Shure SM58 LC Reviews

A classic and ultra reliable microphone for vocals, with one of the best balance between quality and price. I currently own two, and it will always be my first choice when it comes buying gear for my live shows.

its shure

Its the legendary SM58, good sounding and nice cardio appliance

The Mic. The Myth. The Legend.

Let's be honest, if you're sincerely reading this review and you have never held one of these microphones in your hand before, you aren't allowed to call yourself a musician just yet, and especially not a vocalist.

I've never known another mic to be able to take such a beating and still be able to perform up to standard. There is a reason that this thing is the workhorse of the live music industry and has been since 1966.

All of that being said, I don't there's anyone who would recommend this mic for any studio applications. Its life should certainly be lived out on the stage.

Do you perform live?

Do you sing?

Buy this mic.

SM58 the go to microphone

Look I sing a bit of backing vocal everynow and then. Bought this as I have used SM58's for years. Even seen John Otway and Wild Woolly Barrett play cricket with them. Robust seems a tame word to describe them. Good frequency response and as a general purpose mike its perfect.

I bought this for my personal home karaoke needs...! It is excellent value for money and considering all the drunken shenanigans, it has proven to be remarkably resistant to "dropping the mike" (yes, awful, I know... but drunken non-musicians don't know you shouldn't do this!). For the price, an absolutely excellent mike.

It is the best choice to make when you need to have a great reliable and solid mike for a minimal price. I tried to replace sm 58 with different other but never found the same stable quality even during harsh condition events. I'm very pleased with all the sm 58 I have.

Perfect product.

It's not considered an industry standard for nothing.

What can I say, a classic vocal microphone at a great price!

Great On the Road Mic

Never lets you down. Solid Mic and great sound.

Classic

An industry standard vocal microphone. Not the best, but it has done the job well for decades. There is not really much more to say

Tolles Preis-Leistungs Verhältnis- Super Sound - Robust

Tolles Mikro. Ich benutze es hauptsächlich in meinem Übungsraum und auch mal für eine Live-Nummer mit der Band.

Robuste Technik und wirklich sauberer Klang in allen Lagen.

Empfehlung: Kaufen

Top microphone I ever had. Price/quality ratio is amazing.

Great mic

Great vocal mic for the price

Industry standard for a reason

The SM58 is Industry standard fo dynamic handheld mics for a reason. Maybe the Beta58 suits you better, though. A short omparison:

1) Beta58 Hypercardioid, SM58 Cardiod - so the Beta58 shows a significantly more directed pickup pattern, which can be good or bad, depending on how much you can control your mic positon and how the monitors are set up (cardioid is least sensitive on the rear, hypercardioid is least sensitive on the sides).

2) Beta58 has a significantly higher output level at similar SPL - if you are working with less expensive preamps this can be a big advantage. With the SM58, it depends a lot on the preamp used if you get pro level results or not.

3) Beta58 has an extended high frequency response, it's high mids / low highs ('presence') are a little faint, but can be easily EQed in, as it takes EQ very well.

4) Overall built quality is better at the Beta58: Hardenend grill, better damping of handling noise. In combination with midrange gear (Focusrite Scarlett series interfaces for example) I prefer the Beta58, as the missing mid / presence peak (it's only 'disadvantge' compare to the SM58) can be EQed in easily, but the higher output level is a real advantage: It gives you a better signal to noise ratio. If you use high end gear with good preamps the SM58 can deliver excellent results, too, though when the budget is big enough you'd rather go with a high-end handheld condenser instead (for example Neumann KMS105), unless you are very loud on stage...

absolute top

i'm smitten with these mics. not to expensive, good sound quality. sturdy, to withstand abuse. got a number of these mics and they remain my absolute favorite for live and studio.

Shure SM58 LC

used these for all our sound recordings

robust and well made with good sound quality for talk and singing

good mic. i use it for vocals with a loop station. it picks up some noise from the speakers that are 1,5 meters away and this is annoying when I start a new loop and i want only the voice to be heard. but i guess that's normal, and for its price I am happy with the product!

Simply the best

Ordered 2 and ordering 2 more today.

Bread and butter item

There's a reason it has a reputation for quality. Great little work horse! Takes a few knocks and bangs at gigs and no noticable degradation in sound quality!

Classic

Nothing to add! Buy, it is very affordable. For live shows - perfect. Ofcourse there is a better mic out here in the world, but for that value... Hard to find..
