Description

An unmistakable stage icon for 70 years, the Shure 55SH Series II Unidyne
Vocal Microphone features a signature satin chrome-plated
die-cast casing for pure vintage look and feel 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.

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 shockmount to reduce stand noise, an On/Off
switch, and an attached, self-tensioning, 5/8″-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.
