Shure SM58-LC
The Shure SM58-LC is a legendary cardioid dynamic vocal microphone renowned for its exceptional sound quality and rugged durability. Ideal for live performances, studio recordings, and public address applications, the SM58-LC delivers clear and natural vocals, even in challenging environments. Its built-in spherical filter minimizes wind and breath "pop" noise, while the cardioid pickup pattern isolates the main sound source and reduces background noise.

Classic, legendary, and in demand, the Shure SM58 remains one of the most identifiable vocal microphones, relied on by live engineers, houses of worship, and singers throughout the world. It's built to sound great and live long, thanks to tour-worthy ruggedness and sensible appointments including internal shock absorption, a built-in pop filter, and a capsule that keeps stage noise at bay. Day after day, the SM58 earns its reputation on big stages, in home studios, and everywhere in between.
With a midrange bump and a natural bass roll-off, the SM58 delivers a tone that's tailored for vocal clarity. Bring the mic up close for a full, warm, and bass-rich presence, or pull it back to get a more natural sound with reduced low frequencies and minimal "s" sounds.
Point the SM58 toward your source and away from unwanted sound; its cardioid polar pattern rejects much of what's behind it, significantly lowering the amount of stage bleed, monitor mix, or background noise that gets picked up by the mic.
Leave Handling Noise Behind
A pneumatic shockmount system in the SM58 absorbs vibrations to keep your sound clean and free of handling noise. This lets presenters and singers confidently hold the mic while speaking and performing, knowing that their voice is coming through prominently.
Built into the SM58 is a pop filter, which helps control wind and breath noise without requiring an external pop screen. Of course, external windscreens are available should you choose to accessorize your SM58.
On the Road Again
Enamel-coated metal construction and a steel-mesh grille make the SM58 highly resistant to wear, abuse, and the challenging conditions of live events.
