anyway get a 57 and a pop filter if you are forced to choose between the two.

They are the same mic, the grill is the only difference. A 58 without the grill IS a 57.Rymarks said:So what is quality like when you compare a sm58 (with no "grille) to a sm57?

Wow, ten years.
I was eleven when you guys started talking about microphones.
I always assumed that the sm57 would do my guitar better justice than the 58 because of all the studios that I'd seen equipped with it.
It looks like the 58 without the grille is the way to go. Should I use a double pop filter at least?
An SM58 is a dynamic mic, not a condenser mic. Any condenser at this price will be a really cheap one. A 58 is a good mic because it does a reasonable job at just about everything, even though it might not be the first choice for a lot of things.after reading this thread, i think i'm going to go with the sm58 because i need a strictly vocal mic for studio recording at home
unless someone can suggest a better condenser mic at around the same price range?
i'm aware the sm58 isn't a condenser mic. i was just assuming that condenser mics costed a lot more so i was wondering if there was a condenser at this price range that is good; i guess not thoughAn SM58 is a dynamic mic, not a condenser mic.

i also decided to go with the sm57 instead now from what i researched in other forums. a lot of comments saying the sm57 was better for studio vocal recording or it was just in their head
Try checking out the MXL V67a they are just about the same price.
The SM58 would probably survive it.This thread will go on for eternity. Even if a Mars-sized asteroid hits Earth.
