The SM58: Good Enough for Bono, Good Enough for You

Today’s vocal mic market can be overwhelming—especially with wireless systems letting you change heads like you’re swapping pieces on a Lego X-Wing Fighter. A $100 SM58 capsule? Done. A Neumann KK 105 at ten times the cost? Yours if you’ve got the cash. For young...
