Shure 55SH Series-2 Vintage XLR Dynamic Vocal Microphone
DETAILS
The Shure 55SH Series II Microphone is a legendary piece of audio equipment that seamlessly blends timeless design with outstanding audio performance.
An unmistakable stage icon for 70 years, the 55SH Series II vocal microphone features a signature satin chrome-plated die-cast casing for pure vintage look and feel. This microphone, often referred to as the “Elvis microphone” or the “Elvis mic,” is an iconic symbol of classic rock ‘n’ roll and the golden age of radio broadcasting.
The Shure 55SH Series II is suited specifically to vocal applications, typically live performance, public address as well as for broadcasting, recording, and sound applications where a stand-mounted microphone with a classic look is desirable.
A cardioid (unidirectional) polar pickup pattern is employed to minimize sound pickup from the rear of the microphone. This allows the Model 55SH Series II to be used in close proximity to loudspeakers without creating feedback problems, and it can perform under adverse acoustic conditions where omnidirectional microphones cannot.
