Key Features
Product Ref: 160239
The RC-505 is highly versatile, perfect for vocal looping, club performers and beatboxing. The compact design features five stereo tracks which you can utilise to create complex loops. Build and control your loops with ease with the intuitive layout and even incorporate effects to add texture.
The five tracks feature their own dedicated controls comprised of: Record, overdub, play and stop. This allows you to quickly build your loops, from percussion to harmonies and everything in between. You can even utilise a click-track through headphones to keep in time. Each channel also features its own volume fader for controlling the levels on the fly. You can also sample to up to three hours, giving you a massive amount of room to create ever-evolving live performances. From beatboxers to acoustic vocalists to DJs, the RC-505 is one of the most versatile performance tools you could have in your arsenal.
The Boss RC-505 also includes a wide range of powerful onboard effects, perfect for adding colour and texture to your vocals. The effects are arranged into two different categories: Input FX and Track FX. Input FX can be used whilst you are recording vocal loops whereas Track FX allows you to add further effects after recording and during playback. You can utilise the various effects using the six dedicated buttons.
The powerful onboard effects include Robot, Vocoder, Vinyl Flick, Beat Repeat and more. There is also a global compressor and reverb effects available for the overall master sound output. You can also utilise parameters like the cutoff filter and effect depth to create build-ups and transitions. With the version 2.0 update, the RC-505 also includes a range of brand-new effects such as Ring Modulator, Slow Gear, Pitch Bend and more. You can now also utilise up to three effects, which can be used simultaneously in both the Input FX and Track FX sections for added control.
Not only can you utilise your voice, you can use one of the four inputs to us an instrument such as a guitar or synthesizer. The RC-505 also includes an AUX mini-jack connection for use with smartphones, MP3 players and more. The onboard USB port is perfect for importing and exporting your sounds and .WAV samples. This allows you to use the RC-505 as a live sampler or for playing backing tracks. You could even implement an expression pedal for stomp-box style looping.
The RC-505 possesses a myriad of performance and real-time controls. They can be customised to suit your needs and be tailored to pre-arranged performances. The onboard memory allows you to store up to 85 rhythm patterns and 99 phrase memories so you can easily store and recall your creations. Utilise up to eight different functions using the front-panel controls and recall custom setups for different songs.
You’ve heard the Shure SM58 a thousand times before. Tuned to deliver the warmth of your voice and project it over the crowds. It’s ideal for lead singers, back-up singers, and public speakers.
Since going on sale in 1966, the SM58 has become the industry standard. Designed from the very beginning for life on the road. It became famous for its toughness and steel mesh filter that reduces wind and ‘pop’ noises - it picks up your voice and nothing else.
The SM58 has a signature sound that was created for live music. Shure achieved it by boosting the mid-range. This little trick means it doesn’t matter who uses it, their voice will cut through the mix.
The sound profile was also designed with a cardioid polar pattern and ‘bass roll-off’. This feature allows for the ‘proximity effect’ (increasing bass by moving closer to the mic) letting singers make changes to their vocal tone on the fly.
The clear sound is never interrupted either. The SM58 stops noise from vibrations and handling of the microphone, thanks to a built-in shock mount that protects the clarity of your voice.
You can expect the SM58 to withstand the wear and tear of touring. Shure went to great lengths to make sure the SM58 would still work, even after serious damage. Built from an all-metal construction, using heat and water-resistant adhesives, the microphone cartridge is protected to deliver years of great performance.
You can be confident of its durability - Shure tried freezing it, cooking it, and submerging it. They even dropped it from a 7-storey building and it still worked! Once you know that, you understand why it’s the microphone The Rolling Stones go on tour with.
Accept no imitation. Gear4music deals directly with Shure, all of our SM58's are certified genuine products.
