    Makes me Wonder why Blue Yeti existsI've been having issues with background noise for a long time with the "streamer" mics that capture everything in the room. On the advice of an audio engineer on Reddit who explained the difference between dynamic mics like this and condenser mics marketed to streamers. I picked up this mic, an audio interface, a cable and a desk stand for about the same price as each of the 3 condenser mics I'd tried previously. The difference is staggering. The audio is incredibly clear and all of the background noise is gone. Voice sounds incredibly rich.It's not really a fair comparison as far as pro audio goes since I'm not at all an "audio pro" but for streaming and recording youtube videos, this mic absolutely feels and sounds professional compared to what you get with condenser mics and it's kind of ridiculous that you can get this mic, with an interface, cable, and stand, for the same price as a condenser mic.5Too good not to own it!Like many others, I looked at the SM line of Shure mics and from experience and research I can confidently say that they re the best in the business. But I seriously can t see how they re making a dime on this unit. It s just as good as their $99 mic that people swear by and sounds just as good! And at a lower cost!! You have to buy it, and now.I bought this for voiceovers and podcast use... flawless, noise free, and robust. Fantastic value! Dollar for dollar, best bang for your hard earned buck. I would recommend it over any other mic that I own.5I definitely recommend these. Most house systems aren't going to be ...Works as intended. The audio quality seems a bit more "muddled" than my Beta 57 but otherwise it sounds identical to my SM58. If you are on the road or need cheap mics that work really well, I definitely recommend these. Most house systems aren't going to be keen enough to notice any audible difference between this and the SM58 you're already using.4GREAT Microphone. Solid performance I picked up this mic because I am doing sound for a live music web series featuring solo artists all the way up to 5 and 6 piece bands. At first I bought it thinking I would upgrade later to an SM58 when I got some more cash, but honestly I am incredibly pleased with the performance of this microphone and won't be replacing it anytime soon.I read somewhere that this mic is actually better suited to recording purposes because it doesn't have a transformer built in like the SM58. Whether or not it makes a difference, I can say that it seems easier to fit in the mix than an SM58 to me. I borrowed a friends 58 to compare and I came up with an interesting conclusion. The SM48 seems to fit better in the mix with less effort. I just high pass around 180 hz and slightly boost top end around 4k to give it a little more air. It comes out smooth as butter.. With the SM58 I found myself wanting to cut a lot of mid range out because it was almost overbearing. To me, all of this makes perfect sense when discussing qualifications for a live vocal mic used by a lead singer. You would normally want that extra mid range presence in a live setting, but for recording the SM48 wins in my book.Other than sound, the main selling point is value. I expected mediocre results with this mic, especially since I picked it up for $30 but it has absolutely blown me away. I am going to buying at least 2 more in case I come across an artist with several vocalists. The build quality is also great. It's a Shure microphone, and I've never seen a poorly made Shure.For an example of the microphone in use in a live recording, check out this video:[...] 5This has an XLR MALE end.I am disappointed in Shure for allowing Amazon to have WRONG information on it regarding this microphone. The adaptor is extremely important for anyone purchasing it and Shure has absolutely ZERO reference to the MALE XLR end on the mic. So I used a customer review claiming you need the male end cable which is completely wrong.Please fix this for future customers.3You get what you pay for. Build quality is great as expected for Shure, but it's not the same quality as the SM58 at all. It feels like the mic is not "hearing" your voice loud enough. But to be fair I bought this as a secondary mic to use on my experimental pedal board. So for $40 I can't complain much. I use the Beta 87C for my main needs. 4This Will Do The Job For Any Voice Application .Experiences May Vary. And Dont Forget The Windscreens.a Great Lower Cost Version Of The SM 58 Best Used For Voice And Spoken Word And Home Studio Projects And It Will Work For Disc Jockeys On A Tight Budget I Think Its A Great Addition To my Microphone Collection JUST ONE THING TO REMEMBER. You Need a Windscreen for this microphone for The Best Results which will Eliminate Annoying "P Pops" and bring you a Smoother sound overallUPDATE 2/22/2018 I contacted Shure for info concerning the the year the SM48's were first made and they replied and told me the year was 1985 just 19 years after the SM58 was first made its been on the market for Over 33 years like it's older siblings the 58 and 57 there is a good reason for their Longevity Meanwhile.....After doing an A/B comparison of the Sm48 and 58 microphones I reached the conclusion that while there are similarities yet also differences ( to borrow from an album title from the Beatles) I would call the SM 48 " the SM 58 Naked" that is without the inner features of the aforementioned mic and as a result it has More of a Raw sound and can serve as a very worthy Studio Mic for many purposes as I mentioned previously5Great microphone for the price, but not a SM58 at 70% off (if that's what you were thinking)Whether the SM48-LC is the vocal microphone for you depends on your sensitivity to the ratio of quality to price and your personal taste in microphone characteristics. It seems to be a well made instrument, so let's jump to