User questions & answers

Question:	I'm trying to decide between this mike, the SM48 and the PG 58. I would like the best mike for a band, short of the SM
Answer:	I assume it's for a vocal mike? I do not know about the PG 58, but I can tell you the SM48 is flawless. Absolutely no problems so far. Shures are tanks when it comes to mics. I'd still go with the SM58 if you can get your hands on one cheap. I have never heard of a problem with them. I have seen vocalist throw them to the ground and they still work the same. Hope that helps.
Question:	Help! Which speaker can connect to this mike
Answer:	You can plug a Shure SM48 or Shure SM58 to hundreds of speakers, which is why they're the world's most popular, universal microphone (every performing musician I've known and every band carries a reliable and indestructible SM58 mic). It works with "performer's" speakers, which have a built-in amp and pre-amp. Examples are Peavey, Bose, JBL, Electrovoice, etc. I happen to use Roland piano speakers and Roland Cube speakers, but any P.A. system is likely to have the conventional XLR speaker's connection as well as the ¼ inch connection should you have a plug at the end of your cable (the SM58 will take either cable). The problem comes into play if you're limited to an indoor stereo system with "hi-fi speakers," which are not self-powered like musicians-performer's speakers. This is a performer's mic, the one you'll see in use for P.A. speakers in large rooms and big outdoor areas-- and musician's amp-speakers (for all those electric pianos). But it requires an XLR or quarter-inch phone plug connection. If you wish to use it as a USB speaker with your computer, Amazon is showing it with the the Shure X2U adapter ($100), which will convert an XLR cable into a USB cable and provide conveniences like a headphones jack (for no-latency monitoring) and control of volume as well as 48V Phantom Power (which is not needed with the SM48/58, since both are dynamic mics, not condenser mics). If yours is a non-USB condenser mic (eg. ATT2020), the Shure adapter could take the place of a mixing board-interface, saving money and space while giving you all the flexibility you need with a single mic used like a USB accessory to connect to a computer. Blue makes the same for half the price (the Icycle?), but with fewer onboard controls and questionable durability (my Blue mics, incl. the Yeti, are the first to break or wear out). Also, check Planet Waves for some of the plainest, cheapest (less than $10) adapters.
Question:	What type of connector does it use
Answer:	The output on the mike is xlr style but if that's a probly you can buy an xlr to 1/4 converter for a few bucks
Question:	what 10watt will work well with sm48s
Answer:	sauteed Broccoli de rabe with a side of minced meat couscous

User questions & answers

Question:	I thought this came with a 1/8" adapter to bring the size down from 1/4? Maybe I read the ad wrong. Do you sell 1/4 to 1/8 adapters
Answer:	This mic does not come with that adapter. There are certainly many 1/4" to 1/8" adapters on Amazon.
Question:	Porque me indica que no tiene cable en la descripción
Answer:	Biene el cable separado pero en el mismo paquete
Question:	I need a cable connector to connect this microphone to the machine. What do I need to buy
Answer:	What do you mean by machine?You can order this mike with a XLR to XLR cable or a XLR to QTR cable.The diference between the XLR and the QTR terminal is the connector.The XLR is a 3 prom jack and the QTR is a 1/4" jack, similar to the 1/8" or 3.5mm jack you use in you cel phone or most of the stereos.If you have a regular 3.5mm input in your stereo, mixer or amplifyer yiu need to buy this mike with a XLR to QTR cable and a Reduction Jack from 1/4" Female to 1/8" Male.All the mikes terminal are XLR Female,, so the difference is at the other end of the cable, You either use a XLR terminal/jack or a 1/4" jack.
Question:	What is the difference between pga48-qtr and pga48-xlr
Answer:	the qtr has a 1/4" cable, the XLR has an xlr cable. We have a package with stand: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B017RLEPZ0/ref=olp_product_details?_encoding=UTF8&me= or the xlr version: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072DX341N/ref=olp_product_details?_encoding=UTF8&me=

Tailored for performers of every level, Shure offers a complete family of wired microphones to meet any audio need. With the PG ALTA Microphone family, Shure continues its 90-year tradition of manufacturing audio products of the highest quality and construction. Featuring a sleek black metallic industrial design and cardioid polar patterns that reduce feedback and background noise, the PG ALTA family delivers rock-solid sound and reliability that sets the bar for accessible, professional-caliber gear for performance and recording.

