  • Shure quality at a reasonable price.
Style: Standard
One thing I noticed about this Shure SM48-LC is that it is very directional... Meaning you're not going to be singing through the side of the windscreen. It's got to be placed so the microphone is picking up signals through the very end. This is a good feature as it cuts out a lot of the other noises that you may experience on stage or while practicing in your garage. I think it might work nicely as an instrument microphone such as augmenting an acoustic guitar, although I haven't tried that yet. Shure is a world renowned manufacturer of sound equipment and this particular model lives up to its name. The price is very reasonable and I recommend this microphone to anyone. ... show more

  • Good Budget Dynamic XLR
Style: Standard
Surprisingly good quality for something I bought for ~$40, I can definitely recommend it for people needing a dynamic mic for XLR on a budget.

  • Not a great mic for singing
Style: On/Off Switch
It might work for background vocals. It is certainly well built, but we compared it to our SM58S mics and it does not compete well. My singers hated it and returned it for another 58s. If you are looking for a well built, reliable mic for doing announcements, this might be great, but don'e make somebody sing through it. ... show more

  • Does its job well
Style: Standard
Bought this on a whim, and was deeply pleased with it. Previous mic was a $170 condenser microphone that was extremely sensitive, and it picked up all manner of irritating background noise. Despite being a budget model, this mic instantly cut through both computer and box fans with significantly clearer vocals and less noise. I'd like a little more clarity on the high frequencies, but for what it does, this unit is a beast. Looking forward to buying an upper level Shure mic next time. ... show more

  • Shure, one of the best brands microphone.
Style: Standard
Got this microphone for my JBL Party Box 320 for the occasional karaoke party. I didn't think a microphone makes that much of a difference and boy I was wrong. I had used the cheaper $10 all plastic one and didn't realize the voice sounds horrible and has a metallic sound to it. Switch to this and man it really cleaned up the sounds. It was a night a day difference. Great mic and you know you can't go wrong with Shure. ... show more

  • Great for all ranges..
Style: On/Off Switch
Whether you are a motivational speaker, have a podcast or are the lead singer in a rock band. This could be your microphone! Produces a GREAT sound for a disrespectfully small amount of money. Don’t know how they do it but shove your money in their hand and take off running! Great product at a good price point. One of the last true values out there. It’s a wired mic, that’s fine.. Don’t be prissy about it. Wireless is not a necessity for “all” people. Every mic I ever saw growing up was wired. If it was good enough for Bruce Springsteen and Martin Luther King, it’s good enough for you doing much less important things. Those of you who are audio engineers and can tell the ever so slight difference between mics and small incremental adjustments in sound levels. Then get the $750 mic that you’ve been looking at. For people that only have a small budget and aren’t recording or want it to be wireless or to do things with sound regular people don’t even know how to do. This is more than sufficient. I use mine with a broadcast speaker to share the Gospel of Christ, speaking and for singers to sing and the sound is warm and beautiful. Sounds like it cost 10x more than it did. ... show more
