Customer reviews about Shure SM 48 LC – Thomann United Arab Emirates

A

Best budget vocal mic

Anonymous 27.01.2016

I have two SM58s as main vocal mics for acoustic gigs with a good quality PA and they are just as good as you would expect. I also have two cheaper mics (Samson and a Thomann T-bone) which are acceptable but need care with EQ.

But having tried the SM48 I would not buy any other budget mic. It's not as warm-sounding as the 58, which I would always choose first, but as a backup mic it's perfect. It's a bit brighter but the same solid Shure quality. If it was the only mic available I would have no qualms about using it whereas the other cheap ones always feel like second best.

And of course it has the professional look, nobody will be thinking, "hmmm cheap mics."

I just wish there was an SM47

Shure quality

These arte one step down from the SM58 but they are fantastic. If the SN58 is out of your price reach you can't go wrong with these

Worth every penny

OrtonE 14.06.2020

Although 50% cheaper than SM58 it's not any worse (I have few of both).
A bit darker than dearer model, but nothing that could not be fixed with a bit of EQ. Slightly different characteristics that is more subject to personal taste rather than quality. Perfect for backing vocals, quite warm in sound. Totally recommended.

Absolutely adequate

Teutonic Terror 06.09.2020

I use it to sing live backing vocals. I'm not enough of a sound geek to be able to critique the finer points of this mike, but it's solidly constructed and does what it's expected to do. It's a little less expensive than the venerable SM58 and, for my purposes, perfectly adequate.

Not just a poor mans 58!!!

Claydon 23.09.2015

I found one of these lying around at a venue I was engineering in, had never heard of an SM48 before. Used it out of curiosity alongside SM58s for the gig and I preferred the SM48 by a long way, so decided to buy one. I cant believe how much cheaper they are than 58's.. They sound similar to a 58, about the same output level, but many will find the 48 to give a more flattering vocal sound. Great feedback rejection too.

Great value for money

MattKarmios 26.12.2015

Great sounding vocal mic. Nice and rugged and nice feeling product
Very little sound difference between this and an SM58
Only down side is the pop shield is slightly more flimsy, so may not survive as long as a BETA58 on tour, but for venue use they are great value for money.

A 58 for a lot less

GingerDrage 09.08.2018

Secondary mics? All round mics? You don't trust some musicians on stage with your 58? Give them this. They won't know the difference and you can save a lot of money as well.

Good mic, totally worth the money (50€)

Reeman 04.02.2021

The microphone does its job.
Very good sound quality, nice and sturdy feel.

Only downside: I wish it had a switch to turn it on/off.
Luckily the 'JTS MA-SW' works just fine, so for another 20 bucks you can get the missing switch.
