Shure Super 55 Supercardioid Dynamic Microphone (Chrome with Blue Foam)

Product Overview

The Shure Super 55 is a supercardioid dynamic vocal microphone combining a vintage-inspired chrome and blue foam aesthetic with professional-grade audio performance. Sharing its high-output capsule architecture with the Shure BETA 58A, the Super 55 delivers a tailored vocal response well suited for live sound reinforcement, broadcast studios, and commercial AV environments where both performance and visual presence matter. Its 60–17,000 Hz frequency response handles close-miked vocals and speech reproduction with natural clarity and a gentle presence boost that aids intelligibility without harshness. The integrated swivel stand mount simplifies deployment across a wide range of AV staging and installation scenarios.

Product Description

The Shure Super 55 is built for demanding vocal applications in commercial sound reinforcement, broadcast, and live event production. The supercardioid polar pattern provides tighter off-axis rejection than a standard cardioid, reducing monitor bleed and room noise in acoustically challenging spaces — a practical advantage in conference centers, auditoriums, and multi-purpose event rooms. The satin chrome-plated die-cast casing is engineered for commercial-grade durability, with the blue foam windscreen providing functional protection alongside its signature visual character. The 3-pin XLR output interfaces directly with standard commercial AV signal chains and mixing consoles without adapters. For a more utilitarian vocal dynamic for installation use, see the Shure SM58S at Creation Networks.
