I would bet a million dollars it is an Shure SM58.

Because it had a nice case. Case closed.

 

[dabluesman]

So it's just a 58 with a different pop filter/grille?

 

[studiomaster]

Is the 58's really clear?

Looked to me to be a Shure UHF-R wireless with Shure's new KSM9 capsule. Take a look at the transmitter here:

It's either the KSM9 capsule or possibly the SM87 capsule, but the SM87 isn't that popular. My money's on the KSM9.
