The SM58’s best feature is it’s ubiquity (so you know exactly what you’re in for) and how rugged and dependable it is. That’s why they’re everywhere in stage sound IMHO. I don’t really like the sound though. For me it’s lacking in high end. A decent condenser mic (like the 87A for example) will do much better in this regard. Such mics need phantom power but most audio interfaces provide that.
