Frequently Asked Questions
The SM58 is a more established standard with a warmer, more rounded sound; the MP-60 is brighter and slightly less forgiving on vocals.
While technically possible, the high impedance will likely result in a weak and unbalanced signal; a preamp is highly recommended for optimal performance.
The included clamp is functional but basic; investing in a higher-quality, locking clamp is a good idea for reliability on stage.
