In addition there are lots of videos showing just how tough an SM58 is. Try searching for ‘Shure drop test’ on youtube for even more videos of an SM58 being shot, dropped… [Read More]

Shure Tech Tip: Instrument Mic, Vocal Mic, or Both?
Courtesy of Michael Pettersen, Shure’s Director of Applications Engineering Are there microphones that will only pick up musical instruments and will reject voices? How about the reverse? If we consider the basic function of a microphone, we discover that the answer to both questions is “No.” A microphone senses the movement of air and then converts that air movement into an equivalent electrical signal.
