Shure SM58 + X2u USB Digital Bundle

Legendary Vocal Clarity for Digital Recording

The Shure SM58 + X2u USB Digital Bundle combines the iconic SM58 cardioid dynamic vocal microphone with the X2u XLR-to-USB Signal Adapter, delivering professional-grade audio for home studios, podcasting, and streaming across Australia. This bundle is designed for plug-and-play convenience, allowing vocalists, podcasters, and content creators to achieve warm, clear vocal reproduction with better-than-CD quality (16-bit/48 kHz) directly to a computer, no additional audio interface required. The bundle includes essential accessories for immediate setup and reliable performance.

Pristine Audio with Versatile Control

The SM58 microphone, the industry standard for live vocals, features a cardioid polar pattern that isolates the sound source, minimizing background noise and feedback. Its tailored frequency response (50 Hz – 15 kHz) with a brightened midrange and bass roll-off delivers warm, crisp vocals, ideal for singing, voice-overs, and podcasting. The integrated pneumatic shock mount and spherical steel-mesh grille reduce handling noise and plosives, ensuring clean recordings. The X2u adapter enhances versatility with a built-in preamplifier, microphone gain control, and zero-latency headphone monitoring via a 1/8″ (3.5mm) jack. Monitor Mix Control allows blending of microphone and playback audio, and the adapter provides phantom power for compatibility with condenser microphones, making it a flexible solution for various recording needs.

Durable Design and Easy Setup

The SM58 is renowned for its rugged construction, with a durable steel-mesh grille and dependable performance under rigorous use, perfect for both studio and mobile recording. The X2u adapter offers plug-and-play USB connectivity, compatible with Windows (Vista, XP, 7, 8, 10) and Mac OS X (10.1 or later), ensuring seamless integration with most computers and recording software. The bundle includes a swivel stand adapter for flexible positioning, a 3m (9.8 ft) USB cable for connectivity, and two storage bags for safe transport. Note that the SM58 requires close miking for optimal sound, and the X2u’s gain may need adjustment to avoid clipping in high-SPL scenarios. Users report excellent audio quality but suggest experimenting with mic distance to manage proximity effect.
