The Shure Beta 58A is a road-ready, industry standard for live performance mics.
Known for it's bright BRIGHT, clarion sound, it is an easier mic to work with,
from a live sound engineer's perspective, than the popular,
but more problematic (feedback-wise) Shure SM58.
Being SUPERcardiod, the Beta58A has a tighter/closer pickup-pattern,
and so is less prone to feedback---You just sing closer
to a supercardiod mic than a cardioid--Sometimes, almost, or maybe even lightly, touching the mic.
Any engineer will tell you that the extra-brightness of the Beta 58A mic gives you
better sound to work with at the board---It is simple to "darken" a too-bright sound with
a little EQ. But a "too-dark" sound is definitely harder to brighten with EQ
or any engineering manipulation.
For recording, the Beta 58A is OK, mainly for beginners, as a vocal mic.
For advanced/pro recording use, it is good mainly on electric guitar cabs
and some percussion.
And, it is a durable mic, for sure.

While the Shure SM58LC Shure SM58 Vocal Microphone seems to be the running staple for live performance vocals, and rightly so due to its comparative value and amazing quality in sound and craftsmanship, the Beta 58A needs to be given its due. The Beta 58A is an amazing dynamic microphone that might alleviate some of the stress associated with its more cost efficient cousin. That is, the Beta 58A, in the confined live scenarios in which I have utilized it, has demonstrated a much broader sweet spot and completely eliminated some severe feedback issues. For vocalists that like to pull back from the mic a touch to really belt those sustained high (or, really, any) notes the Beta is a dream. This same effect helps if one is experiencing sibilance or "popping" complications and needs to sing past the microphone as opposed to directly into it.
While I wish that I had a better understanding from a sound engineering standpoint so that the technical specifics could be expounded upon, I can confidently say that the Beta 58A is the best vocals microphone that I have ever utilized aside from higher end condenser mics in an isolated environment. Quite honestly, I would not be at all surprised if the Beta compared well even in confined recording situations. The bottom line is that the Beta 58A might be more expensive than its popular cousin, the SM58, but it is worth every penny. Anyone who has the opportunity should give it a chance to demonstrate its superiority. Six out of five stars!

This mike is a good dynamic mike for vocals, but for women it seems to favor the alto voice over soprano. For soprano voice, I still like a condenser mike, especially with a tube pre amp.

I have used Shure PG 58's and this mic is awesome!! Would like to see Shure put a switch on it, but other than that this is by far the best.

This is my second microphone. I bought one a few months ago and decided to get this second one to replace my current microphone that came with the system. Note: This model does not have the ON/OFF switch, but I am OK with this
