The Shure SM58® unidirectional (cardioid) dynamic vocal microphone is designed for professional vocal use in live performance, sound reinforcement, and studio recording.

Rugged construction, a proven shock-mount system, and a steel mesh grille ensure that even with rough handling, the SM58 will perform consistently, outdoors or indoors.

Recognizing the 40th anniversary of the legendary SM58, the limited edition of the industry standard vocal microphone features an engraved anniversary logo and a FREE Shure Watch.
