General
The Shure SM 58 dynamic vocal microphone is designed for professional use. It is therefore extremely suitable for on stage and in the studio. Due to the high quality components, the wide frequency range and a sturdy housing, this microphone can be used all-round. It is not for nothing that it is one of the most used microphones. With the release of this microphone, Shure set a new standard in the professional audio world.
Shure SM58: Spherical filter
An effective, built-in spherical filter reduces breathing and wind noise, while the sturdy construction ensures that the microphone can be used for a long time and can also be used in, for example, the rental sector. This microphone also features integrated shock absorption to prevent handling noise. This microphone is simply the standard for vocals and speech!
Version without on/off switch
The difference between the SM58 and the SM58SE is the on/off switch on the microphone, and whether or not you need the switch mainly depends on the use. An advantage is of course that the artist on stage or anywhere else has control over the sound that is passed through, but there is also a disadvantage. Artists are people too, of course, and people have a tendency to touch everything, especially if there is also a bit of nerves involved! If this happens when the artist in question is on stage, the sound is suddenly gone because the microphone is suddenly off. It's bound to happen, which is why Shure offers two versions.
