The Shure SM58 is a dynamic cardioid microphone designed specifically for vocal performance and voice capture. Its frequency response is tailored to emphasise vocal presence, with a controlled midrange lift and bass roll off intended to improve clarity and intelligibility.
The uniform cardioid pickup pattern isolates the main sound source while reducing background noise and off axis pickup. A built in pneumatic shock mount system reduces handling noise, while the spherical steel mesh grille incorporates an internal wind and pop filter to control plosives and breath noise.
The microphone is constructed with a die cast metal body and hardened grille, intended to withstand sustained professional use in demanding environments. The Shure SM58 remains in continuous production and is supplied with a break resistant stand adapter.
