The Shure PGA58-QTR Cardioid Dynamic Vocal Microphone with XLR-to-1/4" Cable is a professional-grade audio solution designed for vocalists seeking clarity and durability. Part of Shure’s PG Alta series, it draws inspiration from the iconic SM58, delivering natural vocal reproduction for live performances and studio recordings. Its dynamic moving-coil design and cardioid polar pattern capture sound primarily from the front, effectively rejecting unwanted noise from the sides and rear, making it ideal for noisy environments like concerts or band rehearsals.
With a frequency response of 50 to 16,000 Hz, the PGA58-QTR captures the full range of vocal tones, from deep lows to crisp highs, ensuring a balanced and authentic sound. The microphone boasts an output impedance of 150 Ω and a sensitivity of -55 dBV/Pa (1.79 mV) at 1 kHz, offering compatibility with a wide range of audio equipment and the ability to handle varying sound pressure levels. Its robust construction features a black metallic finish and grille, providing both an unobtrusive stage presence and resilience for demanding use.
The PGA58-QTR includes a convenient on/off switch, allowing performers to mute the microphone discreetly during breaks or spoken word segments. It comes equipped with a 15 ft (4.6 m) XLR-to-1/4" cable, enabling direct connection to quarter-inch inputs on amplifiers or mixers, a feature that enhances its versatility for setups without XLR ports. The package also includes a microphone clip, stand adapter, and carrying pouch, ensuring easy setup and portability.
Weighing 294 g (10.37 oz.), the microphone offers a solid, professional feel, while its operating temperature range of -20 to 165 °F (-29 to 74 °C) and humidity tolerance of 0 to 95% make it adaptable to diverse conditions. Whether for live gigs, studio sessions, or rehearsals, the Shure PGA58-QTR combines affordability with Shure’s renowned quality, making it an excellent choice for vocalists at any level.
