Advantages: very good sound across the range Disadvantages: A bit tinny with guitar recordings
This is a lovely little mic ideal for home recording. I'm not gonna bore you with the spec, but rather how does the recording quality sounds. Well while its obviously not up there with condensor mic's its a good solid choice for people who are recording voice and guitars on a home recording system.
only problem I have encountered is the guitar sounds a bit tinny when I use this mic. I know I can tweek this through the mixing desk, but I own a beautiful Yamaha acoustic and I want its full resonance to be captured without comprimising the sound through digital mixing. Essentially this is not a 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 ...
Advantages: Tailored EQ Curve, Reliable, Sturdy + Good Looks Disadvantages: Lacking a little in mid for some applications
The ShureBeta 52 is my preferred dynamic bass drum microphone, for both live and studio use. It provides a focused, punchy sound which is ideal for rock and pop bass drum sounds. It is also effective on sources such as bass guitar amplifiers and other bass instruments.
Sound: The sound of this microphone is in no way 'natural', so if you're trying to achieve a perfectly true representation of the sound of a drum kit, this microphone may not be ideal. The frequency response is tailored to have a significant boost below 300Hz (variable in accordance with proximity effect) and also has a peak in the high mids. This gives it an almost 'mid scooped' sound when placed close to source sounds (such as inside a kick drum) but not in a bad way. It creates an immediatly usable sound which is particularly useful in live sound situations, but ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of Shure Beta 52
Advantages: Nice live mic +Studio mic. Disadvantages: High cost that puts it below alot of studio condensers.
expensive.
For studio recording, I'd reccomend a Red Audio R7 mic. At £45 it's had some glowering reviews in Sound On Sound. Comes in case, with wind shield and low cut filters.
You'll save alot of money, and you'll get a great mic for vocals, overhead piano and drum recording, guitar amp miking, and acoustic guitar.
For live, I'd reccomend the Behringer XM8500 at about £15. It's very similar to the Shure SM58. Jusat at a fraction of the price. It'll do for any performing musicians.
If you would like to hear a vocal recording in the studio of the Shure SM58 Beta on vocals, email me at bandagethesehearts@hotmail.com and I can provide you with a link to an audio file.
I hope this review has been helpful! ...
