Industry-Standard Vocal Sound

Experience the world-renowned sound that has defined live vocals for generations. The SM58 features a frequency response tailored for vocal clarity, with a brightened midrange and bass roll-off to control proximity effect. This ensures your voice cuts through the mix with presence and power, whether singing or speaking.

Legendary Road-Worthy Durability

Engineered for extreme reliability, the SM58 is built to survive the demands of live performance and touring. Its rugged metal construction, dent-resistant steel mesh grille, and proven internal shock-mount system protect the microphone capsule from drops, impact, and handling noise. This is the microphone you can depend on, show after show.

Focused Cardioid Pickup Pattern

Achieve maximum gain before feedback and excellent isolation from unwanted sound. The SM58's uniform cardioid pickup pattern focuses on the sound source directly in front of it while rejecting off-axis noise. This is critical for loud stage environments, allowing vocals to be heard clearly without picking up instrument bleed or monitor wash.

No, the Shure SM58-LC is a wired microphone. It connects to a mixing console, audio interface, or PA system using a standard 3-pin XLR cable, which is sold separately.

No, as a dynamic microphone, the SM58 does not need phantom power to operate. You can plug it into any standard microphone input on your audio gear.

The SM58-LC package includes the microphone itself, a break-resistant swivel stand adapter (mic clip), and a zippered storage pouch for protection. The 'LC' designation means 'Less Cable', so an XLR cable is not included.

The SM58 is the global standard for live lead and backing vocals. It is also an excellent and durable choice for public speaking, houses of worship, podcasting, and studio recording sessions where a robust dynamic mic is preferred.

The SM58 is designed to combat feedback. Its cardioid polar pattern is very effective at rejecting sound from the sides and rear, focusing only on the vocalist. This allows sound engineers to achieve higher volume levels before feedback occurs.
