Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The M 58 has been specifically designed to satisfy the demands of electric news gathering (ENG) and electronic field production (EFP) applications. Its sophisticated internal shock mount dramatically reduces handling noise, while the microphone's frequency response has been tailored to provide broadcasters with a very accurate and intelligible sound.

The M 58's weight-balanced design provides journalists with a high degree of comfort during lenghty interviews. Its rugged construction enables the microphone to withstand physical and environmental punishment typically encountered during field production operations. The M 58's slim profile and non-glare Nextel finish result in a low profile on camera

This review is from: Beyerdynamic M 58 Dynamic Omnidirectional ENG/EFP Microphone

This mic looks and feels good. The sound actually is "warmer" than others, a real plus, and it is still running after being dropped on hard floors several times. It is Omni directional so I get all then parties involved so I adjust my gain to suit the interviewer. I would recommend this mike to anyone looking in the under $500 class of dynamic ENG mics. The windscreen it comes with is good. The case it comes with is just a simple zip vinyl bag, it's a rugged mic.

Ironically it's code Number is M58, and it certainly lives up to the Shure build quality and exceeds the performance of the 58 for ENG.
