Detailed Description SM58
SM58 is a Shure SM dynamic microphone for live vocal reinforcement and recording. Its cardioid pickup pattern focuses on the intended source, with a published frequency response of 50 Hz–15 kHz. The microphone is passive and does not require phantom power.
The tailored vocal response, internal shock isolation and protective grille address close-up stage use. The spherical mesh grille and built-in filter reduce breath and wind noise during handheld use.
A balanced three-pin XLR output connects to a suitable microphone preamp or mixer. Placement and distance remain central to tone and rejection. The table below keeps output impedance, open-circuit sensitivity and weight distinct from maximum SPL or preamp-gain claims that are not specified for every model. Consult the manufacturer guide for positioning and accessory information.
