone can capture and is expressed in Hertz (Hz). The more balanced the range, the more natural and clear the sound.

Usage examples:

  • 100 – 10,000 Hz to 200 – 12,000 Hz: Emphasis on speech intelligibility, with limited low and very high frequencies.
  • 50 – 14,000 Hz to 80 – 16,000 Hz: Balance of volume and clarity. Ideal for live performances and dynamic microphones.
  • 40 – 15,000 Hz to 50 – 18,000 Hz: Rich, natural vocal sound. Suitable for podcasts, radio, and streaming.
  • 20 – 18,000 Hz to 20 – 20,000 Hz: Full spectrum with high detail and "air". Ideal for studio recording.
  • Below 20 Hz & above 20,000 Hz: Extended technical range for specialized studio applications.
Impendance
150 ohm

Impendance

Indicates how "easily" the microphone transmits its signal to the equipment (mixer, sound card, amplifier). It is expressed in Ohms (Ω).

  • Low impedance (≤ 600 Ω): Stable signal, less noise, ideal for professional equipment and long cable runs.
  • Medium impedance (600 – 1,000 Ω): Good balance, common in live and general use.
  • High impedance (> 1,000 Ω): More sensitive to loss and noise, usually found in older or specialized equipment.
Sensitivity
1.85 mV/Pa

Sensitivity

The sensitivity of a microphone indicates how strong the signal it produces is when recording a sound. It is measured in mV/Pa or dBV/Pa.

  • High sensitivity: The microphone can capture very low sounds, but it may be more sensitive to ambient noise.
  • Low sensitivity: It records louder sound sources without distortion, but requires more amplification from the preamp.

In general, condenser microphones have higher sensitivity than dynamic ones.

Max SPL
94 dB

Max SPL

Max SPL (Maximum Sound Pressure Level) is the maximum sound pressure level (in dB) that a microphone can withstand before it starts to distort the sound.

  • High Max SPL (e.g., 140-160dB): Ideal for recording loud sources such as drums, amplified guitar, or live concerts.
  • Lower Max SPL (e.g., 120dB): Suitable for vocals and softer recordings.

The higher the Max SPL, the louder the sounds it can capture without distortion.
