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, this is plug-and-go simplicity. It just works really well and requires no servicing or fussing about with. The SM57 is the uni-directional model ... more

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.

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 competitors. They do still feedback but for the most part that feedback is based on bands use of the microphone and cupping the microphone ... more
