Shure SM58-LC Cardioid Dynamic Microphone

The Shure SM58-LC is a dynamic microphone with a cardioid pickup pattern that is widely chosen for live vocals, speech, and studio sessions. It focuses on sound coming from the front, so the singer or speaker stands out while crowd noise, stage bleed, and room reflections stay in the background.

Inside the grille, an internal filter controls wind and plosive bursts, while a built-in pneumatic shockmount limits handling noise if the mic is moved or transferred between stands. The voice-focused frequency response spans 50 Hz to 15 kHz, giving enough low-end warmth and mid-range presence for clear, natural vocals. Connection is straightforward through a balanced three-pin XLR output, and the SM58-LC works without any external power, making it easy to plug into mixers, audio interfaces, and PA systems.

A metal chassis and steel mesh grille resist the bumps that can happen on tour, in rehearsal rooms, or at weekly services. Use it for lead or backing vocals, spoken word events, mobile DJ setups, podcast introductions, or any application where a dependable handheld mic needs to deliver consistent, voice-first sound.
