Shure SM58 Mic Torture-Tested: Takes a Licking…
The classic SM58 vocal mic has stood up to abuse before, but the Scandinavian-based Studio TV takes it to a new level. Photo of another well-used SM58 by Trendwhore, via Flickr.
Us Americans are wimps. Scandinavians know how to test music gear. As a metal soundtrack pounds away in the background, a Shure SM58 gets subjected to some serious torture testing, including:
- Being used to hammer nails
- Dropped a couple of meters
- Frozen
- Dunked in water
- Driven over by a car
And then something really nasty happens involving Heineken and a microwave.
