Dubbed ‘the world’s most popular microphone’, Shure’s SM58 has been a staple of live performance for more than 50 years. Marking the five decades of its design, durability, popularity and performance, its manufacturer has released a 50th Anniversary model, and announced a programme to celebrate its success.
Among these, there will be a charitable auction of specially-designed SM58 artist editions; the launch of a comprehensive, multi-lingual website packed with historical information, artist photos, videos and fan stories; customer engagement activities, including the ability for fans to share their experiences and memorable moments on social media and through a video project submission
The SM58-50A Limited Edition boasts all of the attributes and technical specs of the SM58, along with a silver finish and printed denotation of the 50th Anniversary on the handle. Highlighting historically-inspired packaging, this model ships with a commemorative certificate, photo print, historical user guide and a celebratory sticker.
‘The SM58 has been at the centre of unforgettable musical performances for 50 years and has left its mark on generations of audiences and performers,’ says Shure Product Specialist, Soren Pedersen. ‘Truly, it was born to perform, and any performer who picks up an SM58 in 2016 can depend on that same great sound that so many have shared in. We are thrilled and honoured to celebrate this milestone and look forward to hearing about the experiences of SM58 fans from around the world.’
