The Shure SM58-CN is a legendary unidirectional (cardioid) dynamic vocal microphone, celebrated for its exceptional sound quality, durability, and versatility. Engineered for professional use in live performances, sound reinforcement, and studio recording, it has been an industry standard since 1966. Its tailored frequency response (50 Hz to 15,000 Hz) enhances vocal clarity with a brightened midrange and controlled bass roll-off, minimizing proximity effect and low-frequency noise. The uniform cardioid pickup pattern isolates the voice while rejecting background noise and feedback, making it ideal for noisy stage environments.
Built for the road, the SM58-CN features a rugged enamel-coated metal body and a steel mesh grille that resists damage. An internal pneumatic shock-mount system reduces handling noise, while the integrated spherical pop filter eliminates breath and wind noise, ensuring clean audio without external accessories. The microphone handles high sound pressure levels effortlessly, perfect for both soft singers and powerful vocalists.
The "CN" model includes a 25-foot XLR-to-XLR cable for instant connectivity to mixers or PA systems, a break-resistant A25D mic clip for secure stand mounting, and a zippered pouch for storage. With a 150-ohm impedance and no need for phantom power, it pairs seamlessly with a wide range of audio equipment. Weighing 298 grams and measuring 162 mm long, it’s portable yet sturdy.
From small venues to global stages, the SM58-CN delivers warm, crisp sound for singers, speakers, podcasters, and engineers. Its iconic status—trusted by rock stars, comedians, and world leaders—stems from its unbeatable combination of performance, reliability, and value.
