Shure PG58 Performance Gear Vocal Microphone Details
Legendary Microphone Quality! When gear-savvy musicians talk microphones, Shure is bound to be mentioned among the best and brightest. No mic locker is complete without a healthy dose of Shure's legendary quality and performance. Their Performance Gear series is the perfect introduction to one of the best microphone manufacturers on the planet. Engineered for Cocal Performance All Performance Gear microphones are engineered for specific applications, both on stage and in the studio. While other mics in the series are designed for instrument use, the PG58 is frequency-tailored to bring clarity and presence to vocal tracks. The frequency response from 60-15,000 Hz is wide enough to handle any voice, from the lowest bass to the highest soprano. Low-frequency rolloff with carefully boosted midrange help both background- and lead-vocals cut through the instrument mix to provide a central point of focus for your songs. If the singer is too far in front, it sounds like a karaoke performance, but if they are sitting too deep into the instrument tracks, the impact of the lyrics is lost. The PG58 lets you find the perfect balance, effectively communicating your message and keeping the audience engaged. Cardioid Pickup Pattern In a live-performance setting, the lead singer tends to move around the stage quite a bit. With all the sound coming up from the backline instruments, stage monitors, and the mains, feedback through the vocal mic can be difficult to deal with. Fortunately, the PG58 uses a cardioid pickup pattern to prevent off-axis sounds from entering the mic capsule. Your singer is free to roam wherever they like without worrying about creating a feedback loop. In the studio, this narrow pickup range is great for isolating audio to individual tracks. If the drums are bleeding into the vocals, it can be difficult to boost the singer's level without having too much of the drums in the mix. The cardioid pattern keeps the drums out, making it easy to adjust the vocals while the instrument levels remain unchanged. You'll definitely appreciate this added control as your mixes get tighter and clearer. The integrated on/off switch also prevents feedback and track-bleed when the mic is not in use. Rugged Construction This mic is built to take heavy road abuse and still perform to perfection at every stop on the tour. The rugged metal housing and steel mesh grille protect the internal components from damage, no matter how crazy things get up on stage. An internal shockmount system limits handling noise caused by moving the microphone or adjusting the mic stand, and Shure's integrated filter reduces vocal pops and breath noise before they can ruin a recorded track. The mic capsule contains a neodymium magnet for boosted signal levels, plus a beefy coil to handle Sound Pressure Levels (SPL) up to 94 dB without distortion. You can check the PG58 off your list of things to worry about and spend your time tightening up your set. The Drop Test For further proof of the PG58's rock-solid construction, it passed Shure's famed drop test. Just like the popular SM series, Performance Gear models are dropped ten times from ten feet high with no noticeable performance problems. Bottom line, the mic is ready to deliver quality vocals whenever you're ready to make music. Indoors or outdoors -- it makes no difference. Your PG58 provides proper operation at a temperature range of -20 to 135 degrees Fahrenheit, and at a relative humidity of 0 to 95 percent. Book a gig anywhere on the planet and your mic will be there to back you up.
