An affordable Shure with extras

The PGA48 from Shure is a dynamic entry-level microphone from their PG Alta series. Thanks to its cardioid polar pattern and contoured frequency response, the microphone is ideal for use in spoken word and karaoke performances. The microphone's craftsmanship is outstanding, with a robust housing and wire mesh head that safeguard the capsule and internal components from damage. Weighing 300 grams, it offers a comfortable and well-balanced feel in the hand. The PGA48 comes complete with a matching stand mount and an XLR microphone cable, ready for immediate use. Additionally, a convenient zipper pouch is included for easy storage and transport.

Optimised for speech and singing

The Shure PGA48 features a tailored microphone cartridge designed specifically for clarity in the standard frequency range of speech – rather than a flat, linear response. The bass range is reduced to minimise the proximity effect that occurs when speaking close to the mesh head, ensuring vocals remain clear and full without sounding overly bass-heavy, even when a performer's lips are close to the microphone. A presence boost enhances transparency and intelligibility, making vocals stand out with clarity. With a sensitivity of 2.1mV/Pa, it performs as expected for a dynamic microphone. The inclusion of an on/off switch provides added convenience.

Perfect for beginners

The dynamic PGA48 is a great option for aspiring singers performing in casual settings. Its affordable price and impressive sound quality represent fantastic value for money. With extras like a stand mount and microphone cable included as standard, it offers a complete setup right out of the box. The cardioid polar pattern ensures easy handling, allowing for some leniency with off-axis positioning, making it especially suitable for those new to using microphones.

About Shure

The American company Shure began developing microphones during the early 1930s and is one of the pioneers of the audio engineering sector. Models such as the 55 Unidyne – known to many as the "Elvis microphone" – and the SM57 and SM58 which appeared in the mid-1960s are still ubiquitous in live sound production today. They enjoy cult status among musicians and technicians alike. In the 1990s, Shure introduced the first wireless microphones and in-ear monitoring systems and became a market leader in this field. In addition to microphones, Shure offers a wide range of earphones and headphones for studio and live use, as well as various accessories.

Right on the lips

The PGA48 is designed with speech and vocals in mind, making it a great choice for casual performances or karaoke nights with friends. It provides solid sound quality that's perfect for singers who are just getting started. Built to last, it can handle the occasional drop, which is bound to happen during lively karaoke sessions. Just keep it away from moisture and make sure drinks are at a safe distance!

Better than you may think

Peter N. 859 11.02.2019

It's natural to compare this microphone with the much more expensive, industry standard SM58. I think it comes off pretty well, and when price is included it does very well Indeed. I actually prefer it for certain uses as it adds a certain amount of 'gravity' to the higher pitched voice, overall, I like it very much.
Pros: Cheap, Good build quality, Excellent sound considering the price, Versatile, Includes a switch in the price, It's a Shure.
Cons: Taking the price into consideration, absolutely none that I can think of.

Good karaoke microphone

Karaokelad 04.11.2023

The microphones have worked perfectly in a karaoke setting. The sound quality is perfectly fine for amateur singers from what ive heard during the couple years ive had two of these. I have never had any feedback in a small karaoke room so they have nice rejection. They have gotten a few dents but that is not suprising considering the rough handling these go through during late karaoke nights. I like them and could easily recommend them for loud karaoke use!

Good

Anonymous 10.03.2017

Good for its price. It has a switch and includes a cable and a pouch which are a plus. The sound coming of this mic is average... it's the lowest microphone in the shure range, but also the cheapest.
