Shure 55SH II Dynamic Vocal Microphone The Shure 55SH II Dynamic Vocal 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
The 55SH Series II has a low-impedance balanced output designed for connection to microphone inputs rated at 75 to 300 ohms. The microphone features a cartridge shock mount to reduce stand noise, an On/Off switch, and an attached, self-tensioning, 5/8 inch-27 thread swivel mount. This microphone is ideal for public address or theater-stage sound systems, as well as for broadcasting, recording, and other sound applications where a stand-mounted microphone with a classic look is desirable.

right wheni opened the package, i knew that this was going to be far cry from the mics i was used to, it was just built better

the best feature is that it looks so damn cool

it's just about as simple as it gets, plug it in, turn it on and it's good to go

QUALITY:
Absolutely solid. I still treat it softer than my own guitar, but a solidly built mic.
FEATURES:
Less is more and this has plenty. On/Off switch with a shielded back for live use. Pretty simple.
EASE OF USE:
This is a bit tricky. If you move to the right or left or don't sing directly into it, you lose volume and clarity. But with a little time and practice, you can get the volume on the the sound board adjusted so that is not an issue and you can use those things to your benefit. This mic sounds the sweetest when you're in its grill truckin' away.
VALUE:
The price is a bit high, but most good items are priced high. I must admit I paid the price because of the name and the look and time will tell if the value is there, but Shure has been the defining manufacturers of high quality mics for decades, so I don't see any trouble. Ask me in 5 years after consistent performing and I will have an answer for you. So |
