Shure Product Benefits
On stage or in the studio, the BETA 58A is made for refined voice. The brightened midrange and bass roll-off give lead and background vocals a mighty presence in the mix. And the supercardioid pattern works harder to isolate your sound from every other source in the air. You could say it’s a singer’s best friend.
No worse for wear
The hardened steel mesh grille stands up to some of the roughest sweat drips, mic drops and van rides, without so much as a dent to show for it.
Out-louds the noise
The neodymium magnet provides higher output levels, so your sound is clear – and everything else stays in the background.
A worldwide star
The BETA 58A is a top-selling, single-element, dynamic microphone, and can be seen every night on stages all around the globe.
How Does This Compare to the Legendary SM58?
