Shure SM 58 LC

I was using Shure microphones in bands back in 1972 and they were noticeably tough and durable with their steel bodies. They had a great reputation even then although how good they sounded in the loud rock bands I was in is a matter best left to history. 'Ziggeeeeeeeee - plaaaaaaaaaaayed gui- tar-ar-arrrrrr!' Without the need for messing around with batteries like you'd get with a mike requiring an active power source or ghost power off a mixer, ...
...crisp sound with that long-established Shure solidity and reliability means that they get pressed into service by those for whom choices of equipment are of vital importance. I dropped a Shure microphone on a pub floor in the seventies and a guitarist with attitude looked me right in the eye and in a voice not unlike that of Dirty Harry said, 'You-can-be-so-uncool!' But I picked up that mike and it was unmarked, undamaged in any way, and we were ...

Review of Shure SM 58 LC

This is the 'industry standard' live vocal microphone. It turns sound into electricity, which passes down a cable to your mixing desk, where it becomes a usable signal - as simple as that. The great thing about this microphone is that it does it's simple job in a simple, effective way. The SM58's design is what most people associate with microphones in general. They are used around the world at all levels, from pub gigs to concerts that are broadcast ...
...usable signal which isn't faithful to the original source sound exactly, but is more than usable for live applications. The response rolls off the low end, starting at around 50Hz, and it also has a noticeable peak at around 3 to 7KHz. These attributes give it a 'cutting' quality that helps vocals cut through a live mix - and are the reasons why this mic is such a popular favourite for vocals. Other than this, there isn't much to write about the ...

Review of Shure SM 58 LC

...The product itself is a shure SM 58 LC professional microphone for vocal singing. ~~~Make & model~~~ It is one of the most recognisable microphone's on the market with its graphite grey body and dull silver head. It comes complete with a mike stand holder and a soft case, as well as the box it is supplied with. I purposely bought this model without the on/off switch as a friend told me he had some trouble with a switch on a Shure, (although it ...
...whilst gigging). I use my Shure SM 58 LC for ocasional gig's and regular home recording and have never had less than 100% from it, so I would recommend these to everyone as a vocal mike. I have even used it for miking up a lead guitar amplifier and more recently a bass combo to get a more realistic live sound, it handled this with ease. If you take care of this mic it will last you a long time and won't let you down sound/quality wise. As with ...

Review of Shure SM 58 LC

Considered the industry standard it was also the standard used in Red Square Nightclub until the majority were broken during a Johnny Truant show. Microphones never have much to be said about other then they are good or not but these I may be able to get a bit more out about. They are a good mic, they are the industry standard for a reason, they feature good pick up, good construction and a resistance to feedback that is pretty much untouched by ...
...most part that feedback is based on bands use of the microphone and cupping the microphone without our sound guy being able to compensate fast enough. They are fairly reliable, the screens however are easy to break off. They are also a bit more delicate then the cheaper microphones. I'd suggest these for big shows and another set for the small bands that don't care. ...

Review of Shure SM 58 LC

We all have seen them, and almost without exception, we all love them. They are in many ways THE defining microphone. If you ask a 5 year old to draw a mic, it is likely the picture will bear a resemblance to the mainstay of Shure's range. The microphone is versatile, sturdy and makes almost everything sound good; though the signal going into it is of great importance. It's main purpose is for vocals; and as such has been used by almost every singer ...
...you dont know the vocalist, they are the best bet to get a decent sound. The SM58 gives a relatively flat frequency response, wide enough to cover any vocalist and give a flattering result. The exception to this comes with the presense peak. Some frequencies are boosted in their response; which gives slightly more cut on the voice - however with certain vocalists this can prove a hindrance than a response. The secret is to try it and see. The 58 ...

...major problem with the SHURE SM58 but I guess highlights the reason behind paying that bit more for a SHURE rather than going for a cheaper alternative. Another note is I've suffered hardley any feedback with this mic, which is good news when your half way through a recording! ...

Review of Shure SM 58 LC

The Shure SM58 is one of the best made close vocal microphones in existence. It is quite heavy but very durable with a tungsten steel shaft coated in plastic to give it good grip. The Shure series of microphones have been going for years and are well know for their reliability. All the super groups have used them at some point. I still see people using cheap plastic rubbish. The Shure is a dynamic omnidirectional microphone which only picks up your ...

Review of Shure SM 58 LC

Probably the best all round microphone I have ever owned. Some microphones have a better sound for spoken word, some for singing. This does the job fantasticly no matter what its used for, or where it is. Also built like a rock. When you drop it, you may dint the grille (which is dirt cheap to replace), but 99%25 of the time the microphone keeps on working. ...

My first microphone and i am very happy ! I am doing sound production at college and changed my cuboard at home into a vocal booth. I bought this mic after reading all the hype about it and i am very happy - I must admit though its not the clearest microphone in the world and i am updating to a se2200a which is a better mic for my needs. In terms of quality and robustness its an excellent mic - was very good when i was performing live - very clear and punchy ! Great mic ! go on - you know you want one ! ...

Aaah the Shure SM 58, where would music be without it. There wouldnt be one commercial band who didnt start off using this quality microphone. As this microphone is also very cheap it makes it even more of a worthwhile. On the other hand, one negative criticism i can pick out is that this microphone only picks up the mid ranges of the vocals, which in turn mean that people with very high or low voices arent the best people to use this as the timbre ...
