SHURE SM58-50A



  • Dynamic Vocal Microphone


Overview

*The SM58-50A marks the first time in 50 years that Shure has released a color variation of the SM58 to the public.

 Otherwise, the SM58-50A is the mic you know and trust: it's the industry-standard dynamic microphone tailored
 to deliver warm and clear vocal reproduction under extreme conditions.

*The legendary Shure SM58 Vocal Microphone is designed for professional vocal use in live performance, sound reinforcement,
 and studio recording. A highly effective, built-in spherical filter minimizes wind and breath "pop" noise.

* A unidirectional (cardioid) pickup pattern isolates the main sound source while minimizing unwanted background noise. 

*Rugged construction, a proven shock-mount system, and a steel mesh grille ensure that even with rough handling,
 the SM58 will perform consistently, outdoors or indoors.
