Shure Beta 58A vocal microphone for stage and studio
The Shure Beta 58A is a dynamic vocal microphone developed for live performance and project studio recording. Its 50 Hz to 16 kHz frequency response is tailored specifically for vocals, with a clear midrange and bass roll-off to control the proximity effect when you sing close to the mic.
That makes this Shure vocal microphone a strong choice for lead and backing vocals. Compared with the well-known SM58, the Beta 58A offers higher sensitivity and more high-end in the frequency response, resulting in a clearer, more detailed vocal sound.
Supercardioid microphone with strong rejection of surrounding sound
The supercardioid pattern helps isolate other sound sources more effectively and reject unwanted off-axis sound. This gives you more gain-before-feedback, which is especially useful on stage when working with monitors or cutting through a busy mix.
The neodymium magnet contributes to a high signal-to-noise ratio. Its advanced pneumatic shock mount system reduces the transfer of mechanical noise and vibration, so handling noise comes through less prominently.
Construction and included accessories
For demanding use, the Shure Beta 58A has a hardened steel grille that resists wear and misuse. At 278 grams, this vocal mic feels solid in the hand and remains well suited to regular stage work and recording sessions.
Included are an Adjustable Stand Adapter (A25D), a 5/8" to 3/8" Thread Adapter (95A2050) and a Storage Bag (95A2314). If you want advice on microphones for vocals or recording, Magna Music offers personal guidance from staff who are musicians themselves.
