The Shure SM58SE — A Live-Vocal Legend With a Switch

The Shure SM58SE is the switched version of the world's most recognized live-vocal dynamic microphone, a stage icon trusted by performers since 1966. This unidirectional cardioid dynamic microphone is designed for professional vocal use in live performance, sound reinforcement, and studio recording. Its tailored vocal response shapes lead and backup voices with warmth and clarity, while the SE adds a recessed on/off switch on the handle.

What Sets This Microphone Apart

What separates this model from other dynamic handhelds is a built-in spherical wind filter paired with a proven pneumatic shock-mount system. The integrated pop filter minimizes wind and breath noise without a separate foam windscreen, while the internal shock mount decouples the capsule from the body to kill handling noise. Durability is ensured by a steel mesh grille and tough metal body, giving the YRS-23 the ability to withstand drops and rough handling on tour.

Capsule and Polar Pattern — Tuned for the Human Voice

Engineered specifically for the human voice, the cardioid dynamic capsule provides a unidirectional pattern that isolates your singing from background noise on stage and in the studio.

• Capsule Type: Dynamic — handles extreme SPLs without phantom power
• Polar Pattern: Cardioid — rejects stage bleed for cleaner live mixes
• Benefit from a frequency range of 50 Hz – 15 kHz, which smooths harsh voices and brings warmth to lower notes, fitting well into a mix without needing heavy EQ.

Build and Handling — Road-Tested Construction

Built for the demands of nightly gigging, this instrument pairs a steel mesh grille with internal shock mounting relied on by touring vocalists.

• Dimensions: 162 × 51 × 51 mm — fits standard mic clips
• Weight: 298 g — balanced in the hand during long sets
• Connector: XLR — balanced output that plugs into any mixer, interface, or stage box

On/Off Switch and Bundle — Ready to Work

With a recessed on/off switch, singers gain the ability to mute the microphone between songs without unplugging. The kit comes complete for immediate use.

• On/Off Switch: Recessed handle switch — mutes the mic between sets without leaving the stage
• Package Contents: Microphone, clip, gig bag, adapter — ready-to-use kit for stage and studio right out of the box
• Its sensitivity of -54.5 dBV/Pa (1.85 mV) matches most live-console preamps.

Who Is This Microphone For?

Live vocalists, touring bands, podcasters, and places of worship choose this model for its ruggedness and consistent sound. Lead singers and backup vocalists benefit from cardioid rejection of stage noise and a tone that sits comfortably in a mix. Comedians value the on/off switch for muting between routines, while podcasters enjoy the same proven capsule found on countless recordings.

Decades on Stage

Introduced in 1966, the SM58 series remains in continuous production—one of the longest-running professional audio products. Artists like Bono famously used it on U2's The Joshua Tree, cementing its reputation for durability and reliable performance through years of touring.
