Shure SM48 Cardioid Dynamic Vocal Microphone

For vocalists seeking a professional-grade dynamic mic at a budget-friendly value, the Shure SM48-LC delivers. This handheld cardioid microphone combines many of the sound qualities that have made the legendary SM58 a studio and stage standard, in a more accessibly priced package. With its tailored frequency response, durable metal construction and integrated pop filter, the SM48-LC is an excellent choice for singers looking to take their live performances or recordings to the next level.

Focused Pickup Pattern Cuts Through the Mix

The SM48-LC employs a cardioid polar pattern optimized to capture your vocals with clarity and presence while rejecting off-axis noise and ambience. This tight pickup pattern allows you to dial in just the right amount of room sound so your voice cuts cleanly through the mix without excessive bleed. And with the SM48-LC's superior gain before feedback, you can take advantage of every last dB without worrying about squeals. Whether belting out choruses on a loud stage or crooning intimately into the mic, your vocals will shine.

Rugged Build Withstands Years of Gigging

Like all Shure mics, the SM48-LC is built to withstand the rigors of live performance. Its die-cast metal construction feels reassuringly solid in the hand. The steel-mesh grille protects the capsule from moisture and debris. And a built-in shockmount decouples the cartridge from handling noise, minimizing thumps and rattles. Whether you're on the road or tracking vocals in the studio, the SM48-LC delivers reliable performance night after night.
