Questions & Answers

Is this a genuine Beta 58 or a Chinese ripoff?

That is an excellent query. Only one thing I can say is that the one I got is genuine. The mesh grill on the AUTHENTIC SHURE mic resembles a spider web, with the links intertwined - almost like a spider web. A regular metal screen is used on the FAKE SHURE. The ring on the AUTHENTIC SHURE mic is DEEP BLUE in color (not DARK BLUE!). ) in the vicinity of the grill The REAL SHURE mic will have the pins numbered "1, 2 and 3" and ALSO have the SHURE LOGO embossed on the base by the pins, whereas the FAKE one will have a "SKY BLUE" Also, at the BOTTOM of the mic, where the XLR pins are, the REAL SHURE mic will have the pins numbered "1, 2 and 3" and ALSO have the SHURE LOGO embossed on the base by the pin The FAKE MICS, on the other hand, are not going to. I hope this information has been of assistance to you.

Is phantom power of 48V required for this mic?

Hello, because this microphone is dynamic, it does not require phantom power. Condenser microphones, such as the Shure Beta 87A, require phantom power to operate.

Is it possible to use this microphone with the U3 Wireless XLR?

They can, in fact, be used in tandem.

Can anyone give an accurate estimate of how much better it is than other mics at resisting feedback? If not, do you have any suggestions for a good one?

It's a dynamic microphone, for the most part. Dynamic microphones were designed specifically for use with live music. In the studio, a condenser mic is usually used because it is more sensitive and feeds back more. In today's world, newer condenser mics are getting better, and with gate features on a lot of vocal pedals, it's really a toss-up of what you like sound-wise. This has been the go-to mic for tons of pros who perform live! If feed back is a major issue for you, perhaps because you do a solo acoustic gig in a small bar or pub, you should try out the sE Dynomite or the Cloud It's almost plug-and-play, but you'll need Phantom power, which won't harm your dynamic microphone. Both of these things increase gain while lowering the floor. Allowing your voice to be heard above the music. You can do this without turning up the volume on your stereo. The sE V7 is another mic worth looking into. It's turned into a heavy hitter with some big names, and I'm seeing them all over the place. I'm thinking about purchasing one. You see, the thing about these mics is that you can't go wrong with them; they'll probably outlive you, so if you buy a bunch of them, they'll just sit around until you find a use for them. If you're a serious vocalist, it's similar to having too many guitars; you can never have too many, and they all sound different.

Selected User Reviews For Shure BETA 58A Supercardioid Dynamic Vocal Microphone with A25D Adjustable Stand Adapter, 5/8” to 3/8” (Euro) Thread Adapter and Storage Bag

I chose this mic for a variety of reasons
5/5

I needed a microphone to help me improve my vocals. I have a softer, more mellow voice, and I needed a microphone that could provide both clarity and volume. I used the Sennheiser e935 as well as the Shure SM58. The e935 was warmer and had less proximity effect, but I had to be very close to the mic to get it to pick up my vocals, and when the gain was turned up, the PA would hiss. After that, I attempted to SM58- It was good, but a little too muddy and bassy for my tastes. As a result, I decided to give the Beta 58A a shot. The clarity and crispness with which it sounded and how well it complemented my tone astounded me. There was also no hissing sound from the PA speakers when the gain was turned up to 11. Compared to the e935, this was fantastic. Also, even from 1 to 2 inches away, it picked up my voice fairly well. Overall, I'm a big fan of this mic and prefer it to the e935 and regular 58.

Vocal Mic of the Highest Quality
5/5

As a sound engineer, DJ, and band member for years, I've known the Shure Beta 58A to be a superior vocal mic to the Shure SM58, which is a good mic in its own right. br>This mic was given to one of the band members, and it outperforms the rest of the band's SM58s in terms of brightness and clarity. The mic's body is sturdy and appears to be built to last, just like all of the other Shure products I've used and loved. It's the same here. This is a good place to start if you want to take your vocals beyond the capabilities of an SM58.

Instead of headphones, connect your karaoke app to an external speaker
5/5

I've been looking for an XLR mic to use with my Smule Karaoke Sing app and an iRig-based karaoke system. prior to the adapter I know it appears to be excessive, but it isn't. Please bear with me and pay attention to what I am saying. Please hear me out. First and foremost, I am unable to sing into a pair of earbuds; they sound good but do not feel natural. It's always best to use a handheld or stand-up mic. You'll need an earbud or wired headphones to use these apps because you'll need to hear the music. With standard headphones or mics, you won't be able to listen to music while singing into the app. As a result, severe sound distortion will result, as the mic picks up sound from external speakers, which is then picked up by the mic, which is then transmitted back to speakers, which the mic then picks up again. It's a never-ending spiral of distorted data. However, there are times when I WANT to use an external speaker so that I can use the app like a stand-alone karaoke machine, and this is the only mic (with this acoustic and build quality) that allows me to do so. Why? Because it is very good at picking up only the sound of your voice as it comes out of your mouth. The external speakers' volume can be turned up to a reasonable level, but the mic will not pick it up. Depending on the volume of the external speaker, there is almost no distortion. I originally purchased the SM58, but it was too muddled and bassy for my voice type, so I returned it and replaced it with this after reading reviews. It was a good decision on my part. Yes, it is pricey, but it is a long-term investment that will provide many years of enjoyment and satisfaction because it outperforms the SM 58 in terms of sound quality and external sound isolation. You can hear and assess the sound quality of this mic for yourself by listening to some of the songs I've done with this mic on Smule Sing karaoke app profile name @RichPaterno, or by simply going to Smule. Search for my profile name on the com website, then go to the MOST RECENT VIDEOS tab to see where I've used this mic. OMG! It makes the most beautiful sound!.

It's a fantastic microphone
5/5

It produces a hot sound with excellent definition - hot is a good word. With a lot of gain, it has a very clear, powerful sound. There is no muddiness here, so nothing will be hidden. It's not perfect, so I'd give it a 4 out of 5. If I could, I'd give it a five-star rating. There is handling noise, which is a non-issue if you're playing rock music. It's not a big deal during the talking parts, but if you're not careful, it'll creep into your conversation. The tone isn't quite as warm as I'd like, but this mic is still fantastic! They're also said to be indestructible, which is a nice bonus. It's a significant improvement over the Shure 58a and many other stage microphones, and it outperforms mics costing much more - The money spent was well spent.

It was well worth the money
5/5

The best live vocal mic for the money, and one of the most solid and reliable live vocal mics available. With just a smidgeon of low-cost customization, you can't go wrong. end EQ for proximity effect, and this vocal mic is great for male and female vocalists. Extraneous noise from nearby instruments or other singers is reduced thanks to the super cardioid pattern. While a less experienced vocalist may struggle to stay within the pickup pattern's sweet spot, any singer who understands how to hold and use a microphone properly will appreciate the solid and consistent sound.

The sound and quality are excellent
4/5

It could be me, but my singer uses a standard Shure, while I use the beta (I'm a drummer who also sings). ) I can't tell if there's a significant difference between the two, but there is unquestionably a price difference. However, it's possible that it's just me. The microphone sounds fantastic, and I'm very pleased with its performance; however, I'm not sure, and I'm not qualified to make a comparison between the two. I'm not sure there's much of a difference to my eyes and ears.
