Shure SM58 Cardioid Dynamic Vocal Microphone with 25' XLR Cable, Pneumatic Shock Mount, Spherical Mesh Grille with Built-in Pop Filter, A25D Mic Clip, Storage Bag, 3-pin XLR Connector (SM58-CN)

1. MFG Recommended by a Coworker; 2 Shure SM58s purchased: 1 good, 1 not so good2. Great microphone for the money3. Works well recording my saxophone4. Heavier than expected5. Should come with a microphone holder and adapter insert6. For a little extra green, you can get the 25' XLR cable7. Troubling experience with the last SM58 microphone (Mic head loose, no holder, insert, box was taped)Review/Opinion:Based on a coworker's opinion and my own research, I found this microphone and gave it a try for my instrument recordings. Being a third of what my coworker paid for his mic, not the SM58, is what attracted me in the beginning. I was looking at a SM57 initially until I found information stating that the SM58 could be a better device for saxophone recordings. I found a site that tested various microphones to see how the SM58 sounds. Based on that intel, affordability, and what my coworker thought about those tests, I jumped into the pool of microphone setup and purchased this mic with the XLR cable combo. I have been very happy with the recordings, both in a partial acoustic foamed environment and a fully foamed environment. Obviously, the fully foamed environment recordings are more clear and distinct. For both locations though, at an arm's length away, no clipping or distortion was experienced.The second microphone I purchased from a 3rd party:I have a similarly bad experience with an audio interface purchased through a 3rd party. i strongly suggest going through the mfr if possible. So he package was taped up, holder and insert missing, however, luckily, the XLR cable and microphone were still there! I did a mini-check on the cable and mic, which both seemed to be fine. I found later that the microphone head was loose!?! This microphone was in heavy bubble wrap when it came and the box was not damaged, but had two pieces of large white button-tape affixed. So far, this microphone has not been an issue for recording the sax and hopefully it will not be an issue in the future.Setup:The mic has an XLR port and hooks directly up to an XLR cable. In my setup, the XLR cable hooks into the audio interface, MXV2U which is power by the laptop/computer through a usb-c cable supplied by Shure's MXV2U. I am using Audacity as a DAW on a lightweight Linux OS. No issues have been experienced during my ~10 - 20 recordings.Ease of Use:Its a microphone with an XLR port. Hook it up, set it up where you need it, make sure it registers on the recording software, make some noise on a test recording, play it back and adjust the software where you want it. done. lol. As a note, I have experienced no issues with either mic, both sound great for my needs.Overall experience:This microphone MIGHT be a bit soft when it comes to speaking during sessions-- I have not experimented enough with placement yet. Research tends toward the mic being 6" to 12" away at max for normal voice recording, since I am more interested in the tonal quality of the instrument, but my voice does comes in a close second as i can learn from previous perceptions, mistakes, habits, or etc from any spoken portion or outburst, lol. Usually, the mic is about an arm's length away, which is a greater distance than recommendations. This can be corrected by either better placement or louder speech though.I suggest using the MFR, if possible, for any purchases due to experiences with one of these mics and one of the MXV2U audio interfaces have issues. The connectivity cannot be simpler, hook up the XLR cable, the sensitivity of the mic seems great, at least to my ear, it seems to pick up the instrument's sounds cleanly, it is affordable compared to other options, and I am happy overall with the purchase regardless of the oversight? of the 3rd party. Yep, five stars.

De los micrófonos que dan mejor calidad, fácil de instalar, buen tamaño de cable.

As a video creator I was never happy with my audio. I tried everything from very cheap to very expensive microphones and I tried wireless and different kinds. I have a friend who's setup a bunch of real radio stations and I never thought of asking him. One day he was in my little studio watching one of my videos and noticed my setup and said something is wrong with your audio. One thing led to another and he started fiddling with my stuff and adjusted everything but also told me I was using the wrong mic. It was then that he showed me this Shure SM58. He said many radio stations when starting out use these and later upgrade to the SM7B but that they were essentially the same microphone and that I would never know the difference once the EQ was setup.After two days of learning more about this microphone's history I decided to go ahead and order it. I also paired it with a cheap hundred dollar EQ here on Amazon. Not only has the price of both this microphone and EQ together been the cheapest I have ever spent compared to other mics but also the the best sounding one.The Shure SM58 is rugged and sturdy but not too heavy. I ordered the one with the cable and ordered the foam cover separately as they offer one or the other. Honestly that's the only frustrating thing, they could have just included a little two dollar foam cover with it. But with the price so low and quality so high, no one can complain.I saw so many microphone reviews and tried so many I can't believe I always overlooked this one because of how it looked; the type of mic a comedian carries around or WWF presenter in the 80s had, but I was mislead. It's now in the boom arm of my old mic and has a foam cover on it. It looks and sounds professional.On top of it all, the audio is so good and clean that the two hours I used to spend on trying to clean my sound in Premiere has been eliminated.A SOLID 5/5 for me!
