Fantastic microphone that sounds great live and in studio settings. This is the second mic I own. Got this one as a backup for the first Super 55 (blackout version) I few years ago.

Great microphone! It does have some weight to it, so make sure you get a weight for your mic stand, but other than that it is probably the greatest microphone I've ever touched!

Shure Super 55 crisp vocals
By: Vanessa Munoz
Submitted: 12/9/2023
Product Review
The Shure Super 55 not only looks amazing but it has a very crisp sound. The vocals sound very clear and it doesn’t pick up surrounding sounds. It is a little heavy so having a stand for it is highly recommended.

This mic looks great, and sounds great as well. I have used if for a few rehearsals, but not live yet. It is a bit heavy compared to a 58, but it is sturdy. Next step is a better mic stand. The one I have works, but it is a bit easy to tip.

Very nice sound in a retro look for the new Super 55SHII
By: Jim T.
Submitted: 2/16/2021
Product Review
The look is very cool and the sound, now updated with a new capsule fits nicely in the SM sound family. It will get much use.
The use on a desk stand requires a shorter pole piece for the stand, I am using one that is about 3.25" to the base. Used at about a 6" distance you will have no issues with plosives. This allows the cable to clear the desk stand base.

When I opened the box I was like a kid on x-mas! It was a beautiful shiny chrome hunk of metal with a blue filter. Arrowdynamic like the design of an airplane. When Singing into the mic it sounded smooth and clear and could handle a powerful vocal without distorting.

I bought this mic thursday, came friday & i'm in love. The quality you get for this price is amazing. The 1st mic i bought was a Neumann TLM 102 & i love that mic as well, but i would rather used this 1. TLM has a more open sound but the Super55 is warmer. With the gain at unity & monitors all the way up, the Super55 did not feedback even inches away from the speaker, whereas the TLM would feedback from several feet away. This was in a studio setting so i imagine it would work just as well live. I have never been disappointed by Shure.

Dynamic mic with vintage sound and design
By: Martin M Feick
Submitted: 10/7/2019
Product Review
I had been looking for a new microphone to spruce up my rig and a friend recommended I try the Shure Super 55. Out of the box, it is a work of art, combining retro design with art deco lines and style. The cardioid design allows for a great vocal response but using it outdoors in any slight wind condition can promote feedback, as I have I experienced. On stage, the tone of the mic is amazingly smooth but also has a rawness to it that gives it that old-school rock and roll feel. It's the perfect mic to complement the ones in my current rig, depending on the gene of band I'm gigging with or the venue. Extremely well-done job by Shure.

Acquired this as a mainstay for my acoustic shows. I am a huge fan of the crystal clarity! I also am a fan of not having to constantly “work the mic.” Dynamically, this microphone is a true weapon for any live performance situation. I even use it for recording purposes! It may not be a condenser, but it does also sound great in a recording atmosphere! Yet another amazing piece by Shure! I have never been let down by them!

You gotta love the old-school vibe of this mic, and it sounds pretty warm and smooth for vocals. I got the limited edition black one, and it's gorgeous. It feels like a pleasant slug of solid iron in your hand. I'm not sure about the value considering the competition (Rode NT1, Warm Audio WA47, etc). But I am glad I have this in my mic locker and would definitely recommend it for vocals and podcasting. (I have not yet tried it on instruments).

By: JW Bachi

My problem was that even when I only had the console and a condenser mic plugged in, I still got hum. It must have something to do with the house power. I decided to side step the issue and look for a large diaphragm dynamic mic. During my searches, this one always came up. I have used many Shure products , so, I knew this would be a reasonable mic. It's not in the PG series. (Pretty Good or Pretend Guitarist). This is for a home radio production studio. My radio mentor said it was the first mic he used in a station, back in the '60s. After purchasing it, I saw it on stage in a live reggae show. My vocal coach said it makes my voice sound better than in person. The price is reasonable for a pro mic. The AMS payment plan allowed me to use it right away.
