Rachel Cameron Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 It's time we raise our tankards, and give a rousing toast to the intrepid SM58. As of this month (according to Shure Bros.), the mic is now fifty years old. They're celebrating with a silver one, for some reason. But I believe the big 50 is supposed to be gold. Maybe when it reaches 58, we'll be getting our gold ones. http://www.shure.com/americas/news-events/press-releases/shure-celebrates-50th-anniversary-of-iconic-sm58-microphone PS: I've seen some of them that look well over fifty.

Philip Perkins Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 I've worked with bands that break out a new one every night for the lead singer, who trashes the mic by the end of each show. There are a WHOLE lot of crippled + abused 58s out there...be careful about buying one used... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
