Shure Product Benefits

How It Works

Made to handle voice with clarity and care, the uniform cardioid polar pattern reproduces every note as it was intended. And it leaves background noise behind. On any stage — from the club show to the stadium — the SM58 delivers warm, crisp sound, time after time.

Why It’s Better

Roll with no shake or rattle

Handling noise gets absorbed by the pneumatic shock mount, keeping the sound free of vibration.

Screen out unwanted air

When wind and plosives try to take over, the spherical mesh grille and built-in pop filter keep them out of the mix.

Rugged for the road ahead

Taking the show on tour? The mic’s durable construction and the break-resistant stand adapter keep the SM58 going strong through the toughest performances.

  How Shure Developed the Vagabond “88” as its First Wireless Microphone

  Wireless microphone technology emerged in the 1940s, with early commercial uses documented in 1947 and 1951. Shure pioneered the first practical wireless microphone system in 1953 with the Vagabond “88,” a handheld transmitter operating in the 2 MHz band, marketed as offering freedom of movement without cables or licenses. Despite its innovative design, the Vagabond faced limitations such as short range, fragile vacuum tubes, and high cost, leading to its discontinuation around 1960. Modern wireless systems, like Shure Axient Digital introduced in 2017, build on these early concepts with advanced digital technology, frequency agility, and superior reliability for professional audio applications.Read Article
