In 1966, Shure introduced a new microphone standard, the SM58. The SM58 is the favorite mic of many musicians for live performances. Roger Daltrey of The Who famously swings his SM58, and Patti Smith speaks the truth into her SM58. In fact, Run DMC, Billy Joal, Kurt Cobain, and countless others can be seen with this classic on stage. Shure has released the SM58 Special Edition Black. I guess they must have listened to Mick Jagger and painted it black.

Ubiquitous for a Reason

All kinds of people love the SM58, not just stadium-filling bands. If you have ever picked up a microphone, you’ve likely held an SM58. Shure built the SM58 tough. Likewise, it easily handles feedback and has a built-in pop filter to eliminate plosives.

Paint it Black

The Shure Shure SM58 Special Edition Black is available for a limited time and boasts all the amazing performance of the classic SM58. For example, It has a frequency response ideal for vocals, a uniform cardioid pickup pattern, and a built-in spherical wind and pop filter, not to mention the legendary Pneumatic shock-mount system. The Special Edition Black is designed to be handheld with virtually no handling noise.

Not Just for the Stage

The SM58, and now the SM58 Special Edition Black, are ideal for live performance. Don’t forget that the brightened midrange and bass rolloff make the SM58 Special Edition Black a brilliant Microphone in the studio as well. Shure has a legacy of creating powerful tools for musicians of all levels, and the Shure SM58 Special Edition Black fits right in line with the legends that came before it.
