Shure SM58S & SM57-LC Mics, Stands, and Cables Kit

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.

The cable offered in this bundle features standard 3-pin XLR connectors, which are commonly used in professional audio, video, and stage lighting equipment. While there are numerous online resources explaining its wiring and function in greater detail, suffice it to say that for a simple PA setup (wired/wireless mics, speakers, and a mixer setup) there are limited cable types you would encounter and they would be relatively easy to tell apart from one another. I would encourage you to call/livechat with one of B&H's Pro Audio team associates so they can further guide you in selecting the optimal solution for your church. They can ensure you have all parts/cables needed for the job, and aid in explaining how your system should be wired to ensure proper functionality.

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).

Early/Mid November '15, I ordered this kit. Each kit unit (B&H # SHSM58SK4) then did include (and I did receive) the Auray MS-5230F Tripod Microphone Stand with Fixed Boom (B&H # AUMS5230F, MFR # MS-5230F).Inquiring today (1 March 2016), I was informed you should receive the Ultimate Support JS-MCFB100 Tripod Mic Stand with Fixed Boom (B&H # ULJSMCFB100, MFR # 16791). The Auray stand is currently back-ordered, expected available later this month. Even then, review the (desktop) Specs / (mobile) In the Box segment, and confirm items in question in the order as you place it.

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.

Emil B is correct.
