Beta58 has an extended high frequency response, it's high mids / low highs ('presence') are a little faint, but can be easily EQed in, as it takes EQ very well. The SM58 is the world’s most popular microphone; built to last and designed for vocals the Shure SM58SE featuring an on/off switch will serve you for years to come. World’s Most Popular Dynamic Microphone Amazing Shure Build Quality Beta58 has a significantly higher output level at similar SPL - if you are working with less expensive preamps this can be a big advantage. With the SM58, it depends a lot on the preamp used if you get pro level results or not. You can be confident of its durability - Shure tried freezing it, cooking it, and submerging it. They even dropped it from a 7-story building and it still worked! Once you know that, you understand why The Rolling Stones take the SM58 on tour.

Sound & quality

There are numerous design features that have lead to the SM58 being the world’s most popular microphone and such a legendary piece of equipment. Shure SM58s has a durable build. Whatever you do with it, it is very unlikely to break. You shouldn’t try using it as a hammer, as has been suggested by some… but it is certainly strong enough to survive a dozen of drops and more. Don’t get too excited though. Most recent dynamic mics won’t fall in pieces either, as all of them have a very simple construction. In case with SM58s, it is just a capsule wrapped in ball-like screen, which by the way acts as an effective pop filter, and an on/off switch. That’s it. The original Shure SM58 doesn’t even have that switch, but I suggest you go for the “s” aka switch version.

Consistently the first choice of performers around the globe, the SM58S vocal microphone is a genuine world standard and a true audio legend.The Shure SM58S is a unidirectional (cardioid) dynamic vocal microphone designed for professional vocal use in live performance, sound reinforcement, and studio recording. The sound profile was also designed with a cardioid polar pattern and ‘bass roll-off’. This feature allows for the ‘proximity effect’ (increasing bass by moving closer to the mic) letting singers make changes to their vocal tone on the fly.
