    This is incredible. The SM58 is my favorite microphone and my daily driver. I absolutely love Michael's insights and stories. I could listen to hours more of what he knows about the 58's legacy. Great stuff!

      It’s a great mic. Even though it’s generic it’s still very impressive and does things right

    Really interesting to hear this history. My best friend passed away last year and among his effects are a Model 55, 545SD and and SM58. All of them in working order. Now I’ve got a really interesting collection of mic’s, and I know more of their history to boot.

    What a great history. I enjoyed this, have had my 58s since I started performing and they have taken a beating and still perform.

    There was a rumor that years ago, the SM58 was not being magnetized correctly. Supposedly, if you have one of the ones that was not fully magnetized, the magnet fades, which results in low output and possibly distortion. Does anyone know if this is true? I have two SM58s that easily distort. When they failed, originally only one of them distorted. Within about two months, the other one became distorted. Eventually we could no longer use them. I still have them, so I'm curious as to why they failed after about 3 years. (These mics are from the early 80s)

    Thank you so much! I am not persuaded to invest in Shire SM 58 because you presented the history, features and benefits of the the said microphone comprehensively. You did an excellent product presentation! You amazes me!

    Very well done! I have a question please. On a popular auction site, I saw a now closed auction for a vintage SM-58 microphone that has a reference to "Porsche logos". Can you please explain the reference if there is one.

    Sir, I want to do voice over. I want to buy Sure SM 58 mic. But a shopkeeper told me that you cannot do recording with dynamic mic. This is not for recording. Condenser mics are made for recording. Sir, what should i do ? Please tell te Truth

      Hi! You might want to check out the SM7B or MV7, both are dynamic microphones used for voiceovers or podcasting. Our support team can also provide other recommendations. You can reach them at shu.re/contact.

    I totally enjoyed this presentation. I learned that the 57 and 58 both use the same element. And OH MAN, that SM59 was Shure ugly!

    For a company that makes "legendary" microphones, audio quality in this video is really bad. You may try Neumann KSM 105. I will help, I promise.

    Sinatra is so bland. His music has turned into background music for shopping malls.
