A perfect balance of price, sound quality, and durability. Partnered with the SM-57, they are definitely the most popular mics for on stage. So what is the difference between the &#8217;57 and &#8217;58? To be honest not much, they are the same price, sensitivity and capsule. The &#8217;57 is mostly used as an instrument mic, the &#8217;58 is simply a &#8217;57 with a ball foam filter on it.<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/im1.woodbrass.com\/images\/woodbrass\/PACK+SHURE+SM+58+57.JPG\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/im1.woodbrass.com\/images\/woodbrass\/PACK+SHURE+SM+58+57.JPG?resize=200%2C198&#038;ssl=1\" height=\"198\" width=\"200\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><a name='more'><\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">So there is an awesome trick to do, let&#8217;s say you don&#8217;t have enough &#8217;57s but a spare &#8217;58. This has happened to me when setting up for a gig. Simply unscrew the ball top and it becomes an SM-57. Since the ball filter is the only thing that really makes the difference to the sound of the two mics, a topless &#8217;58 acts like it&#8217;s instrument counterpart.<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net\/igi\/XElhIFeXOgZvmtSR\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"240\" src=\"https:\/\/d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net\/igi\/XElhIFeXOgZvmtSR\" width=\"320\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">So this sounds like it&#8217;s useful in a limited scenario but you can use it to your advantage. If you want a selection of mics for your stage, let&#8217;s say five SM-57s and five SM-58s, you&#8217;d be just as well getting ten SM-58s. Then you are able to have any ratio of each mic depending on the event.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Likewise,if you are on a limited budget and want an instrument mic and a vocal mic, just buy a couple of SM-58s and take the ball tops off when needed for an instrument. This way you have the flexibility to record two vocals\/instruments at once.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SM-58s, by Shure, are
