With its robust design and high-quality sound output, the SM48-LC Cardioid Dynamic Handheld Wired Microphone is an excellent choice for aspiring singers, professional sound reinforcement, studio recording, and broadcasting applications. This dynamic microphone, part of Shure's esteemed SM series, offers many of the advantages of the renowned SM58, making it a reliable and affordable option for those seeking superior audio quality.
The SM48-LC features a true cardioid polar pattern across its entire frequency range, ensuring high gain before feedback and exceptional rejection of off-axis sound. This makes it ideal for capturing sound sources directly in front of the microphone while minimizing background noise, enhancing the clarity and quality of your vocals or instrumentals.
The tailored frequency response of this microphone is specifically designed for vocal performances. It includes a presence rise that brightens mid-range performance, providing a warm and rich sound that can make any voice stand out. Additionally, a low-frequency rolloff effectively controls the proximity effect, ensuring a balanced and clear audio output even when the source is close to the microphone.
Constructed with a shock-mounted cartridge, the SM48-LC is designed to withstand the rigors of live performances and studio sessions. The durable steel mesh grille protects the microphone element, while the integral "pop" filter reduces plosive sounds that can interfere with your audio quality. For added convenience, the SM48-LC features an XLR connector for easy integration with your sound system or recording equipment.
Whether you're a rising singer, a professional speaker, or a musician, the SM48-LC Cardioid Dynamic Handheld Wired Microphone offers the reliability, versatility, and high-quality sound that Shure is known for.
