Product Overview
The Shure 55SH Series II is the iconic Unidyne vocal microphone that pairs Shure's classic die-cast look with modern acoustic performance. Its uniform cardioid pickup pattern and tailored vocal response make it a dependable choice for stage vocals, presentations, broadcast, and recording where a classic pedestal-mounted microphone is desired. The 55SH Series II is a cardioid dynamic vocal microphone built for both visual impact and reliable sound.
Product Description
The 55SH Series II combines the recognizable Unidyne housing with up-to-date components that meet current performance standards, delivering the Shure presence-peak vocal character. A uniform cardioid polar pattern minimizes pickup from behind the microphone, allowing the 55SH to be used near loudspeakers without feedback problems and in acoustically challenging rooms where omnidirectional microphones struggle. The tailored frequency response is shaped for speech, vocals, and instrumental music, supporting clear reproduction at podiums, on theater stages, and in broadcast and recording applications. A cartridge shock mount reduces stand-transmitted noise, while the self-tensioning swivel mount with a 5/8"-27 thread tilts 45 degrees forward and 80 degrees back for flexible placement. An On/Off switch provides local control, and the chrome die-cast housing withstands the rigors of constant use. The low-impedance balanced output connects to microphone inputs rated 75 to 300 ohms, integrating with standard mixers and AV systems. Comparable handheld dynamic vocal microphones in our catalog include the Shure SM58-LC and the Shure 565SD-LC.
