Digitally record wherever and whenever your computer takes you with this Shure SM58-X2U, which includes the SM58 vocal microphone and X2u USB Signal Adapter. Designed for professional vocal use in live performance, sound reinforcement, and studio recording, Shure's SM58 unidirectional (cardioid) dynamic vocal microphone has a tailored vocal response for a sound that is a world standard for singing or speech. A highly effective, built-in spherical filter minimizes wind and breath "pop" noise, and a cardioid pickup pattern isolates the main sound source while minimizing unwanted background noise.

 

With the Shure X2U Signal Adapter, you can connect the SM58 (or any other XLR-connected mic) to your PC for easy digital recording. Perfect for multi-track recording, the X2u features built-in headphone monitoring with zero latency, and easy controls to balance microphone and playback audio.
