How does the KSM8 compare to the SM58 or Beta 58A?

No one microphone is the solution to every problem. Even with the KSM8 introduction, it is important to remember that the SM58 is still consistently chosen for a wide variety of vocal applications, from beginners to touring professionals, as the standard by which other microphones are measured. The Beta 58A, designed for increased gain-before-feedback due to its supercardioid polar pattern, offers a higher output level and hardened grille. In a sound reinforcement system, the KSM8 addresses proximity effect (the build-up of bass frequencies) in a manner unique for dynamic microphones.
