Shure 58 VS Shure Super 55

[@josku5]

Honestly modern microphones all sound pretty good so as this mic is not really designed for studio use I’d say the looks actually matter more. But different people have different opinions, I just like to look fabulous on the stage 😎

[@mattingramsound]

It is nice to look awesome on stage! As an audio engineer, I can say there are definitely mics a I prefer to use over others. But as long as you stay away from the super cheap mics, you should be ok.

It should be noted that the Super 55 has the same capsule as the Beta 58, not the SM58.

Great info! I was not aware of that.

that's what I was about to write..yup..

Super 55 more definition in high frequencies

Thank you

Thank you! Hope it helped!

I have used the regular 55 for years. Main reason I got it was because of the switch. I would try the super but, like a switch.

[@mattingramsound]

We had to stop using the regular because of the switch. Kept turning off mid performance.

@mattingramsound I am also the lead guitar player so, stand mounted that has not been an issue.

Mix saved the vocals. good work.

[@mattingramsound]

Thanks!

[@UncleDanBand64]

Yeah, style over substance. Nothing wrong with that. Looking cool is ok too.

[@mattingramsound]

Looking cool is very important, but, the mic does sound pretty good too!

[@UncleDanBand64]

@@mattingramsound Yes, they are great mics.

[@jeremymartin420]

Sounds the same

[@mattingramsound]

Were you listening on a phone? They definitely don't sound the same.
