Takes Some Practice

by Danny from Honolulu, HI
January 30, 2013
Music Background: Gigging Musician, Singer, Producer
This mic was hard to get used to. Bought it after losing the trusty old SM58 at a gig, decided to upgrade. This mic is way more sensitive to movement than the SM58, so much so that it took me almost a... read more [+] week of practice to get used to. If you close your eyes and sing into an SM, you can move around a little without the sound being affected much. With this mic, you need to keep that grill right in one spot and only pull back slightly, or else the level will drop. But the result? AMAZING feedback rejection. I've laid down scratch vocal tracks in the studio control room with monitors blaring 2 feet away from my face, and the leakage was almost inaudible on the playback. I highly recommend this mic for experienced singers who perform on loud stages. Pack it with you, if there's feedback, switch out the mic, plug this in. close [-]

Excellent microphone.
I've tried several different models and the Shure Beta 58A has the lowest feedback and clearest sound of them all!

The best performance mic there is

by Nick Frese from United States

Music Background: Working Musician
Before purchasing my Beta 58A, I had a Blue enCore 200. It was a decent mic, but a wire came loose inside and I had to borrow the drummer's 58A while it was being fixed. Well, it was like the part in ... read more [+]the Wizard of Oz when it goes from black and white to color. We're talking crisp, clear high end punch that cuts through the mix like a sharp blade. Further, the mic seems to be much more durable, too, and it is considerably lighter as well. I couldn't be happier with this microphone, and I would highly recommend it to any working musician who lives for vocals. close [-]

Shure BETA SM58A - Great Mic

by Gary from USA

I've used the Shure SM58 for years and always felt it did a good job. Our drummer has been telling me to try the BETA SM58A, so I recently purchased one from Sweetwater.
Just a great mic. Out p... read more [+]erformed the SM58 in everyway. Our sound man said he turned my volume down 1/3 and I felt it was so much easier to sing. It may sound strange, but I didn't use nearly the effort that I used before to hit those hard for me to reach notes.
If you're like me and want the best quality you can get on a modest budget, then spend the money on this mic. It's well worth it. close [-]
