SHURE SM58S Frequently Asked Questions FAQ
Q: What is the difference between the SHURE SM58S dynamic microphone and the SM58-LC without a switch?
A: The main difference is that the SM58S model has a built-in On/Off switch, allowing performers to easily mute the microphone on stage. All other acoustic performance and structural aspects are identical.
Q: For a beginner buying their first microphone, should I choose the SM58S or the SM57?
A: If the primary use is vocals, the SM58S's spherical grille effectively reduces plosives. If the main use is recording instruments (like guitar amps), the SM57's flat-top design is better suited for close-miking.
Q: Is the SM58S suitable for recording, or only for live performances?
A: Both. The SM58S was originally designed for live performances, but its warm, clear sound quality and durability also make it a popular choice for recording vocals or instruments in many studios.
Q: Does the SM58S require phantom power?
A: No. The SM58S is a dynamic microphone and operates without any external power. It can be connected directly to a mixer or audio interface's microphone input.
