## Description

Shure SM58S Vocal Microphone (with On/Off Switch) : desertcart.in: Musical Instruments

Review: Amazing microphone..IMPORTANT INFO. - MUST READ!!!! At first I thought the mic wasn't working..Would like to bring it to everyone's knowledge that there are 2 reasons for your mic to not work when directly plugged in..One is either the microphone cable isn't the compatible one. If you check the wiring manual on the 58 or 57, the pins 2 and 3 are in use while the pin 1 is isolated..making most common cables useless incase those cable were for condenser microphones..whatever the reason..do look out for your pin configuartion on your cable before getting upset as to why isn't your mic working.. Secondly..use a multimeter and carry out a simple continuity check to check the output of the cable's pins.. that way you'd be able to know which pin connects to which side on the other end of the cable.. And the most important reason why your mic probably isn't working is because of IMPEDANCE MISMATCH..now that is common on a low impedance microphone like the SM57 n 58 n many other dynamic mics..to come straight to the point after a little research I happened to realize all of this and finally decided I'd need a impedance transformer to gear up to my mics rear end of the cable which connects to the high impedance pre amp that i have..(Most of us have high impedance amps..probably a guitar amp too has a high impedance as its input) ALSO if your amp is a low impedance one don't be surprised if it works with a low volume on your guitar amp with no much signal strenth and quality .. This is probably because of impedance mismatch..and Shure and many companies like Audix have awesome impedance transformers to purchase from. The mic with the tranformer on sounds a 1000 times better than it would have otherwise..if you possess a sound card..you dont need to bother about purchasing a impedance transformer since the interface will do it for you..HOPE THIS HELPS..Big thnx to desertcart.. These guys are great most of the time.. Also the model of the shure transformer was Shure A95UF and Shure A85F..
Review: Best dynamic mic! Shure rocks for sure! - I did a lot of research before buying this mic. I needed a dynamic mic for both karaoke and home recording. I have a condenser mic but it is so sensitive that it picks up too much background noises like birds chirping or noisy neighbours. I decided to go for a good cardioid mic. I tried several other brands but result was not good enough as they failed to reproduce a clean recording - either bass was vibrating or treble was screeching or too much explosion on 'p' sounds. I received the SM58 yesterday and immediately tried to record some dry vocals using UM2 audio interface and Cubase DAW. The result was beyond expectations - no noise, no explosion on 'p' sounds, 's' sounds were natural and the recording exactly reproduced what was sung. Obviously the karaoke live performance testing was great as well. It has great proximity effect and in built pop filter. No need to do any extra setup for the mic. Simply sing! I have become a big fan of Shure! SM58 is certainly considered as the industry standard for good reason. It is very well built and looks pretty durable. It is an asset and definitely worth the money.

## Features

- Uniform cardioid pick-up pattern for maximum gain before feedback and excellent rejection of off-axis sound
- Steel-mesh grille and enamel-coated metal construction resist wear and abuse
- Effective built in pop-filter reduces undesirable wind and breathe noise
- On/Off switch

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Feel free to laugh a bit and excuse my ignorance. I am starting voice lessons does this microphone only work with a computer? Or can I hook it up to something different? Ok no more laughing. Thank You**
A: Your question suggests you're thinking of this mic for recording rather than performing.  The SM58 is the most universal, ubiquitous, visible microphone because it's made to produce vocal sounds (musical or spoken) with faithfulness to the source while projecting that source sound at the highest amplitude without distortion.  Moreover, the mic is made to stand up under the most rough-and-tumble physical abuse every week for many years on end (I've seen SM58's that are not only scarred by charred by fire--yet they're performing as though new out of the box).  But that's not the sort of mic you would connect to a computer for recording, processing and editing. The Shure58 is a "dynamic" mic.  Recording professionals favor the more delicate "condenser" microphone, such as the ATT2020 or the Blue Yeti--both adaptable to USB connectivity.

**Q: How long is the cable that I can get with this mic?**
A: When I ordered this mic it didn't come with a cable, as I expected.  That's how it was advertised - mic only.  I knew it was a decent mic because I've owned Shure mics in the past and it is a very reputable company who makes reliable products.  If you want a cheap (but good) alternative, check musiciansfriend.com I got a bunch of mics with cables and stands for $20 each and I honestly can't tell the difference in sound quality between those and my $65 Shure mic.

**Q: Can i use this to connect xvive u3 wireless system?**
A: Yes the wireless xvive u3 will work with this microphone cause the microphone is xlr and the xvive u3 is xlr and you just need to plug them into your mic and device

**Q: What amplifier or mixer [ $20- $50 ] should i buy which is compatible with sm58 ? need suggestion**
A: I’ve been using mics of all types, including this one (SM58LC, which is a DYNAMIC MIC) for more than 20 years, both in live on-stage and various recording situations. I currently own 3 that are used by the 3 Vocalists in my performing band thru a mixing board, then out to the PA at shows...or when connected directly to our digital system for recording, and have NEVER USED OR NEEDED ‘phantom power’. My equipment does have it available, but only have to switch it on when using CONDENSER MICS. These do require a source of power because their internal capacitor needs it. So not sure why anyone would say that you do, but that is incorrect.
