Shure Brothers Inc SM58LC Cardioid Dynamic Vocal Mic

Product Description

The SHURE BROTHERS, INC. SM58LC is a wired, cardioid dynamic microphone designed for professional vocal applications. It operates on a low-impedance (Lo-Z) output configuration, making it compatible with standard balanced XLR microphone inputs found on mixing consoles, PA systems, and audio interfaces. The cardioid polar pattern focuses pickup on the sound source directly in front of the capsule while rejecting off-axis noise and feedback — a critical characteristic in live sound and studio environments. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and electrical professionals as well as audio/visual system integrators will recognize this as a workhorse vocal mic appropriate for demanding installation and live use scenarios.

The SM58LC is suited for live vocal reinforcement, broadcast, and recording applications. Its cardioid pattern and Lo-Z output make it a standard choice for stage performance, houses of worship, conference systems, and installed sound environments. The unit ships as a single microphone without a cable, positioning it for use with existing balanced XLR wiring infrastructure already in place at the install site.

Installation Notes

Installation of wired microphone systems should be performed by a qualified audio/visual or low-voltage systems technician. Power down or mute the amplifier and mixing console before connecting or disconnecting microphone lines to avoid signal transients that can damage speakers. Balanced XLR wiring should follow applicable low-voltage wiring practices and local code requirements. Do not apply phantom power to this dynamic microphone as it is not required and may affect connected equipment.
