Shure SM48S-LC Cardioid Dynamic Vocal Microphone with On/Off Switch

The Shure SM48S-LC is a vocal microphone that employs a dynamic capsule and a cardioid pickup pattern, giving singers and speakers a clear voice that stays front and center while unwanted room noise falls into the background. Its tailored frequency response stretches from 55 Hz to 14 kHz, shaping the mid-range so words stay intelligible and a gentle bass roll-off keeps proximity effect under control.

A built-in pop filter sits just behind the steel mesh grille, helping you tame plosives and breath noise without the need for extra screens. The cartridge is shock mounted, so bumps and handling noise stay low, even when the mic is hand-held or passed from one performer to another.

For quick muting between songs or speeches, the integrated switch can be locked in place to prevent accidental shutoff. An XLR output lets you plug directly into a mixer, audio interface, or stage box with the most common cable in live sound.

Durability matters when gear travels, so the SM48S-LC ships with a mic clip that threads onto most standard stands and a zippered pouch that keeps dust and scratches at bay. Club vocalists, house-of-worship leaders, event hosts, and podcasters will all find a reliable partner in this microphone without stretching the budget.
