SHURE 55SH SERIES II Core Technologies and Features
- Classic Unidyne dynamic structure: Uses SHURE’s classic Unidyne series design, combining dynamic pickup principles with a durable structure, suitable for live performance, speech reinforcement, and long-term use.
- Cardioid pickup: The polar pattern is cardioid, effectively suppressing off-axis noise and ambient sound, improving gain-before-feedback performance and reducing stage bleed and room reverberation interference.
- Vocal-tuned frequency response: Frequency response is 50 Hz to 15 kHz, with a slightly shaped low-mid range and a presence boost around 6.5 kHz, making vocals, speech, and dialogue clearer and more prominent.
- Shock-mounted dynamic diaphragm system: Built-in shock-mounted dynamic pickup structure reduces handling noise, stand vibration, and structure-borne noise, improving stability in live use.
- Built-in On/Off switch: The body includes a switch for easy muting during speaking breaks, performance changes, or standby moments, with intuitive operation.
- XLR professional connection: Equipped with a 3-pin XLR connector for direct connection to mixers, mic preamps, sound reinforcement systems, and most professional audio gear.
- Phantom-power-free design: As a dynamic microphone, it does not require phantom power, making it friendly for live PA, traditional mixers, and basic recording chains.
- Self-tension swivel mount: Built-in 5/8"-27 threaded swivel mount can tilt up to 45 degrees forward and up to 80 degrees backward, making it easy to adjust for performer position and camera angle.
- Die-cast metal body: The chrome-plated die-cast metal housing not only offers a highly recognizable look, but also provides durability suitable for touring and long-term stage use.
- Balances recording and visual prop value: In addition to studio, stage, and reinforcement applications, it is also ideal for music videos, theater, studios, live-stream visuals, and vintage-themed shoots.
