How do I set up my Shure SM58 microphone?
Placement
- Aim the microphone toward the desired sound source (such as the talker, singer, or instrument) and away from unwanted sources.
- Place the microphone as close as practical to the desired sound source.
- Work close to the microphone for extra bass response.
- Use only one microphone to pick up a single sound source.

Why is my Shure mic not working?
If the microphone connections are not properly matched to the device’s input connector, there may be no audio, or funny sounding audio, or the microphone might be damaged if there is an unexpected voltage appearing on the device’s connection points.
Does Shure make USB microphones?
A legend in audio, Shure designed the MV5 to connect and record via Lightning or USB directly to your phone, without sound distortion. Use vocal, instrument or flat settings to customise your recording — and the ShurePlus™ MOTIV™ audio app for pro editing on-the-go.
Why is the Shure SM7B so popular?
The result is that the SM7B is optimised for low end response (the deep, big bass sound heard in many of today’s recordings). The shock mount is optimised to reduce stand vibrations. The recent rise in podcasting has helped the SM7B too, as demand has increased for high-quality voice-over mics at an affordable price.
How can I connect my microphone to my computer?
To connect a professional microphone to a computer, you will need to bypass the computer sound card and use a USB interface, such as the Shure MVi or X2u USB Adapter. These are high quality microphone preamps with a USB computer interface. They are an outboard audio interface.
Do you need a soldering iron for a mic?
Unless you’re handy with a soldering iron, you’re going to need a special cable like the RP325. Still, even with your mic plugged in, you might not be all that satisfied with the sound quality of your recordings.
Can a mic be plugged into a laptop?
These days, there are plenty of great USB mics offering high-quality audio and plug-and-play convenience for computer recording. But they’re not always the solution for everyone. Perhaps you already have a traditional microphone you’d like to use with your laptop or maybe you’re after a distinct sound that a USB model simply can’t provide.
