Shure 55SH Series II

The 55SH is certainly one of the most famous microphones in the world, not least because it is associated with Elvis. It has been used at countless events and on stage by many famous musicians and politicians. The 55SH also often plays a leading role in films. In 1939, the Model 55 Unidyne was the first directional microphone with a single diaphragm. A groundbreaking development that made microphones smaller and cheaper. Its extreme robustness and safety from feedback quickly brought the direct predecessor of the 55SH to the world's major stages. The 55SH is the direct successor to the Model 55, but with a smaller housing (S stands for 'small' in this case).

Even today, the 55SH still delivers a sound that reproduces vocals and speech professionally. The vibration absorber prevents impact sound and the self-adjusting swivel adapter offers many options for positioning the microphone on stage. The only thing the modern Super 55 and the classic 55SH have in common is their external design with the chrome-plated cast housing. Modern microphone technology is used in the Super 55. The result is a modern sound, maximum security against feedback and reduced handling noise. The Super 55 has no on/off switch and the color of the pop filter is sapphire blue instead of anthracite.
