ShureSM58S Mic With Switch
1/5
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The standard handheld vocal mic with an on/off switch added. For singers and speakers who need to cut the mic themselves between songs or announcements.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Live vocals where you need to mute between songs
- Houses of worship and podiums with roaming speakers
- Rehearsal rooms and loud stages with drums nearby
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Studio vocal detail — a condenser captures more air and top end
- Venues that mute at the board and ban onstage switches
- Anyone needing high output on a quiet preamp
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Cardioid pattern
Picks up mostly what's in front, so wedges and nearby amps bleed in less and you get more gain before feedback.
Detail 03
126dB max SPL
You can put it on a screaming vocalist or inside a loud stage wash without the capsule folding.
Detail 04
50Hz–15kHz response
Rolls off above 15k, so sibilance and cymbal wash stay tamed rather than harsh.
Detail 05
On/off switch
You control mute at the mic. Also means the switch can get bumped mid-set or left off by mistake.
Detail 06
No phantom power required
Plugs into any mixer channel and works, including older boards with no phantom at all.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No XLR cable included — you'll need one to plug in
- 02Ships with a case and a stand clip; no stand
- 03Sound engineers often prefer the switchless SM58 to avoid accidental mutes
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What's the difference between the SM58S and the regular SM58?
The S adds an on/off switch on the body. The capsule, cardioid pattern and sound are the same.
02Do I need phantom power for the SM58S?
No. It's a dynamic mic and runs off the mixer channel with no power at all.
03Does it come with a cable?
No cable. You get the mic, a stand clip and a case. Buy an XLR cable separately.
04Can I use it for recording vocals at home?
Yes, though it needs a decent amount of preamp gain and gives a darker, more focused sound than a condenser.
