Wired microphones are the cornerstone of any sound system. Qualifying your customer’s needs and budget will start you in the right direction 
for microphone selection. Shure’s product philosophy is to provide good, better and best ranges for vocal and instrument microphones, 
starting with the “PG Series”, progressing to the “SM Series” and culminating with the “Beta Series”.  For permanent installations for speech 
or conferencing uses, select from the Shure “MX Series”.  This is a comprehensive range of gooseneck and boundary type mics for podiums, 
lecterns, boardroom tables and even wireless boundary mics for quick turnaround of conference facilities.  Recognised as the industry’s 
leading microphone manufacturer, no other microphone company has the Shure depth of engineering horsepower and industry knowledge 
(over 80 years of experience). The SM58 alone has a 40 year heritage in the professional audio industry and is still the global standard in hand 
held microphones.