Product description

What is the 55SH Series II best suited to? The Shure 55SH Series II is suited specifically to vocal applications. Therefore, typically live performance, public address as well as for broadcasting, recording, and sound applications where a stand-mounted microphone with a classic look is desirable. What type of polar pattern does the 55SH Series II have? A cardioid (unidirectional) polar pickup pattern is employed to minimize sound pickup from the rear of the microphone. This allows the Model 55SH Series II to be used in close proximity to loudspeakers without creating feedback problems, and it can perform under adverse acoustic conditions where omnidirectional microphones cannot.

• Classic appearance, modern performance
• Frequency response tailored for speech, vocals and instrumental music
• Cardioid directional pattern for optimum performance in adverse acoustic environments
• Shock-mounted cartridge minimizes stand-transmitted noise, ensures quiet operation
• Rugged die cast casing for reliability under rigorous conditions
• Self-tensioning swivel mount, permits tilting through 45 degrees forward and 80 degrees backward
• If you want to capture a classic look, you need the gear to match the genre. Nothing completes the style quite like the 55SH Series II, a microphone that has been gripped by legends for decades. Others may imitate, but none can duplicate the form and function standards Shure has held from our first Unidyne mic to our latest.

User questions & answers

Question:	how does one connect this mic to a computer
Answer:	No it does not. It is a dynamic microphone and does not need phantom power.If this was helpful, please consider purchasing from us (pixelproaudio on Amazon). We can help with support after the sale as well. We have it in stock and ready to ship. - Pixel Pro Audio
Question:	Still not clear from description - does the mic require phantom power
Answer:	As with any microphone of quality, cords, and stands are not included. I use mine with a boom stand and the head tilts back perfectly. The best mic for live vocals I have ever used!
Question:	I don´t see any information if the cable is included with this mic
Answer:	My friend has the 55SH series 2 and I have 55 deluxe. After trying his I enjoyed it so much that I wanted to buy one of my own. I went with the 55 deluxe because since it has a beta 58 capsule as opposed to an old SM48 capsule it gives you higher gain before feedback. the frequency response is also more desirable having 60 Hertz to 17,000 vs. 50 Hertz to 15,000. So it's brighter and attenuates more of the low end that you really don't want to have on a vocal anyway. However both of the microphones do have different sounds and if you're after more of a lo-fi I sound the 55SH would be a better option but if you want a really awesome sounding one that is more up do date with todays technology get the 55 deluxe.
Question:	This Shure Super 55 Deluxe Vocal Mic is ~$60 more than the Shure 55SH Series II Iconic Unidyne Vocal Mic. Anyone own both? What makes it worth more
Answer:	Yes, I think you can send the output of this unit to any device with Audio In (the large Audio jack). Then I send it to my Home entertainment system Auxiliary Input.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the difference between the sm58 and the pga58? I am a moble dj and karaoke host. I have customers that are really particular about the sound
Answer:	The PGA58 is the cheap version of the SM58. The SM58 will sound a little better. If you're not super sensitive to sound then the PGA58 will likely work just fine. If I were a DJ I would do the SM58 and then just have a mixer to turn the mic off if need be. PGA58 has an ON/OFF switch on it so it can be turned off by accident. But, some folks want a power switch on the mic.
Question:	Does this mic have an internal shock mount
Answer:	All mics have some internal shock mount. But depending on your use, it may not be adequate. This mic is average noise for what is considered a handheld mic.
Question:	Do i need xlr male to female or male to male
Answer:	The microphone uses a standard XLR and has three prongs. If you order a cord with the microphone they will give you a choice of XLR or 1/4", this choice pertains to the end that does not plug into the microphone. Personnaly I selected the 1/4" so I could plug it into my amplifier (my amp has two inputs) while practicing. The 1/4" will also plug into our group's PA system becasue the PA has a plug that accepts either 1/4" or XLR. Saying all that, you need a cord with a female XLR to plug into the microphone's male XLR and the other end will be either a male 1/4" or male XLR to plug into whatever you are using to amplify your voice.
Question:	Can you plug in this mic to an amp? My previous mic plug had a long silver end on it but this one doesn't have one
Answer:	The cable that comes with it is XLR to XLR, so no, it won't plug into the amp without a 1/4" connector. Cable is not permanently attached to the mic, and can be changed to an XLR TO 1/4" type cable. The mic is incredible and worth every penny.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this microphone wireless
Answer:	This one is not wireless You need to purchase a mic cable too It is not included They make a wireless version but this is not it
Question:	Can anyone give a realistic assessment of how much better it is at resisting feedback than other mics? If not, any recommendations for one that does
Answer:	I haven't found it to be any better or worse at resisting feedback. The SM58 Beta is better than the SM58 in a few areas, but I haven't noticed it being better in this specific regard.
Question:	Does this mic need phantom power of 48V
Answer:	Hello, This microphone does not require phantom power, as it is dynamic.Phantom power is required for condenser microphones, such as Shure Beta 87A.
Question:	Is this a real Beta 58 or is it the ripoff from China
Answer:	Good question. I can only tell you that the one I received is real. The mesh grill on the AUTHENTIC SHURE mic almost looks "spider web" like. The links are intertwined - the FAKE SHURE has a regular metal screen. The AUTHENTIC SHURE mic has a DEEP BLUE colored ring (not DARK BLUE!) around the grill. The FAKE one has like a "SKY BLUE" Also, at the BOTTOM of the mic, where the XLR pins are, the REAL SHURE mic will have the pins numbered "1, 2 and 3" and ALSO have the SHURE LOGO embossed on the base by the pins. The FAKE MICS will NOT. Hope this info HELPS.

