bro one tip, check mo ung manual niya. makikita mo na agad sa texture kung orig ba e, at tignan mo kung may mga wrong spelling. hehe. pero kahit for 2000 lang na brand new i think mahirap na orig siya. pero hindi ko lang sure.

Walang Shure SM58 na "Made in China".

Ang tunay na Shure SM58 ay gawa sa Mexico.

Wag tayo magpaloko sa mga nagbebenta ng pekeng Shure mic!

kasi kung bibili ka lang naman na fake na shure, might as well bumili ka na lang ng kahit na anong mic, unless yung parts niya original na shure, which i doubt sa sobrang mura, meron akong mga shure pg mics ok na naman para sa akin, but that is just me

sir fredz kung gagamitin nyo sa drums wag sm58 mag sm57 na lang kayo mas maganda yun for that application kasi pang vocals ang sm58 and malamang nga sa fake yung sa lazer sir.

bagtasa · « **Reply #10 on:** December 06, 2005, 12:38:32 PM »

exactly, vocal application ang 58, 57 on the other hand, para sa mga amplified instruments, the best is yun mga drum kit mic sets

togo002 · « **Reply #11 on:** December 06, 2005, 12:42:52 PM »

Well kung pa isa isa lang naman ang kailangan nya eh 57 na di nga lang nya maicclip sa toms kelangan naka stand mahal din kasi ang mic set sir and pwede rin sa drums ang 57 sa cymbals usually ginagamit yun.

pero.. if i take out the windshield.. ung parang metal thing thats covering the mic.. halos kasing tunog na rin daw ng 57's.. nabasa ko sa isang home recording forum.. so mas ok daw kumuha ng 58's kasi mas useful.. although mas mataas ng konti daw ung midrange ng 58's pag tinangal mo daw ung thing ok naman daw..

I think I found the source: http://www.bockmicrophones.com.au/

Doesn't their logo look similar to Bose?

abyssinianson, yes, they make fake SM58s... if you think THAT is indecent? I've seen FAKE PG58s as well!!!! 900 pesos. Talk about lame.

i dont want to sound mean or mayabang pero kung sa authenticity pa lang ng recording gear na hindi pa masyadong critical e me problem na, paano pa kaya kung yung vital portion na ng recording process ang me problema..ito ang reason kung bakit nahuhuli tayo sa ibang bansa sa larangan ng recording. cheap mics pa lang pinoproblema na natin.. saka dapat alisin na natin yung " puwede na yan" attitude. kaya hindi tayo makasabay sa ibang bansa eh. sa kanila they don't compromise things para lang maka tipid. recording technology is a serious business/ endeavor na hindi pwedeng ma achieve sa cheapo equipment. SAYANG lang ang pagod at oras natin kung pipilitin nating mag record tapos maiksi pisi natin. walang iniwan yan sa pagbili ng 4track machine na analog..mura kasi tape lang..tapos bibili ka ng cable, tapos kailangan pala ng reverb, so bili ka kahit na kamo yung pinakamura, tapos , naku wala pala akong headphone para marinig ko..then kailangan ko pala ng compressor. so ok na..nakakapag record na ako.. pero teka.. ililipat ko na sa cd..kailangan ko ng monitor so bili ka..then, ay kelangan ko ng amplifier para tumunog yung speaker. so in essence madami ka ng nagastos para sa isang INFERIOR na recording na sa tingin ko e mas maige pang bumili ka na lang ng cassette at doon ka kumanta sa murang mic patungo sa record input ng cassette player. ito ang reality mga kaibigan... kaya maghinay hinay kayo sa pagbili ng gamit. mahirap huminto sa isang pagbuo ng home studio kapag naumpisahan mo na tapos in the end hindi mo magamit kasi me kulang na piyesa, o hindi ka makahinto kahit alang pera.. take it from me, nanggaling na ako doon- several times at back and forth pa.. hehehe.. sabagay hindi pa din ako natututo.. kaya bahala kayo sa buhay niyo.!!!

i agree with Baldo..in order to sound right and on par with other top notch producers, the Philippine recording producers and recording enthusiasts HAVE to make sure they are using gear that is designed and meant to perform as it should.

As far as mics are concerned and outboard gear, I try and get my items from reputable places that I know deal with authentic items. If I am going to be spending money into this hobby, of sorts, I might as well get my money's worth, right?

jplacson · « **Reply #20 on:** April 29, 2006, 11:31:52 AM »

A lot of the fake Shure mics that I see around are usually the vocal line... PG48 (yes, I just saw one yesterday in a mall), PG58, and the SM58.

Print quality of the packaging is not as sharp... shure logo looks a bit fuzzy... shure logo on mic usually has bleeding.

A fake shure mic is NOT a shure mic..in ANY way.

Budget mics? Both Shure and AKG have decent entry level mic kits. Behringer has affordable mics as well, and I'd pick these over the fake Shure mics any day.

If you're using a Soundblaster... Behringer might be a good match for decent mics at a good price, Shure's PG series will be more than enough to max out SB's capabilities as well and give you more headroom when you upgrade to an MBox or M-Audio.

If you have an MBox/M-Audio... Shure's SM line is the right match at this level (The PG81 condenser will also be fine here)
