Shure 55SH Series II

Description

The worthy successor.
The Shure 55SH Series II is especially suited for vocals. Specifically designed for stage performances and speeches, this microphone will also prove formidable for television broadcasts, recordings, and any sound recording requiring a microphone with a retro look. A descendant of the Unidyne 55 microphone dynasty, which began in 1939 with the very first Model 55, the 55SH Series II incorporates a state-of-the-art capsule in a satin-chrome die-cast housing. It is the worthy successor to this legendary series, which has contributed to the American brand's reputation for over 70 years.

History and Performance.
Compliant with current audio requirements, the 55SH Series II fits perfectly on stage. Its cardioid polar pattern provides good rejection of ambient noise and minimizes sound pickup from behind the microphone. Mounted on an integrated articulated clip and featuring an on/off switch, this microphone offers a vintage look, rugged durability, and excellent audio performance.

The ultimate Elvis microphone.
A true star of the 1950s, adopted by the greatest singers of the era and passed down to history thanks to Elvis, this "skull" microphone is instantly recognizable by its inimitable look. This distinctive retro design made it a stage icon photographed with the greatest artists around the world. In its marketing at the time, Shure was right to present it as "the microphone that doesn't need a name."

Classic, its own. On some sound cards, plan for a good preamp or a Cloud CL-1 or even a TritonAudio FetHead to be able to hear what you are recording

Great look and sturdy! Convenient on/off button. Too bad the recording level is low, had to increase the input gain or output volume to get a proper sound level.
