If you think this mic sound shit, I believe you must be rich. if you need 20 vocal microphone for a show, yet demand certain quality. If the customer is ok with Behringer, then you will save a lot. But if they want something better, you will have to give them a SM58. And I cannot see how you can put in anything better then that with tt much of money. you do the math.And i am commenting this as a live sound engineer + businessman perspective. Please do not compare SM58 with studio mic.

Are we having most studio ppl here commanding the SM58?For the SM58, it has been in the market for more then 40 years. And it even make in Mexico for more 25 years. If you happen to compare this 40 years old mic to an E845(hyper-Cardioid)or even Nuemann KMS1, then the comparison is unfair.

Of course. And I personally love 57, still the best snare mic there is. Even 58 will do sometimes in a studio but for live it's POS because of the off-axis response and feedback. Naturally you don't have feedback problems in studio.

Except, in studio's even with large stocks of condensers, it still ends up used on guitar cabs, snares and even some vocals. It's lo-fi & there are lots of "better" dynamics around, but the 57/8 still gets used - for the sound.Of course, if you're using it inappropriately, it will sound like a POS.

It's in no way fake. The test was done by a serious studio recording magazine.Not saying that you shouldn't be careful with your mices though. But this is just to prove that the SM58 can take a lot of beating.

Yeah, it's durable. But as said, it sounds pretty crap and the off-axis frequency response is horrible and causes a hell lot of leaks and feedback. The durability is the only reason why it's so popular, nothing to do with the tone.
