History of the Shure SM58

[@00higz00]

What a great history. I enjoyed this, have had my 58s since I started performing and they have taken a beating and still perform.

[@BarkingForBroccoliBG]

I provided audio for a fashion show at ex wife's retail store and had thst Shure super 55 with blue foam. The host loved it

[@Thrashman138]

This is incredible. The SM58 is my favorite microphone and my daily driver. I absolutely love Michael's insights and stories. I could listen to hours more of what he knows about the 58's legacy. Great stuff!

[@ramencurry6672]

It’s a great mic. Even though it’s generic it’s still very impressive and does things right

[@trevoroutim8519]

Amazing history. So great to see.

[@Zakster90]

Love this! As a microphone nerd, I’d love to see more of these!

[@Mr_A_Mia]

i second that!

[@davidaylsworth8964]

Really interesting to hear this history. My best friend passed away last year and among his effects are a Model 55, 545SD and and SM58. All of them in working order. Now I’ve got a really interesting collection of mic’s, and I know more of their history to boot.

My Mom gifted me an sm58 for my live-streaming and im so happy

[@butcharmstrong9645]

I STILL have my Shure PE50SP that i purchased in Sioux City, Iowa in 1975! It was the mic to see on any stage

[@odettepayumo1175]

Thank you so much! I am not persuaded to invest in Shire SM 58 because you presented the history, features and benefits of the the said microphone comprehensively. You did an excellent product presentation! You amazes me!

[@kishascape]

So why are you not persuaded then?

[@dowtube1]

So interesting, couldn't turn it off, nice presentation. Glad to know more about the legacy of my SM58

[@Daveinet]

There was a rumor that years ago, the SM58 was not being magnetized correctly. Supposedly, if you have one of the ones that was not fully magnetized, the magnet fades, which results in low output and possibly distortion. Does anyone know if this is true? I have two SM58s that easily distort. When they failed, originally only one of them distorted. Within about two months, the other one became distorted. Eventually we could no longer use them. I still have them, so I'm curious as to why they failed after about 3 years. (These mics are from the early 80s)

Sir, I want to do voice over. I want to buy Sure SM 58 mic. But a shopkeeper told me that you cannot do recording with dynamic mic. This is not for recording. Condenser mics are made for recording. Sir, what should i do ? Please tell te Truth

[@shure]

Hi! You might want to check out the SM7B or MV7, both are dynamic microphones used for voiceovers or podcasting. Our support team can also provide other recommendations. You can reach them at shu.re/contact.

[@fkmobile1]

Is this the billion-dollar mic yet? I wonder how many units have been sold... :)

[@jptourigny222]

Very well done! I have a question please. On a popular auction site, I saw a now closed auction for a vintage SM-58 microphone that has a reference to "Porsche logos". Can you please explain the reference if there is one.

[@andrew6978]

Excellent presentation.

[@ReinaldoRauch]

That Sinatra history was awsome hehe, sorry for you Michael

[@AnaRobinson-nw3vx]

Oh, I still enjoyed those Shure 565 micz

[@hellomeatrobots]

The Unidyne prototype is freakin' hot. It needs to be a product.

[@christeschke9844]

I feel a little let down for getting a Blue microphone for much more :)

[@errorsofmodernism9715]

What was it about the sound signature of the SM59 that irritated Frank? I am curious

[@KyleDavisMusic]

Loved that Michael! Thank you

[@marcusunlimited]

The lab manuscript, nice, thank you.

[@AnaRobinson-nw3vx]

I had a guitar pedal that I used for echo/reverb and I trade it for a Shure 58 from my cousin in 1981 still works fine all I did bought a new mic ball

[@protoman247]

Cool. Saw this on sm58 day.

[@karunthapa354]

just when i was looking for a video deciding whether i should buy this mic or not

[@B_Wolfen]

Yes, I still have it, with lots of pitting on the grey enclosure from years of use. Natural relic at its best 😁😉😜

[@Mr_A_Mia]

Excellent Video! thank you!

[@peterdvideos]

Fantastic!

[@kevinisaacs6930]

It sweet! I use the sm 58 sometimes

[@PlanetRockJesus]

I totally enjoyed this presentation. I learned that the 57 and 58 both use the same element. And OH MAN, that SM59 was Shure ugly!

[@AutistCat]

Bauer was from Odessa, which is considered Ukrainian today. But he was indeed born in the Russian Empire.

[@AlbertoMartinezDelRio]

That's entertainment!

[@christianboddum8783]

❤❤❤

[@TomasWatchReviews]

wow. Senatra was rude..

[@michaelsi6770]

For a company that makes "legendary" microphones, audio quality in this video is really bad. You may try Neumann KSM 105. I will help, I promise.

[@azrysabri5978]

Its google meet m8 😂

[@gillihansmobilewelding]

It's called a KMS 105. If you're going to name drop for attention, at least spell it right.

[@michaelsi6770]

@@gillihansmobilewelding lol

[@LuigiSR50]

The audio here is ironically bad for talking about microphones 😅

[@ramencurry6672]

Sinatra is so bland. His music has turned into background music for shopping malls.
