What is the Beta 58A best suited to?
The Beta 58A is a premium vocal mic ideally suited for professional lead and backup vocals, either on stage or in the studio.
How does this compare to the legendary SM58?
Both are designed for vocal use and have a bright midrange and bass roll-off. The Beta 58A has increased sensitivity and high-end frequency response which results in a cleaner more detailed sound. It also features a supercardioid polar pattern compared to the SM58’s cardioid, giving it greater unwanted sound rejection and more resistance to feedback.
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.

What's the Difference Between the SM58 and the Beta58A?
The SM58 and Beta 58A are both reliable handheld vocal microphones with different pickup patterns, output levels, and tonal profiles. The SM58 has a cardioid pattern and familiar, forgiving SM-series vocal sound. The Beta 58A has a tighter supercardioid pattern, hotter output, extended response, and reduced handling noise.
