  1. OK the sure can not pass the mold test sample try it in a mold room area no fresh air for one year and the way you will know it is not working

  2. look inside if you see the soft tissue molded it will look green i got this from spraying air cleaners and i locked up my studio mic room for one year yes mold can kill the sure your spit can also kill your mic if you don’t clean it.

  3. so i have to replace my sure sm58 funny it does not sound the same the new sure sm58 is smaller why the change look up that fact plus the highs are not the same. i miss my old moldy sm57 larger frame lucky i did not toss my old sm57 frame it sound better with the old larger frame

  4. Love these mics own bout 20.

    One particular night tearing down during a horrible rainstorm threw a 58 into a cable bin and forgot bout the bin. The bin filled w water and bout a week later discovered the mic in the bottom of the bin filled with water. Got mad and threw the mic really hard across stage hooked it up still worked fine. All need to do is replace windscreen.

    Да и нахуя пивом то если в воде уже побывало?
    И да, пиво жалко Т_Т
