General

Shure's SM48 and SM48S unidirectional dynamic microphones were designed for professional sound recordings, studio recordings, and TV and radio broadcasts. Both microphones feature professional components and a cardioid pickup pattern, ensuring that most of the sound in front of the mic is captured, as well as a little from the sides. Their frequency range was tailored for speech, delivering outstanding mid-range performance. The SM48 is even equipped with an internal pop filter, and comes with a shock mount and a practical carrying bag.

The main difference between the SM48 and the SM48S is the latter's on/off switch. Whether or not you need such a switch, depends on how you're planning to use the mic. An on/off switch puts performing artists in control of their own sound while they're on stage, but also has its drawbacks. Even artists are only human, after all, and might be prone to fiddling with their mic, especially if they are nervous. If an artist accidentally flips the switch on stage, the sound will be cut off. For that reason, Shure offers two versions of their SM48 microphone. Take your pick!

Heel goede microfoon voor dit geld! Goede geluidkwaliteit. Perfect om vocals mee op te nemen of gewoon te praten.

J'ai acheté ce micro en remplacement d'un vieux micro "no name" qui ne fonctionnait plus. Il est utilisé pour les répétitions de mon groupe, rien à redire par rapport au précédent. Il faut noter cependant qu'il manque cruellement de sensibilité, il faut littéralement "manger" le micro pour être capté lors de chants doux... Avec un bon pré-ampli avec un gain de sortie assez élevé on s'en sort tout de même.

Een hele fijne microfoon, ik gebruik hem om in mijn DJ-booth te presenteren. Geen gerommel met een aan/uit knop. De microfoon voelt heel degelijk aan, en voelt ook niet goedkoop aan.

Prima Microfoon! Niet goed opgelet, want het zou fijn zijn als er een aan/uit schakelaar op had gezeten.
Dag na bestelling binnengekomen. Helemaal volgens afspraak.

Hele fijne microfoon. Ik gebruik de SM48 voor het presenteerwerk tijdens DJ show's.
over het algemeen heb ik geen last gehad van rondzingers "de hoge piepen" in luidruchtige omgevingen en is de spraak prima verstaanbaar. dus ook voor DJ werk en MC's is dit een geschikte kandidaat.

Ik moet eerlijk toegeven dat ik behalve de prijs geen verschil kan vinden tussen deze microfoon en zijn duurdere broer de SM58.

J'ai acheté en connaissance de cause cet excellent microphone, car il se comporte très bien dans un espace réverbéré comme une église; il est robuste, relativement performant en bande passante pour un micro dynamique. Son seul bémol serait peut être une sensibilité un peu faible mais il suffit de pousser le gain.
