A built-in spherical filter minimizes wind and breath "pop" noise, while the cardioid pickup pattern isolates the main sound source while minimizing unwanted background noise. The microphone offers durable construction, a high-quality internal shockmount system, and a steel mesh grille for withstanding rough handling. The SM58-LC is designed to perform consistently both outdoors and indoors and when used for singing or speech applications. The microphone includes a microphone clip and a zippered pouch.