the chase. I spent an afternoon doing A/B comparisons between the SM48 ($30), my nearly-new SM58 ($100), and a nearly-new Chinese SM58 knock-off (Digital Reference DRV-100), which I bought on sale for $10. I compared the three mikes through my P.A. system, with the equalizer flat and reverb settings they way I like them for the SM58, without trying to optimize them for each microphone (seemed like too much work). In addition, I was using the P.A. line out to my Sony MDR-7506 Sound Monitor Headphones, rather than the P.A. speakers, to allow more critical listening. For my voice, P.A., and settings, I found both Shure microphones to be quite usable for a live performance, but the DRV-100 was a distant third for vocal quality.After many comparisons over the course of an afternoon, I found that I do prefer the sound of the SM58 enough that I will continue to use it as my live performance vocal microphone, especially since I already own it, but I would not feel particularly inconvenienced if I had to use the SM48. There are differences in the way they sound, but I'm not sure they would be noticeable, to the average listener, out of the P.A. speakers in a live show. I'm pretty sure that would not be the case for the DRV-100.I then compared the two cheaper microphones, through the same setup, when used as instrument microphones for my 60's era Martin 000-18. Again, there was a lot of difference in the sound. The higher efficiency of the DRV-100 required a gain adjustment each time I swapped instruments, but I kept the equalizer flat. So far I somewhat prefer the DRV-100 as an guitar microphone, probably because I prefer a brighter sound for finger-style work and the SM48 may prove to be fine for instrument use once I fool around with the equalizer.In summary, if it proves to be durable, the SM48-LC is a lot of microphone for the money. It demonstrates the way of the electronic world: you can get a lot of quality for not very much money and you may have to pay a lot more to get something even a little bit better.4Sounds as good as the more expensive SM-58.I bought this mic for a reason most people don't have to consider. I have autoimmune diseases, and was constantly getting sick from using the DJ's mic at karaoke. Now I bring my own, and I haven't gotten sick once. (The DJ is a friend, so she doesn't mind hooking in an extra mic.)I've used SM58s for decades now, and I find the sound quality of this SM48 just as good through my entire range...from the low volume bass voice of Pink Floyd's "Mother" to the high volume screams of Soundgarden's "Outshined." And everything in between.Lastly, I had this mic recommended for my purpose by a credentialed sound engineer, and his recommendation was spot on.5Stick with Shure, pinch here if ya have toI use Shure 58s for the most part but just wanted to pick up one more mic and decided to give this lesser priced mic by Shure a try. Write ups were not bad and thought if nothing else I would use it for putting a mic on a speaker or something. Well it turned out not to be a bad mic at all, not a 58, but great to hand someone and not have to worry about playing mic drop and making ya too mad. It really does well and you won t be upset with buying it. It is better than most of the mic s that clame to be as good as a Shure 58, but aren t, for about the same price as most of those I would pick this guy up instead. It even feels good in your hand.5Used at Woodstock? I can see why, given it was 1969.Maybe not an SM57 or 58, but it works in the recording studio pretty well. Mostly for instruments. I wouldn't recommend recording vocals with it, because the impedance is a bit low, but for drums, etc., it's actually really good. I read somewhere they used these at Woodstock. If that's right, I can see why, given the era.5A must have for podcasting and recording.A must have for podcasting. These microphones are the best at the price range. They are about 1/2 the cost of the SM58 and sound almost the same (I'd love to see someone tell me the difference). I use these in the studio and out on the go. Durable and you can't beat the Shure brand.These are ideal for someone looking to start up in the podcast game. A+5home studio use I bought this mic because I lost my old one several months ago, and because it was on sale for half of what it is supposed to sell for, 29.99 marked down from 62.00. My old mic was an EV brand, can't remember the exact model but it cost between 120$ and 150$ like12 or more years ago. I have to turn this Shure mic up a little more than my old one to get the same level for recording, but it sounds nearly the same. I am using it with a 20 foot "Pro-link" brand cable(12 to 15 years old) into a "Digitech" effects processor(12 to 15 years old) then into a "Fostex" digital 8 track recorder(12 to 15 years old), listening through 100$ Sony headphones(8 to 12 years old). Have only owned this mic for a couple weeks but I hope that by adjusting compression and EQ, and singing at different distances from it, that I will get even better sounds with it in the future. I haven't even messed with reverb yet. Having only owned one other mic before this, and after being without a mic for several months, I have to say that any mic that doesn't sound terrible would sound good to me. I found a mic(plastic casing and grille) that came with a sound card I bought years ago and tried to use it after i lost my EV but it sounded pretty bad no matter what i tried so i decided I would have to break down and spend some money for a new one. So far the biggest problem for me with this mic is keeping the "S" sound from every once in a while being to loud or harsh, this might be something that can be fixed post-recording with editing software if and when I get some, or I may need to force myself to sing a little differently, or perhaps one of those foam things over the grille might help a little. 4
