Merge
editI think this should be merged into Shure SM58 (and redirected). Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 00:25, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
- Now it should not be merged, but info that was removed from the other article should be added here. Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 14:52, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

Podcasting??
editWas this mike developed for poscasting (as the article says) when podcasting didn't exist until 20 years later? Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 00:42, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
- This mic was released in 2006, according to Sound On Sound, so the Podcasting claim makes sense. Greenshinobi (talk) 16:45, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
- The Beta 58 mic was released in 1989. The updated 'A' model (this article's topic) won a TEC Award in 1996. The SOS article is also from 1996. The mic was absolutely not made for podcasting. Podcasting developed from about 2000 to 2004. Binksternet (talk) 17:09, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
- I'm so sorry. I was simply repeating the podcasting claim made by Shure on their website. http://www.shure.com/americas/products/microphones/beta/beta-58a-vocal-microphone . I'm wrong about the SOS article being 2006. It was 1996. I never made the claim it was made for podcasting, only that it was a plausible use.Greenshinobi (talk) 02:11, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

- No sweat. Shure's marketing department must have got hold of the page and put podcasting on it. Binksternet (talk) 03:52, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
List of 'Users'
editI don't think this list is of any value. Most live artists will use this mic at some point of their career. 91.96.99.250 (talk) 15:41, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
- Not all will. I recently picked up an earful of grief from a band who expected to be supplied SM58s on stage and were unimpressed to be given Beta 58s instead. Comments like "cheap, toy microphones" were used. I pointed out that if they were good enough for Pete Townsend (which I only knew from this article), they could STFU...
- One value of this article is in clarifying why they're different from the venerable SM58, and why they aren't just a cheap substitute for it. Andy Dingley (talk) 16:40, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
White balance
editThe "users" list is very, very white. 2607:FEA8:BFA0:47F:4952:BE6C:8BCC:3B0 (talk) 19:14, 26 March 2019 (UTC)
