I’ve always carried my own mics and cables. Shure mics: SM-57 to mic my amp, SM-58 for my vocals. It’s worked for me for 40+ years. 😎🤘
Thank you ... This is the best comparison I have seen I am going with the SM58s
55 just for looks
55 not for perfomance these days. Only looks
Great info! Nice comparison. Thank you for that.
Great video! Learned a lot!
awesome vid bud, very useful breakdown
GAK, You're the best! I subscribed because I love your content!
Thanks for this comparison!
FYI most sound techs hate microphones with switches ( I think I can broadly say that ) mostly because they get yelled at "why isn't my microphone working" when individual or previous individual has turned it off.
But there are places for switched microphones.
Great overview!
Audio test starts from 9:31
I use a HEIL PR20 and I own several of them. The HEIL FIN is an Awesome choice as is the HEIL PR22.I own all of them and a SHURE SUPER 55.👍🎙👏
I suppose this works if you are a big fanboy of Shure. I like to look at/listen to mics from a wide variety of makers.
One question, I have one condenser mic but I would love to record vocals with a live microphone? Is this used? I would master the vocals afterwards anyway. Its just when I sing I dont like to fix my body and head in a certain position and I like to move around a little bit. It gives a whole different vibe to my expression. Im talking for rap vocals.
When he says the Beta58 A is a "little" more expensive he means that it costs a little more than double than the sm58 xD. Jokes aside, awesome video and thank you for sharing.
the link of the quiz is not working
Did the Super 55 loss so many gain compare to SM58?
I understand that the SM mics and Beta mics have to be handled differently. With an SM58 could can use the side of the mic to get less volume and more bass. And you can vary the distance to avoid peaking on the high notes. I understand that on a BETA these techniques won't work because of the pattern.
Yip. With any Supercardioid mic you have to keep in line with the grille. If you're a singer who moves his head all over the place without keeping the mic within your movements - or what you said - a cardioid mic is much better for you for....Shure (I know. Terrible, but I couldn't resist. I really tried LOL).
I would buy a Sontronics Solo. Test it and u will lay the shure mics beside.
I am surprised the Sennheiser e835 did not get the cut
Thanks for posting. I've watched a lot of videos on the topic of best mic for vocals, but haven't found an answer... I am looking for recommendations for the best mics to amplify a small vocal group of about 10 people for live performances where we have a 4-channel mixer so we can't, and in deed don't want to mic each singer individually; what would be the best mics for this application? Cheers, Paul.
The HEIL PR20 is great for vocals and instruments.👍🎙

SM-57 and ART valve preamp
Sennheiser 935
Sennheiser, AKG, SE and Audix are way ahead of Shure it when it comes to audio quality (dynamic range). Like...For the past 30 years :)
Bit of an unpopular opinion but I’m not a fan of the 58. There are some venues where you won’t be able to hear any of the singers. When the venue doesn’t have someone at the mixer that knows how to EQ or mix, the 58 often gets buried in the mix between being so gain hungry and having a generally muddy EQ curve. I’ve started bringing a Sennheiser e935 to all the shows I perform and ever since that problem has largely disappeared for me. It’s hotter, it’s got more top end, it helps my voice cut through more where the sm58 always buried me (and like 80% of the other bands singers)
SM58? I used to use mine as a hammer
I look at my Microphone like a guitarist would look at his guitar. I would never want to use somebody else's instrument.
Well there's your problem "musician" find a sound tech who doesn't like a shure that's far easier.
Although I do believe they are a decent microphone I think there is a lot of hype attached to name brands a.k.a. Nike etc which even though it is good becomes biased.
That said I'm fine with using your microphone as long as it's decent and you're not a snob about it. With that said I sanitize my microphones after every gig and I've taken extra precautions by using foam covers that can be swapped out if need be.
shure Sm 58 vs shure ksm8 😍
The HEIL PR20 is better than both.👍🎙
i never really enjoyed shures mics except for the SM57 and SM58. i think the SM7B is an overpriced mic especially when you need a CloudLifter to use it. and i think when you buy a shure mic you buy the brand and not a good sounding mic, the Pyle PDMIC58 is one of the best SM58 clones and only for roughly $20.
from discrption i watched only to hear the ksm series, but not even featured, wasted my time.
Just say Shure sm58. The end
😎🤙
I Sold my SM-58 and replaced it with the HEIL PR20 & I will never go back.
