Talk:Shure Beta 58A

Merge
I think this should be merged into Shure SM58 (and redirected). Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 00:25, 6 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Now it should not be merged, but info that was removed from the other article should be added here. Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 14:52, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

Please offer your thoughts at Articles for deletion/Shure Beta 58A. See you there! Binksternet (talk) 16:50, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

Podcasting??
Was this mike developed for poscasting (as the article says) when podcasting didn't exist until 20 years later? Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 00:42, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
 * This mic was released in 2006, according to Sound On Sound, so the Podcasting claim makes sense. Greenshinobi (talk) 16:45, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
 * The Beta 58 mic was released in 1989. The updated 'A' model (this article's topic) won a TEC Award in 1996. The SOS article is also from 1996. The mic was absolutely not made for podcasting. Podcasting developed from about 2000 to 2004. Binksternet (talk) 17:09, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm so sorry. I was simply repeating the podcasting claim made by Shure on their website. http://www.shure.com/americas/products/microphones/beta/beta-58a-vocal-microphone .  I'm wrong about the SOS article being 2006. It was 1996.  I never made the claim it was made for podcasting, only that it was a plausible use.Greenshinobi (talk) 02:11, 12 October 2011 (UTC)


 * No sweat. Shure's marketing department must have got hold of the page and put podcasting on it. Binksternet (talk) 03:52, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

List of 'Users'
I don't think this list is of any value. Most live artists will use this mic at some point of their career. 91.96.99.250 (talk) 15:41, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Not all will. I recently picked up an earful of grief from a band who expected to be supplied SM58s on stage and were unimpressed to be given Beta 58s instead. Comments like "cheap, toy microphones" were used. I pointed out that if they were good enough for Pete Townsend (which I only knew from this article), they could STFU...
 * One value of this article is in clarifying why they're different from the venerable SM58, and why they aren't just a cheap substitute for it. Andy Dingley (talk) 16:40, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

White balance
The "users" list is very, very white. 2607:FEA8:BFA0:47F:4952:BE6C:8BCC:3B0 (talk) 19:14, 26 March 2019 (UTC)
