History of Shure Audio Equipment
The history of Shure begins way back in 1925. The company was founded by a man named Sidney N. Shure as the Shure Radio Company in downtown Chicago. As the name might suggest, they mostly created radio parts and parts kits.
The first Shure radio parts were marketed in mail-order catalogs, but by 1928 the Shure Radio Company had grown enough to begin printing their own catalog, making them one of only six radio parts catalogs in the United States.
Following the Great Depression, there was an increased availability of prebuilt radios, meaning nobody really needed individual parts anymore. The Shure Radio Company had to scale back their staff and rethink their strategy. They decided to go into the microphone business.
In 1931, Shure released the Model 33N Two-Button Carbon Microphone. They also earned their first patent with the first microphone suspension support system. This release made Shure one of only four microphone manufacturers in the country!
As the second World War came to a head, the U.S. government contracted Shure to be the primary microphone provider of the United States military. The Shure T-17B became the standard microphone used by the Navy and Army. Shure also started to manufacture new microphone styles, including throat, oxygen mask, and headset microphones for use in planes and on the ground.
From the ‘40s to the ‘80s, Shure was a massive producer of phonograph cartridges. Some estimates state that Shure produced up to 28,000 cartridges every day in their Phoenix, Arizona assembly plant. They also developed medical hearing devices, including the 66A piezoelectric stethoscope which could hear chest sounds and several cartridges used in hearing aids.
In 1953, Shure produced the first wireless microphone for musicians, and in 1959 they came out with the Unidyne III Microphone — which was the predecessor for the legendary SM57. They also began producing portable broadcasting equipment with smaller mics and portable mixers.
For nearly a century, Shure has been at the forefront of microphone technology. Their dedication to innovation and high-quality manufacturing processes makes Shure audio equipment some of the most popular and beloved products in the music industry and beyond. Whether you visit a studio or stage, there’s a good chance you’ll find a Shure product. If you want the best of the best when it comes to microphones, headphones, or audio accessories, reach for a Shure.
