SM58S : Get the one without the switch

12 years ago

We have locked our switches in the on position (there is a plate you can unscrew and rotate to hold the switch on). When we bought them, we thought that it would be good to have switches, but they just got accidentally turned off and we never once turned them off purposefully!

Sound wise, and feature wise, the SM58 is something you can't go wrong with. There is nothing more to say really. Really good mic for a good price. There are other mics, better & worse, but these are hard to go wrong with. :D

They also last a long long time. Ours practically look brand new despite being 3 years old!

FYI In truth a singer should try out all they can before choosing as every voice suits something different, but it is not always practical or possible to do tests like that. So the SM58 is generally the mic people buy. And I don't think there is anything wrong with that :D
