Shure 55SH Series II Dynamic Vocal Microphone

The Model 55SH Series II microphone provides the Shure classic UNlDYNE® II design coupled with modern acoustic components to meet today''s performance standards. This microphone is excellent for vocal pickup with its characteristic Shure presence peak.

The 55SH Series II microphone has a cardioid (unidirectional) polar pickup pattern that minimizes 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.

55SH Series II Includes Swivel Stand Mount Base, On-Off Switch; Cable not included.

FEATURES

• Classic appearance, modern performance

• Frequency response tailored for speech, vocals and instrumental music

• Cardioid directional pattern for optimum performance in adverse acoustic environments

• Shock-mounted cartridge minimizes stand-transmitted noise, ensures quiet operation

• Rugged die cast case and mechanical design for reliability under rigorous conditions

• Self-tensioning swivel mount, permits tilting through 45 degrees forward and 80 degrees backward

How It Works
Built on the hardware of our seminal Unidyne 55 microphone, the look of the 55SH Series II transports you to a classic era. Whether you recreate the broadcasting golden age or sing with the hip-swinging swagger of the birth of rock n’ roll, this is the mic that makes the scene.

A standout on any stage
The cardioid directional pattern captures the exact sound you want, regardless of acoustic environment. So it’s perfect for live performance in a variety of venues.

Made to move
The shock-mounted cartridge minimises stand noise. So swing while you sing. It can handle the motion.

Stage proof
Microphones get dropped, tossed and knocked around. We know. We’ve been making them for nearly a century. It’s why we built the 55SH Series II with a rugged, die-cast casing, so it’s always ready for the next show.
