Shure Beta 58 A 5-stars Reviews

Great workhorse

I always reach for a Beta 58 on vocals. I find it a great, reliable workhorse that never disappoints on any voice. Durable, nice solid weight to hold and just that extra sparkle over an SM58. 20+ years of using them and I always come back to them as a standard for me. I love a Neumann KMS105 but find they don't suit every vocal, and I've never been happy with any of the Sennheiser e865/e835/e945 etc. Buy as many as you can.

Goto Live vocal mic

Amazing sound and great build quality with out a stupid price.

Whilst these are not the cheapest pro Mic out there they are a huge step up from the sm58. the claims about feedback rejection are true and they are strong.

Vocals sound good and clear, have had no complaints from bands when using them.

will continue to use these for a long time and have trust they will last a long time. a good investment.

Probably the best microphone I have ever used!

It is no coincidence that this mic has been used by singers like Myles Kennedy, Cornell and Axl..!

Best value for money choice

I finally bought the Shure Beta 58 A after having used borrowed ones for a long time for playing gigs. Very reliable choice, never had a problem. The sound is nice and clear, the structure really solid and it seems more than adequate for beginner to semi-professional musicians at a reasonable price. I'm perfectly satisfied.

"The every live event" vocal microphone.

Exceptional quality and sound, very durable, very good looking and very reliable. I use it for vocals live and occasionally for some studio work. My voice is low and I find this mic the perfect for me. IMO the best possible quality for the price.

Best microphone

Our lead female singer bought it. We use it for acoustic songs and also for rock. In few weeks of trying is she very very happy with it and she cant stop telling how is it good. we also used it for recording and it came ou just perfect.

so, if you are looking for good microphone which can you use everywhere and everytime is this absolutley the best option.

Price is a little high, but its worth it.

First Class Mic for Vocals

Highly recommended mic. Does exactly what it says it does. I want another one.

Fits in the hand perfectly. Its dynamic range is superb for vocals.

perfect mic for live and practice

you would be hard pressed to find a more durable, versatile and still a great sounding mic. nothing to complain about here

Industry Standard For A Reason

If you're buying this mic, you know exactly what you're going to get. Every venue from your 100 cap clubs to Wembley Arena has at least one of these probably.

If you're a vocalist and want to start taking your own mic with you to your gigs (and avoid all the disgusting germs on the house mics!) this is the perfect mic to start with. No sound guy should complain if you ask to plug one of these in. Maybe get a regular Shure 58 as well in case the sound guy isn't great with on stage monitors and you're getting feedback from them (do a quick Google of the mic's polar responses and you'll understand what I mean). Really though this mic will do the job for 99% of any situation you're in as a vocalist.

Also does a good job on guitar amps and can be used as a snare mic too!

Good versatile mic that will sort you out in most live situations (and it'll take a good beating too!)

It can be used in the studio too but I wouldn't recommend it on vocals if you have the option of other vocal specific microphones.

Best microphone for live gigs

Use: I am using the microphone for live gigs, which I have it every weekend. I do around hundred gigs every year on different parties and I use it for singing and speaking. That is the best microphone for live gigs.

Clarity: The microphone is the best for singers and speakers. It provide a good spectre, a really nice picture in every place, where you use it. I have not been disappointed since I am using it. Sound that is provided by that microphone is amazing.

Pros: For that amount of money, you can not get better microphone. Of course there are some other producers, which are also good, but that microphone is powerful, really robust, with amazing live performances.

Cons: No cons at all.

Comprehensibility: It si microphone that is mostly used by all sort of musicians, amateur and professional, so that it the main thing to tell about his quality! Professionals, who have money to spend for other microphones are using Beta 58, they are singing in front of thousands of people, so it is amazing product from shure!

Further information: Every singer, who wants really good microphone for live gigs should have that microphone!

A very good mic

The reputation on these are worth it. Sturdy, good quality microphone.

Simply the best

Simply the best vocal microphone in the market.

Shure Beta 58 A

An excellent vocal dynamic mic from Shure. The built quality, the clarity and the dynamics are great ,making this microphone an industry standard.

Best used for live -or studio- vocals, brass, amps and drums !

Five Stars !

great mic

a very usual mic that everyone should have.

Great both for live and studio use

The standard for live singing and speech

I have used this mic both in studio and live, although it is favorable in live setups due to its cardioid pickup pattern ability to cancel out unwanted sources coming from its back.

It is a mic of very good quality, very robust, capable of sustaining impacts and heavy wear and tear thus making it even more ideal for live.

In terms of sound quality, it is a bit brighter than the SM58. In fact I tend to use this mic for speech in live setups as it helps making the voice more intelligible and clear. For singing vocals, I prefer this mic to be used on Bass, Alto, and Tenor voices. In styles of modern rock and pop music it complements well the sound. But I would go for the SM58 for other more 'raw' styles such as Indie and Folk.

All in all it is a good investment for live events, where build-quality, rejection of unwanted sound sources and intelligibility are key to a good sounding event.

Great mic

Bought this mic to use for gigs with a band.

It picks up vocals very well, you need to sing directly into it mouth nearly touching the mic, only issue I've encountered with the shure beta 58a is feedback, it needs to be at least 2 meters away from your system to have no feedback whatsoever.

Overall, best mic I've bought and I plan on using for years and years. Definitely worth the money.

Perfect

Good solid mike, never any problems

THE live-mic

Using two in our band. Built like tanks, great sound, no feedback issues. Bono uses it - what more do you need to know :-)

Perfect allrounder

Got an advice from someone with a lot more experience to go for the beta's instead. They are really worth the extra cost.

Hands down - yes. Made a huge difference to the combined rock and acoustic sets performed.

Awesome microphone

I have been using Shure Beta 58A for almost two years now. It's my first choice for all loud bands' vocalists. There's almost no feedback (even with the gain set really high!) so all gigs sound great.

For recording purposes this microphone is my first decision for rock vocalists and it's also great for micing up choirs (you need at least two microphones for this purpose), different brass/wind instruments - all you need is just a little imagination and experience.

The building and the quality are awesome as always when we are talking about Shure microphones.

Definitely the best microphone for this amount of money!
