MODEL SM58 UNIDIRECTIONAL DYNAMIC MICROPHONE OVERVIEW The Shure SM58 is a unidirectional (cardioid) dynamic vocal microphone designed for professonal vocal use in sound rein- forcement and studio recording. A highly effective, built-in, spherical filter minimizes wind and breath “pop” noise. A cardioid pickup pattern isolates the main sound source while minimizing unwanted background noise. The SM58 has a tailored vocal re- sponse for a sound which is a world standard. Rugged construc- tion, a proven shock mount system, and a steel mesh grille en- sure that even with rough handling, the SM58 will perform con- sistently. Outdoors or indoors, singing or speech—the SM58 is the overwhelming choice of professionals worldwide.

MODEL SM58

UNIDIRECTIONAL DYNAMIC MICROPHONE

OVERVIEWThe Shure SM58 is a unidirectional (cardioid) dynamic vocal

microphone designed for professonal vocal use in sound rein-forcement and studio recording. A highly effective, built-in,spherical filter minimizes wind and breath “pop” noise. A cardioidpickup pattern isolates the main sound source while minimizingunwanted background noise. The SM58 has a tailored vocal re-

sponse for a sound which is a world standard. Rugged construc-tion, a proven shock mount system, and a steel mesh grille en-sure that even with rough handling, the SM58 will perform con-sistently. Outdoors or indoors, singing or speech—the SM58 isthe overwhelming choice of professionals worldwide.

FEATURES� Frequency response tailored for vocals, with brightened

midrange and bass rolloff� Uniform cardioid pickup pattern isolates the main sound

source and minimizes background noise� Pneumatic shock-mount system cuts down handling noise� Effective, built-in spherical wind and pop filter
