Bundle offer comprising
Shure Beta 58 A
Dynamic Vocal Microphone
In the tradition of the SM58, the dynamic Beta 58A has become the first choice among singers and professional sound engineers.
The Beta 58A is a dynamic, high-output vocals microphone designed for professional audio amplification and use in the recording studio. The supercardioid polar pattern extends over the entire transmission range and guarantees high, feedback resistant amplifications, maximum isolation from other sound sources and a minimum of off-axis sound. The contoured frequency response is ideal for close-up vocals.
Due to its robust construction, proven shock absorber system, and hardened steel windscreen, its outstanding performance is not compromised even with rough handling. Typical applications of the Beta 58A are lead vocals, backup vocals, and speech.

The tradition lives on
The Shure Beta 58 A has followed in the footsteps of its venerated predecessor, the SM58. Much like its older sibling, the Beta 58 A is an extremely dependable and high quality dynamic microphone which immediately became an industry standard amongst stage and studio music professionals alike. Its clean, transparent sound, solid build, and near-indestructible shockmount have won over countless musicians worldwide. This bundle also provides essentials that users need to get started: A microphone stand and a 10m cable.
A microphone designed for performance
The Beta 58 A provides a high level of intelligibility and transparency on all types of vocals, thanks to a wider spectrum response (notably in the high frequencies when compared to the illustrious SM58) and more focused supercardioid polarity. The neodymium magnet provides an output boost, notably in the mid-range and the dynamic capsule naturally attenuates the lower frequencies, both of which confer yet more presence to both lead and backing vocals, while providing a clean and powerful signal. The Beta 58 A is also known for remaining largely immune to tough performance conditions and disturbances: The shock mount prevents handling noises and the wire mesh grid protects from wind and plosive noises, all while keeping the capsule safe.
A brilliant sound for everyone
The Shure Beta 58 A is at home in every musical style, from Classical to Hip-Hop and from Country to Metal. Countless professionals and discerning amateurs alike have come to rely on this affordable microphone to bring the best out of their voices - whether during a small and private vocal performance or a concert at Wembley! The frequency response of the Beta 58 A is naturally suited to the human voice and requires hardly any tweaking at the mixing desk to perform. This bundle is very functional, and will suit budding recordists and professionals alike, as it includes a K&M microphone stand and 10m cable with tie.
About Shure
The American company Shure began developing microphones during the early 1930s and is one of the pioneers of the audio engineering sector. Models such as the 55 Unidyne - known to many as the "Elvis microphone" - and the SM57 and SM58 which appeared in the mid-1960s are still ubiquitous in live sound production today. They enjoy cult status among musicians and technicians alike. In the 1990s, Shure introduced the first wireless microphones and in-ear monitoring systems and became a market leader in this field. In addition to microphones, Shure offers a wide range of earphones and headphones for studio and live use, as well as various accessories.
Stage-ready and indestructible
The Shure Beta 58 A is ready for anything - even if the going gets rough. The rugged and scratch-resistant body, steel mesh grid, and enamel coating protect it effectively from the mishaps of stage life and ensure its longevity - while the pneumatic shock mount insulates from unwanted vibrations and mechanical noises. The cable included is long enough for relatively large stages, and the German-made microphone stand will prove a reliable companion during your stage performances - it is stable and its articulated arm can be oriented and placed as desired, for example opposite a guitar’s rosette.
In the spotlight
Supercardioid polar pattern
Microphones are more or less sensitive to sounds arriving from different angles, and this directional sensitivity is illustrated by different polar patterns. Singers naturally prefer microphones that focus on their voice and suppress background noise as much as possible. The perfect microphone for this purpose is the supercardioid type. This type derives its name from the conventional cardioid mics. The supercardioid’s directionality is more pronounced than the cardioid’s, which results in a further narrowing of the sound source as well as greater resistance to feedback. In addition, supercardioid mics augment the proximity effect, which can be a plus. Sounds arriving straight in the axis of the diaphragm are favoured, and those coming from the sides are suppressed. However, it should also be noted that supercardioid microphones are more sensitive from directly behind than cardioids.
