Hello and welcome to The House of Chrome.

 You are looking at a classic Shure Brothers dynamic cardioid microphones from the 1980's that has been cleaned and tested. This is the 2nd generation American made SM58 model that was 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 40 + years later this mic still sounds as good as the day it was sold. The mic comes with a newer Shure A25 model mic clip, new exterior Auray black foam pop filter as well as the older black vinyl Shure mic pouch in which to store. 

 The design of the SM-58 didn't change over the years but the paint scheme and label did. Also, the American made SM-58 apparently utilized better material and had better quality control from what I have been told. This 2nd gen mic has the darker grey / black paint scheme.   Possibly charcoal? Not sure the exact color code?

 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 they just don't measure up like the originals made in America.

 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. 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.

 As you can see there are typical lite signs of wear on the painted handle. It does have some small paint chips, scratches and discoloration. You can see there is a lite engraving on the handle as well. The front globe looks very good but has been cleaned. Just lite tarnish. No odors or dents. The inner foam insert / pop filter on the capsule was replaced as the original was all but falling apart. The globe inner pop filter was replaced as well however. 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. 

 You'll see I'm including the brand new Auray brand exterior pop filter that fits the mic like a glove and compliments the mic but it really cleans up the tone of the mic. You won't need it for all situations but it's there in case you do.

 The microphone is a very conservative 7 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 a newer Shure A25 model mic clip. It's in great condition and grips the mic firmly. It's an all plastic design that provides a good amount of tilt up and down and it will screw onto any desk or floor stand.

 An original black vinyl Shure mic pouch is also included which is in excellent condition. It's a great place to store the mic when not in use and the zipper works perfectly. Very lite exterior wear and the zipper works great.

 If you demand a great 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. These mics were just built to last.
