My Project

The Shure SM58 microphone will be of great use in the classroom for both recording and live presentations. We are instituting an Audio Engineering course in our school and each and every microphone in the classroom will be a precious commodity. We have also been increasing the number of performances in front of audiences and need to project our voices electronically!

This specific microphone is the standard for a Master of Ceremonies, as well as a gold standard recording microphone.

The other items in the cart will help us maintain our brass instruments and help our percussionists stay sharp with tempos.

Thank you for visiting this project page!
