Product Information
Enjoy the dual experience of going vintage yet staying modern during your live performances with the dynamic Shure 55SH Series II Unidyne Vocal Microphone, dubbed the Elvis microphone. This pro audio mic transports you back to the 70s rock and roll era of Elvis Presley leaning over caressing the older version of the 55, but keeps you on edge of the modern era with its updated acoustics. Shure 55SH Series II microphones reproduce a rich, uninterrupted audio quality, a key marker of a good public address system. The 70-year-old 55SH stage icon features a signature satin chrome-plated, die-cast casing that gives it that pure vintage look and feel, yet it packs undeniable modern acoustic components that keep it up-to-date with today’s technology and performance standards. The characteristic Shure presence peak makes this the perfect vocal pick cabled microphone. Designed to deliver on versatility, the Shure 55SH Series II is excellent for sound applications such as recording, broadcasting, and theater-stage sound systems. Feedback issues between a mic and a speaker can be most annoying. Thanks to a cardioid (unidirectional) polar pickup pattern feature, the Shure 55SH Series II can be used within close range of loudspeakers without creating a feedback problem. The cardioid feature minimizes sound from the rear of the mic, therefore adverting feedback issues and ensuring the mic delivers on optimum performance. Its advanced filtering system sets the Model 55SH Series II Unidyne mic a cut above omnidirectional microphones, as it performs excellently under adverse acoustic conditions with no feedback disturbances. Loved by many for its classic appearance and modern performance, the Shure 55SH Series II mic is the perfect pick for live vocals and recordings. An easy-to-use plug and play USB system, this Shure microphone does well at picking up the lows and mids with minimum ambient noise, delivering a crystal-clear voice. Shure 55SH mic systems are equipped with an excellent frequency response feature that is tailored to produce natural sounding speech and instrumental music. This feature makes the Shure 55SH Series II microphone perfect for vocal recording. It comes with a responsive on/off switch, and makes a great mic for guitar amps. The Shure SH55 series also features a shock-mounted cartridge that ensures quiet operation by minimizing stand-transmitted noise. Shure 55SH microphone systems are equipped with a self-tensioning swivel stand mount with a tilt range through 45 degrees forward and 80 degrees backward for direction flexibility. The dynamic Shure SH55 Series II microphone does not require phantom power to operate. Gear and accessories, such as cords and stands, are not included with the Shure 55SH mic systems. A USB or thunderbolt interface will be needed to connect the mic to a computer when recording sound. Such accessories are usually in stock and easy to access. Model 55SH Unidyne mics produce radio-ready vocal sound. They also give a lovely bass buildup when singing in the lower registers.
