Legendary microphone quality!
When gear-savvy musicians talk microphones, Shure is bound to be mentioned among
the best and brightest. No mic locker is complete without a healthy dose of
Shure's legendary quality and performance. Their Performance Gear series is the
perfect introduction to one of the best microphone manufacturers on the planet.
Engineered for vocal performance
All Performance Gear microphones are engineered for specific applications, both
on stage and in the studio. While other mics in the series are designed for
instrument use, the Shure PG58 is frequency-tailored to bring clarity and
presence to vocal tracks. The frequency response from 60-15,000 Hz is wide
enough to handle any voice, from the lowest bass to the highest soprano.
Low-frequency rolloff with carefully boosted midrange help both background- and
lead-vocals cut through the instrument mix to provide a central point of focus
for your songs. If the singer is too far in front, it sounds like a karaoke
performance, but if they are sitting too deep into the instrument tracks, the
impact of the lyrics is lost. The PG58 lets you find the perfect balance,
effectively communicating your message and keeping the audience engaged.
Cardioid pickup pattern
In a live-performance setting, the lead singer tends to move around the stage
quite a bit. With all the sound coming up from the backline instruments, stage
monitors, and the mains, feedback through the vocal mic can be difficult to deal
with. Fortunately, the Shure PG58 uses a cardioid pickup pattern to prevent
off-axis sounds from entering the mic capsule. Your singer is free to roam
wherever they like without worrying about creating a feedback loop. In the
studio, this narrow pickup range is great for isolating audio to individual
tracks. If the drums are bleeding into the vocals, it can be difficult to boost
the singer's level without having too much of the drums in the mix. The cardioid
pattern keeps the drums out, making it easy to adjust the vocals while the
instrument levels remain unchanged. You'll definitely appreciate this added
control as your mixes get tighter and clearer. The integrated on/off switch also
prevents feedback and track-bleed when the mic is not in use.
Rugged construction
This mic is built to take heavy road abuse and still perform to perfection at
every stop on the tour. The rugged metal housing and steel mesh grille protect
the internal components from damage, no matter how crazy things get up on stage.
An internal shockmount system limits handling noise caused by moving the
microphone or adjusting the mic stand, and Shure's integrated filter reduces
vocal pops and breath noise before they can ruin a recorded track. The mic
capsule contains a neodymium magnet for boosted signal levels, plus a beefy coil
to handle Sound Pressure Levels (SPL) up to 94 dB without distortion. You can
check the Shure PG58 off your list of things to worry about and spend your time
tightening up your set.
The drop test
For further proof of the Shure PG58 rock-solid construction, it passed
Shure's famed drop test. Just like the popular SM series, Performance Gear
models are dropped ten times from ten feet high with no noticeable performance
problems. Bottom line, the mic is ready to deliver quality vocals whenever
you're ready to make music. Indoors or outdoors -- it makes no difference. Your
Shure PG58 provides proper operation at a temperature range of -20 to 135
degrees Fahrenheit, and at a relative humidity of 0 to 95 percent. Book a gig
anywhere on the planet and your mic will be there to back you up.
Accessories
The package includes a break-resistant mic clip, soft zipper storage pouch, and
a 15-foot XLR to XLR cable.
