If you close your eyes and think "microphone", then in twelve cases out of ten you see a Shure SM58. Since 1966, the SM58 has been the obvious choice for singers and sound engineers, making it the world's best-selling microphone. And the technology still holds up today. It is a dynamic condenser microphone with a clear proximity effect which means that the bass frequencies are raised when the sound source is close to the microphone. The spherical filter inside the Shure SM58 minimizes puff and distortion, making it an obvious choice in a live context. It was primarily developed as a vocal microphone, but works just as well when you need to mic up acoustic instruments, drums or amplifiers. Shure themselves claim that it is virtually impossible to break.
