Shure SM58 - A Legend That Endures!

Thanks to its distinctive sound, powerful presence, high feedback rejection and Shure's trademark reliability, the SM58 has been the number one choice on live stages around the world for decades. Music trends and bands come and go — each generation rediscovers the SM58.

Who Is the SM58 Right For?

The SM58 suits both the demanding beginner and the pro. It's used on stages of all sizes — from club gigs to large open-air festivals. This extremely rugged mic has delivered reliable performance on stage and in the studio for over 40 years.

Why Is the SM58 So Popular?

Part of its appeal is the unique sound: exceptionally punchy and clear. The frequency response is tuned so the voice cuts through the band mix without EQ tweaks at the desk. Its consistent cardioid pattern isolates it well from background noise and makes it feedback-resistant even on loud stages. Equally important is its extraordinary durability: an SM58 will take almost anything and withstand the toughest stage use.

How Did the SM58 Become a Legend?

Introduced in 1966, the SM58 quickly became the global standard for vocal microphones. More than 40 years later it remains the best-selling professional vocal mic. Chances are every sound engineer and musician has worked with an SM58 at some point.

Also Suitable for Studio or Home Recording?

The SM58 isn't only a stage mic — many professional studio albums have featured vocals recorded with an SM58. For home recording on PC or Mac we recommend the SM58+X2u Digital Bundle.

SM58LC, SM58LCE, SM58S?

The exact model sold in Europe is the SM58LCE (Less Cable Europe). "Europe" indicates that the 5/8" to 3/8" threaded adapter for mic stands is included. The SM58LC version (without the threaded adapter) is not available in Europe. Often the "E" in the model name is simply omitted.
The SM58SE features an on/off switch and also includes the 5/8" to 3/8" threaded adapter.
