Re: The SM58...I'm getting close to 300 mics (one-man sound co_) and 6 of them are SM58's. Twenty-two of them are cheaper SM58 knock-offs. When doing live sound, the 58's always get set up. If someone asks for something else, they'll get it......if there's time. (Think 8 bands in 8 hours with no time scheduled for change-overs.) If I have my choice, I throw up a half-dozen PL80a's. Flatter response, tighter pattern. But the 58 is and will always be the closest thing to a "one size fits all" mic.
