Product Overview
The Shure R59 is the OEM replacement cartridge for the Shure SM58 dynamic vocal microphone, delivering performance equal to the original factory-installed cartridge. The SM58 is one of the most widely deployed vocal microphones in live sound, house of worship, government facilities, and commercial AV installations, making the R59 a critical service part for organizations managing SM58 fleets. The R59 restores the SM58's characteristic 50–15,000 Hz cardioid response optimized for vocal applications.
Product Description
The R59 is a genuine Shure replacement cartridge that maintains the tailored frequency response and bass rolloff that the SM58 is known for in live vocal reinforcement. Installation follows the same wire-coded solder procedure as the R57, with the green wire attached to the terminal marked by an embossed plus sign. For venues, rental companies, and commercial AV integrators maintaining large SM58 inventories, the R59 provides a manufacturer-sourced repair component that avoids the cost of full microphone replacement. The cartridge ships with Shure's official installation instructions.
