The connection is on spot and easy as 1 2 3.Shure is a quality product and this system is great a the lowest price you'll find for Shure.

The SM58 is the industry standard general purpose – hand-held vocal microphone. It’s built like a tank. Legend has it that once upon a time a roadie used an SM58 to hammer a nail into a stage prop, then later on that night the lead singer used the very same SM58 to do the show. May or may not be true, but these mics are tough. The sound is warm, with a notable midrange (vocal friendly) peak. They have a multi-layered percussive (pop) filter that effectively eliminates almost all objectionable close-mic vocal problems. In the 60’s and 70’s sound engineers who wanted to protect their investment in very expensive Neumann microphones, used the SM58s to mic drums, guitar amps, and other very loud instruments. Consequently many hit songs came out with the characteristic Shure signature sound. The SM58 and it’s sister microphone the SM57, were the one-two punch in rock ‘n’ roll recording.So when you buy a Shure SM58, you’re buying a legend! THE hand-held microphone of choice for a great number of rock ‘n’ roll artists. This wireless system is also bullet-proof. I have used it in many venues, where the speaker and/or artist walks around singing, and talking to the audience. The resistance to feedback is quite astonishing. The range of this also amazing. At one event the speaker walked about 60 yards away from the receiver and without a glitch, no interruption of sound.Of course they are indestructible too. Once the master of ceremonies handed the microphone to a kid who promptly dropped it on the concrete floor from about a four-foot height, and after a very loud bonk, the microphone continued to work as if nothing happened. Which reminds me, you should always keep a foam wind screen on your microphone in case someone drops it (not just for the sake of keeping the wind noise out.) It’s $6.00 investment that can preserve the head of your mic. http://www.amazon.com/Shure-A58WS-BLK-Windscreen-Microphones-Black/dp/B0006NMUK4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1443557645&sr=8-1&keywords=Shure+windscreenI know $190.00 sounds like a lot of money, but it’s well worth it. You’re getting a legendary microphone all wrapped up in a sophisticated high-tech wireless system. The battery life is pretty good, and the sound is, well, legendary.

I use this primarily for presentations at our museum. This is a professional mic, not one of the low-quality knock-offs that are out there for much less expense. But if you would like a mic that produces clean sound, this is the one. I have been using Shure audio products for years and have always been pleased with the quality and reliability (not to mention, tech support). It was needed to replace an older model that fell out of compliance with revised FCC regulations. Would purchase again.

We use it on the PA system at a Whale Watching tour boat to narrate the trip and it works flawlessly.

This mic setup works very well. I just give it 4 stars because sometimes, it randomly does not connect properly as in no audio gets sent out of the receiver but it does pick up sound. Only happened a few times so far but any downtime is not acceptable for microphone. I also with there was a mute button. Usually it's pretty quick to turn on and reconnect but there is also the additional delay in having to hold the button down for like 2 seconds and wait another 1-2 seconds to connect. Other than that, this system is very sturdy and sounds great. It is sensitive enough to usually pick up sound even though many users place it so far away from their mouth. It usually doesn't pick up any random sounds coming from different unintended sources which is great for minimizing feedback. Overall I can recommend this product to anyone as it does work great 98% of the time and is easy to set up. There's not really anything as reliable or that sounds as good for this price as I did a lot of research into this.Make sure you read the laws about what frequencies you can use in the US as there's TV stations and bought out frequencies used for other things. Shure has a great website that you enter your location and it shows all the TV station frequencies used and what are free for you to use. Amazon does not show the correct frequencies when I bought them as they really are. The frequencies that the system uses is labled buy the letters. I would recommend getting the highest frequency you can for your area as it'll provide you with a little more reliability and better sound.
