Shure BETA 58A

Product Description

The Shure BETA 58A is a dynamic vocal microphone built for stage and studio, with a bright midrange and controlled bass response that keeps the sound clear even up close. The supercardioid pickup pattern gives high gain before feedback and superior rejection of off-axis sound – a reliable workhorse for lead and backing vocals.

• Supercardioid pattern for high gain before feedback
• Neodymium magnet for a high signal-to-noise ratio
• Hardened steel mesh grille withstands rough handling
• Pneumatic shock mount reduces handling noise and vibration
• Frequency response tailored for vocals with controlled proximity effect

Sound and feel

Compared with the legendary SM58, the BETA 58A has higher sensitivity and a more pronounced high-end response, giving a cleaner and more detailed sound. Its supercardioid pattern (versus the SM58's cardioid) offers greater rejection of unwanted sound and better resistance to feedback – useful on loud stages and in busy mixes.

Build

The hardened steel mesh grille withstands sweaty gigs, floor drops and van packing without denting. The pneumatic shock mount dampens mechanical noise and shocks from handling, and the mic is minimally affected by varying load impedance in the signal chain.

Who it's for

Suits vocalists who want more presence and detail than a standard SM58, on stage or in the studio, for lead or backing vocals.
