Shure Beta 58A Supercardioid Dynamic Vocal Microphone

Overview

Big sound. Full sound. Sophisticated sound. Is your mic living up to the power of your vocal? For decades, the BETA 58A has been through the wringer, pushing voice to the forefront on the biggest stages in the world. For sound that commands the attention of the entire crowd, this is your microphone.

The Shure BETA 58A® is a high-output supercardioid dynamic vocal microphone designed for professional sound reinforcement and project studio recording. It has become a leading choice among vocalists and touring professionals worldwide.

The Beta 58A maintains a true supercardioid pattern throughout its frequency range. The Beta 58A has a shaped frequency response that is ideal for close-up vocals. The superb performance of this microphone is not affected by rough handling because of its rugged construction, proven shock mount system, and hardened steel mesh grille.

How It Works

On stage or in the studio, the BETA 58A is made for refined voice. The brightened midrange and bass roll-off give lead and background vocals a mighty presence in the mix. And the supercardioid pattern works harder to isolate your sound from every other source in the air. You could say it’s a singer’s best friend.

Why It’s Better

• No worse for wear: The hardened steel mesh grille stands up to some of the roughest sweat drips, mic drops and van rides, without so much as a dent to show for it.
• Out-louds the noise: The neodymium magnet provides higher output levels, so your sound is clear – and everything else stays in the background.
• A worldwide star: The BETA 58A is a top-selling, single-element, dynamic microphone, and can be seen every night on stages all around the globe.