User questions & answers

Question:	I apologize for my ignorance. Need for my church. Does this run on battery alone or does it have to be hooked up to something to work
Answer:	It does not need a battery, but you do need to connect it to an amplifier that has a mic XLR connection. Mostly this would be a separate pre-amp which is then connected to a larger console or amplifier system, though some systems combines both.
Question:	How long is the cable that I can get with this mic
Answer:	If the official Shure part number SM58-CN is selected, the "CN" means a 25' XLR microphone cable will be included. Other variants include SM58S which is microphone with an on/off switch, SM58-LC which is microphone only with no cable.
Question:	What amplifier or mixer [ $20- $50 ] should i buy which is compatible with sm58 ? need suggestion
Answer:	While there are some modest guitar amplifiers in your price range, systems for amplifying vocals tend to be more expensive. You'd be looking for a "Public Address" or "PA" system, with some compact setups starting in the $100 range. Brands like Samson, Behringer, Alesis, and Roland have some models at the lower end of the price spectrum.
Question:	Feel free to laugh a bit and excuse my ignorance. I am starting voice lessons does this microphone only work with a computer? Or can I hook it up to something different? Ok no more laughing. Thank You
Answer:	I'd like to correct a statement that's been made about the SM-58, which is the most popular, universal "performer's mic," found in every band that can afford it and serving as the White House microphone for heads of state. It's a "dynamic" rather than a "condenser mic," which means it's durable, tough, long-lasting, made to take abuse. But it's not the preferred microphone in the recording studio, which is where the more sensitive, nuanced condenser microphone shines (but don't toss it in a bag and "take it on the road"). Condenser mics require more power than dynamic mics, and that power is called "phantom power," which is found in most mixing boards and in many amps--and in this handy adapter. But you do NOT require Phantom Power for an XLR connection: you require it for a CONDENSER MIC. And since the popular SM58 is a DYNAMIC MIC, the Phantom Power is wasted, a needless add-on. If you want to convert your XLR to USB (or to a phone plug), there are many adapters and cables for $10 that will do the trick You certainly don't need to invest a hundred in the pictured adapter--that's sheer "overkill. It's a bit of a mystery why sellers are showing the SM58 with a Phantom-Powered Adapter for condenser mics. You may be wasting $100 on one or the other of these incompatible devices.

User questions & answers

Question:	how close do vocalists need to be compared to SM
Answer:	I use it with my Pro Tools system just fine. Just plug it into your interface and you should be fine.
Question:	I have been told to buy sound equipment, especially mics from shure. is this microphone manufactured buy shure? please let me know
Answer:	The Boss PSA 120 adapter that comes with it is good for 100-240 volts, 50-60 HZ, but you will need a 220V plug adapter for the country you using it in. No USB.
Question:	I received this item on April 13, 2018 and it just stopped working. What is the warranty period for this item
Answer:	The simple answer is yes. What I recommend is downloading the PDF User Guide and review the information on the external switch. You can use an expression pedal and you can control functions. Beyond that, I am not qualified to give you an in-depth review for two reasons: I don't use the product that way, and not really sure what you want to accomplish (i.e., just get the PDF). I will say it is a great product and has some really good sounds!
Question:	Can the SM86 condenser mic work for choir vocals to pick up multiple voices at a distance
Answer:	I don't know. But I suppose if the TC doesn't have an output wattage and is just a signal processor, I don't see why not. You have 1/4" and Mic inputs on the side. I would recommend contacting Boss and asking them directly.
