Re: The SM58...
Let's see, the world's most popular vocal mic for almost fifty years needs an incentive quota from the manufacturer...
Sorry.
When a shop orders SM58 mics, it's not "I wonder if I should buy them", but "How many per month do I need?".
You can add up the sales totals for the next ten most popular vocal mics below the 58, and I am pretty sure it outsells that total by a goodly amount every year.
It is predictable, dependable, and cost effective. It is also accepted world wide as the standard.
Are there better sounding vocal mics? Of course. But when push comes to shove, a 58 will almost always be acceptable.
