Frequently Asked Questions

The SM58 is a legend, but the OMX-E offers a slightly more detailed and natural sound. Build quality is comparable – both are rugged, but the OMX-E feels a touch more refined.
While primarily a vocal mic, the OMX-E can handle instruments like acoustic guitar or snare drum in a pinch, though you'll get better results with a dedicated instrument mic.
It should, but you might need to boost the gain a bit more than with a more sensitive microphone. A decent preamp will definitely help bring out its full potential.
