Shure SM58S Mic, Stand, and Cable Kit

The 3 prong connectors are called XLR inputs. XLR inputs on most analog and digital mixers are universal. Sometimes in broadcast situations working with video or IFB systems they have different kind of XLR inputs that usually have more than 3 pins. The Shure SM58 is one of the most commonly used microphones ever. Chances are that if the mixer in your church has 3 pins, it will work with this mic and many other microphones like it.

Yes, the SM58S comes with a nice black soft pouch with a zipper on top. The pouch is 9.5" x 4" and fits the mic comfortably.

Yes, the microphone stand adapter is included with the Shure SM58S Mic, Stand, and Cable Kit.

Rather than getting an adapter, you may want to use an XLR to 1/4" cable instead, such as the Audio-Technica AT-8311 1/4" T/S Male to 3-pin XLR Female Microphone Cable - 25' (B&H # AUAT831125). That would be the easiest solution. If you do prefer using an adapter instead, you could use the Shure A85F - Low to High Impedance Microphone Matching Transformer - In-Line XLR Female to 1/4" Male (B&H # SHA85F) or Hosa Technology MIT-435 Impedance Transformer - Low-Z Female XLR to Hi-Z Male 1/4" Phone Jack (B&H # HOMIT435).

Both the SM57 and SM58 are both dynamic microphones with a cardioid pickup pattern designed to isolate the main sound source and minimize background noise. Both are more sensitive to sound coming from in front of the mic and less sensitive to sound from the sides, while ignoring sound coming from the back. Both mics work equally well in loud environments and can be used for recording interviews outdoors. If you do decide to purchase this kit, do some test recordings to see which mic complements your subject's voice best.

Emil B is correct.

It should say in the specs tab (under the image), but I believe it's 20 feet. We bought an additional 25-foot XLR cable in addition to this kit. Used it in conjunction with a PressMite mult box and were told by TV cameramen that it was excellent sound.
