Product Application

The SM58 is ideal for close-up vocals and can be held in the hand or mounted on a stand. Some of the most common applications and placement techniques are listed in the following table. Keep in mind that microphone technique is largely a matter of personal taste? there is no one ? correct? microphone position.

APPLICATION SUGGESTED MICROPHONE PLACEMENT TONE QUALITY
Lead & BackupVocals Lips less than 150 mm (6 in.)away or touching the windscreen, on axis to microphone. Robust sound, emphasized bass, maximum isolation from other sources.
Speech 150 mm (6 in.) to .6 m (2 ft) away from mouth, just above nose height. Natural sound, reduced bass.
200 mm (8 in.) to .6 m (2 ft) away from mouth, slightly off to one side. Natural sound, reduced bass and minimal ? s? sounds.
1 m (3 ft) to 2 m (6 ft) away. Thinner; distant sound; ambience.
STAGE MONITOR & P.A. LOUDSPEAKER PLACEMENT

Place the stage monitor directly behind the microphone (see Figure 1). Locate the P.A. loudspeakers so that they point away from the rear of the microphone. With the speakers located in these positions, the possibility of feedback is greatly reduced. Always check the stage setup before a performance to ensure optimum placement of microphone and monitors

.

  1. Aim the microphone toward the desired sound source and away from unwanted sources.
  2. Locate the microphone as close as practical to the desired sound source.

  6. Use as few microphones as practical.
  7. Place microphones far from sound-reflecting surfaces.
  8. Add a windscreen when using the microphone outdoors, for closeup speech, or vocals.

This is the standard in the industry - some of the newer mics sound better, but none will outlast the sm58 in the durability department - Customer Comment Received September 25, 2008
 
Wow- The folks at the rest home can hear me now!
 
A good solid microphone for a fair price. We not using it as our lead vocal mic, but for all of the background vocals they're great.
