Shure SM58-BLK Overview

A Workhorse for Center Stage, Now in Black
Classic, legendary, and presented here in an elegant black-tie version, the Shure SM58 Special Black Edition remains one of the most identifiable vocal microphones, relied on by live engineers, houses of worship, and singers throughout the world. This limited-edition model is sonically identical to the original, but is styled with a black body, black grille, and white Shure logo. It's built to sound great and live long, thanks to tour-worthy ruggedness and sensible appointments including internal shock absorption, a built-in pop filter, and a capsule that keeps stage noise at bay. Day after day, the SM58 earns its reputation on big stages, in home studios, and everywhere in between.
That Familiar Sound
With a midrange bump and a natural bass roll-off, the SM58 delivers a tone that's tailored for vocal clarity. Bring the mic up close for a full, warm, and bass-rich presence, or pull it back to get a more natural sound with reduced low frequencies and minimal "s" sounds.

Point the SM58 toward your source and away from unwanted sound; its cardioid polar pattern rejects much of what's behind it, significantly lowering the amount of stage bleed, monitor mix, or background noise that gets picked up by the mic.

Leave Handling Noise Behind
A pneumatic shockmount system in the SM58 absorbs vibrations to keep your sound clean and free of handling noise. This lets presenters and singers confidently hold the mic while speaking and performing, knowing that their voice is coming through prominently.

Built into the SM58 is a pop filter, which helps control wind and breath noise without requiring an external pop screen. Of course, external windscreens are available should you choose to accessorize your SM58.

On the Road Again
Enamel-coated metal construction and a steel-mesh grille make the SM58 highly resistant to wear, abuse, and the challenging conditions of live events.
Tech Notes
  • Dynamic capsule needs no phantom power
  • Balanced XLR 3-pin output jack for connection to a stage box, mic preamp, mixer, or audio interface
  • Break-resistant microphone clip rotates 180 degrees to ensure easy positioning
