Hello and welcome to The House of Chrome.

  You are looking at a classic Shure Brothers dynamic cardioid microphones from the late 1990's or 2000 ear that has been cleaned and tested. This is either the later Mexican made SM58 model or the newer Chinese model and factory set at low impedance. This mic is a rugged design with studio sound quality that was the industry standard and so well made that even 30 + years later this mic still sounds as good as the day it was sold. The mic comes with a nice Shure A55M shock mount model mic clip for improved sound performance.

 Pic # 2 shows a data sheet of the older American SM58 and all of it's characteristics.

 Pic # 3 shows an older SM58 with an equally nice SM-59 model mic and their basic characteristics.

 This mic was used by almost every musician and broadcaster under the sun. A favorite model for Bruce Springsteen for almost a decade and you'll see in pic # 4 a young Donna Summers using one live while performing. The newer SM-58's have been made in China for the past 25 years but this was the Mexican made model before all manufacturing was moved to China.

 The Low Z setting makes this mic ideal for general broadcasting and singing. The SM-58 has a very warm, smooth tone with a fair amount of bass. These are set to 600 OHMS. Excellent uni-directional characteristics as well. These mics are built like tanks and properly taken care of there is no reason this mic can't last 100 years. A real workhorse and one of the most rugged Shure mics ever built.

  The mic has 100% output with zero issues and the XLR pins were cleaned for a perfect connection once the XLR cable is attached though no cable is provided. The SM58 is all metal design with a stock painted finish.

 This mic is far from physically perfect but it's pretty darn nice. As you can see there are very lite signs of wear on the painted handle in the form of scratches, discoloration and some tiny paint chips where the cable attaches. The front globe looks really nice overall. Zero tarnish, odors or dents. The inner foam insert / pop filter was not replaced as the original is in perfect condition. I almost always replace these as the older ones are usually in rough and degraded condition. It helps greatly with acoustics and prevents the dreaded "pops" from breathing or windy conditions. The Shure label looks really nice and completely legible. 

 The microphone is a very conservative 8 on a scale of 1 - 10 physically speaking though the real beauty of this mic is the sound it produces. Hook this up and you are ready for any live event.

 The mic clip is an older Shure A55M model. It's in excellent condition and grips the mic firmly.   It's a partial plastic & metal design that provides a good amount of tilt up and down and it will screw onto any desk or floor stand.

 The A55M is a shock mount that reduces vibration making it excellent for situations where feedback might be an issue. The internal rubber donut is soft, flexible and works perfectly with zero wear. These generally sell for around $40.00 a piece.

 If you demand an affordable, older American SM-58 out there to use on the daily then this just might be for you. She's got several decades of life left in her and she sounds like new. These mics were just built to last.

 You're better off buying a used older SM-58 than a newer one on Ebay as many of the "new in box" SM-58's are actually cheap knock offs that sound terrible. If you are paying under $100.00 for a new SM-58 on Ebay you are absolutely getting a counterfeit mic.

      MICROPHONE STAND SHOWN IS FOR DISPLAY PURPOSES ONLY...NOT PART OF THIS SALE.

                 And as always...

 I can promise you will be happy with it for the price paid. If not...I have a no hassle return policy. The return shipping will be on you as I believe that's fair but the purchase price would be refunded. Simply return in the same nice condition...period. Check my rating. INTERNATIONAL BUYERS are welcome as well. BUYER MUST PAY WITHIN 24 HOURS or will lose rights to this item, unpaid item report will be filed and will be relisted. If you don't intend on buying this...do not commit to buy please. Domestic buyer will get priority shipping.

 If you have any questions feel free to ask and...thanks for looking.
