Probably the most famous mic on the planet, the Shure SM58 has been the first choice for live vocals for years. Being virtually indestructable, it is also a popular choice with schools and colleges. As well as live vocals, the SM58 can be used in the studio for close mic'ing high SPL sources. On stage, a high front-to-back ratio helps keep feedback at bay when on-stage monitors are used.
Here's what Shure say about the SM58
The Shure SM58 unidirectional (cardioid) dynamic vocal microphone is designed for professional vocal use in live performance, sound reinforcement, and studio recording. It has a tailored vocal response for a sound which is a world standard for singing or speech. A highly effective, built-in spherical filter minimizes wind and breath "pop" noise. A cardioid pickup pattern isolates the main sound source while minimizing unwanted background noise. Rugged construction, a proven shock-mount system, and a steel mesh grille ensure that even with rough handling, the SM58 will perform consistently, outdoors or indoors.
