SM58 LC : Perfect handheld podcast microphone

5 years ago

I was looking for a pair of handheld microphones for on-the-go podcast. What separated this from the rest of similar price range microphones, was the handling noise rejection and sound.

I really like the sound profile of this microphone. It sounds great when you listen to it live with headphones. I also like to add a bit more bass in post to get that perfect "studio radio/podcast" sound feel. Easy!

The handling noise rejection is extremely good. I don't use stands for my podcasts, since that'd require carrying microphone stands and a table on location, which is not always available. Me and a guest would just sit on whatever chairs or sofas are available and make ourselves comfortable. Holding the microphone is also fun.

If you want to save $50 for the same sound quality, you can, but you lose the low handling noise, which for me is worth it.

Durability is well-known and I don't need to worry about breaking this.

You get a carrying pouch for it, which is very useful. I wish it was a smaller.

If I had to say something negative about the microphone, then it'd be the weight. It's a little heavy.
