SM58 LC : Industry standard and rightly so

Many of my positive comments regarding SM57's also apply to their cousin the SM58. These guys are the sstaple live venue microphone of choice.

Their frequency response is typically ideal for vocals, though adaptable enough to be turned to a number of other applications in a bind, especially brass instrumentation.

The absolute key here though is durability. You could throw an SM58 under a train and use it the next night. It took a year of constant useage for our last set of these to start to deteriorate in any perceivable manner and when you consider that they were being hurled around by hardcore punk singers every few days that is high praise indeed.

Brilliant bits of audio equipment absolutely perfect for any music venue.

Warning: Make sure you buy these from a reputable retailer as past experience saw us mistakenly buy Chinese-made cheap copies of these (virtually identical) and they were absolutely dreadful. SM58's always go for around the same price. If you see them significantly cheaper elsewhere, be very very wary.
