Product Description

Shure Beta 58 A, Dynamic Vocal Microphone

In the tradition of the SM58, the dynamic Beta 58A has become the first choice among singers and professional sound engineers.

The Beta 58A is a dynamic, high-output vocals microphone designed for professional audio amplification and use in the recording studio. The supercardioid polar pattern extends over the entire transmission range and guarantees high, feedback resistant amplifications, maximum isolation from other sound sources and a minimum of off-axis sound. The contoured frequency response is ideal for close-up vocals.

Due to its robust construction, proven shock absorber system, and hardened steel windscreen, its outstanding performance is not compromised even with rough handling. Typical applications of the Beta 58A are lead vocals, backup vocals, and speech.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Beta 58A has a brighter, more detailed sound with increased output and a tighter bass response, whereas the SM58 is warmer and more forgiving.
It requires more careful mic placement than an omnidirectional pattern, but the feedback rejection is worth it if you're in a loud environment.
While primarily a vocal mic, it *can* be used on instruments, but its aggressive character might not be ideal for delicate sources – consider other Shure models for broader applications.
