Description
The SM48 unidirectional dynamic microphone is a great performance microphone. It maintains a true cardioid pattern throughout its frequency range, ensuring high gain before feedback and rejection of off-axis sound. The tailored frequency response is ideal for lead vocals, backup vocals, and spoken word applications. A presence rise brightens mid-range performance, and a low frequency roll off controls proximity effect. The SM48 includes a shock- mounted cartridge, a steel mesh grille, and an integral "pop" filter.

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.

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.

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.

The first SM48 I received from Amazon was defective. Amazon promptly sent me a replacement after I returned the bad one. Great job Amazon! I had my replacement the next day! The replacement is working great and it sounds pretty good for a budget mic. I never expected this mic to be a high end microphone at this price point but for what it is I'm pleased with the sound quality. I run it into an old Symetrix 528E voice processor and the two work well together. I do not need a preamp for the SM48 to drive the 528. This mic would be ideal for a church that needs good PA mics on a budget or even a band that's just starting out. Although there is a slight difference in sound quality between the SM48 and it's famous big brother the SM58, most people won't hear it on a PA system or in a live setting. If budget is not a concern, get the SM58, but if your money is tight but you need a decent mic, this will do the job nicely for you.

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.

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.
