Shure Microphones

The next step in my podcasting adventure will be to select a microphone, for recording podcasts here at home, in my "studio". Now, why would I want another microphone, when the Zoom H4N has clearly a clean, quality sound to it? Well, I can't answer that question yet, which may be why I have not purchased a microphone! Anyway, here's a thorough comparison of the Shure SM57 vs the SM58 microphones. As a video, this one stands out. Not only does it show the difference in the sounds, but it also explains the differences, which are quite subtle, and also adds writing on the screen to summarize the more detailed information. I don't normally watch videos over 5 minutes long, but this 17-min expose was worth it.
