Shure SM58 Professional XLR Dynamic Vocal Microphone – Cardioid Mic for Live Performance, Studio Recording, Podcasting & Broadcasting (SM58-LC)

Q: Feel free to laugh a bit and excuse my ignorance. I am starting voice lessons does this microphone only work with a computer? Or can I hook it up to something different? Ok no more laughing. Thank You

Your question suggests you're thinking of this mic for recording rather than performing. The SM58 is the most universal, ubiquitous, visible microphone because it's made to produce vocal sounds (musical or spoken) with faithfulness to the source while projecting that source sound at the highest amplitude without distortion. Moreover, the mic is made to stand up under the most rough-and-tumble physical abuse every week for many years on end (I've seen SM58's that are not only scarred by charred by fire--yet they're performing as though new out of the box). But that's not the sort of mic you would connect to a computer for recording, processing and editing. The Shure58 is a "dynamic" mic. Recording professionals favor the more delicate "condenser" microphone, such as the ATT2020 or the Blue Yeti--both adaptable to USB connectivity.

Q: How long is the cable that I can get with this mic?

When I ordered this mic it didn't come with a cable, as I expected. That's how it was advertised - mic only. I knew it was a decent mic because I've owned Shure mics in the past and it is a very reputable company who makes reliable products. If you want a cheap (but good) alternative, check musiciansfriend.com I got a bunch of mics with cables and stands for $20 each and I honestly can't tell the difference in sound quality between those and my $65 Shure mic.

Q: Can i use this to connect xvive u3 wireless system?

Yes the wireless xvive u3 will work with this microphone cause the microphone is xlr and the xvive u3 is xlr and you just need to plug them into your mic and device

Q: What amplifier or mixer [ $20- $50 ] should i buy which is compatible with sm58 ? need suggestion

I’ve been using mics of all types, including this one (SM58LC, which is a DYNAMIC MIC) for more than 20 years, both in live on-stage and various recording situations. I currently own 3 that are used by the 3 Vocalists in my performing band thru a mixing board, then out to the PA at shows...or when connected directly to our digital system for recording, and have NEVER USED OR NEEDED ‘phantom power’. My equipment does have it available, but only have to switch it on when using CONDENSER MICS. These do require a source of power because their internal capacitor needs it. So not sure why anyone would say that you do, but that is incorrect.

If you are struggling to love the sound of your voice, this is the perfect remedy!!

AMAZING. I know it’s expected with an industry standard, but wow I was not ready for the difference in sound when I upgraded. I’ve been using a very old shure pg58 for my hobby in recording music, and always thought I hated my own voice. Now I’m telling everyone I know that all along I’ve just hated my microphone, because I love how my voice sounds with this new one. The sound is clear and well balanced, and is especially conducive to a small apartment/lower budget setup like I have where things such as soundproofing aren’t as easily possible. This microphone truly is bringing out the best in my voice and I’m over the moon! I was a little worried about the legitimacy of this product coming from Amazon instead of the seller’s direct site, but this arrived in perfect condition.

Great Sound Quality, but the SHURE MV7+ USB-C is a Game Changer

I recently did bought the Shure SM58 Pro XLR Dynamic Microphone, and while it’s a fantastic mic with excellent sound quality, especially for vocals, I found myself drawn to the new SHURE MV7+ USB-C model. The SM58 has a classic, robust design and delivers clear, professional audio, but the MV7+ offers the convenience of USB-C, making it incredibly sleek and easy to use with both USB and XLR options. The MV7+ is perfect for those who want high-quality sound but with the added flexibility of modern connectivity, especially for podcasting or streaming. While the SM58 is still a great choice for stage performances or professional setups, the USB-C feature of the MV7+ makes it a more convenient and versatile option for those working from home or on the go. Both are great, but the MV7+ just edges out for practicality

Solid performer

Lives up to its name and reputation. Been using it at rehearsals and gigs for more than a year now and it’s still sounds and looks brand new. If you’re a gigging musician and need a solid mic , this is the one.
