SM58-LC Dynamic Vocal Microphone
About the original
The Shure SM58 is a dynamic cardioid vocal microphone with a 50 Hz to 15 kHz frequency response, a built-in pneumatic shock mount, and an integrated spherical pop filter. Shure Brothers, founded in 1925 in Chicago, released the SM58 in 1966 and it remains the standard live-vocal microphone on touring and broadcast stages. The SM58-LC retails for around $99 through Shure and authorized dealers such as Sweetwater and Guitar Center. The FW20 Supreme collaboration used the same SM58 capsule and die-cast metal body hand-sprayed in red with a white Supreme logo, packaged with a 25-foot red XLR cable, microphone clip, and zipper pouch; it released October 1, 2020 at $258.
