SHURE SUPER 55 Deluxe Vocal Microphone | Recreating the Classic, Defining the Sound of the Future
Classic Elvis Microphone Design with Modern Supercardioid Pickup Technology
The SHURE SUPER 55 is a deluxe vocal microphone from Shure, featuring a precise supercardioid pickup pattern and a frequency response optimized for vocals and speech, ranging from 60 Hz to 17,000 Hz. Its iconic satin chrome-plated die-cast casing and vibrant blue windscreen foam are not just a visual highlight but also house modern acoustic engineering, delivering exceptional sound quality.
Compared to the classic 55SH model, the SUPER 55 features a higher-output capsule (with acoustic characteristics similar to the Shure BETA 58A), offering an irreplaceable vintage microphone appearance while delivering clearer, fuller modern sound quality and superior feedback resistance. This makes it a core piece of equipment that combines style and performance, whether for stage performances, professional recording studios, or podcast broadcasting applications.

SHURE SUPER 55 Core Technologies and Features
- Iconic Vintage Design: The satin chrome-plated die-cast metal casing paired with vibrant blue windscreen foam recreates the classic stage aesthetic of the 1950s, offering a dual delight for both sight and sound.
- Optimized Vocal Frequency Response: A frequency curve specifically tailored for natural vocals and speech ensures warm and clear sound, achieving professional audio quality without extensive post-production.

- Integrated Shock Mount Design: The capsule features an internal shock mount structure, effectively absorbing and isolating mechanical noise and vibrations caused by touching the microphone stand or movement, ensuring pure sound capture.
- Robust and Durable Construction: Built with a sturdy die-cast metal casing, it can withstand the rigors of touring and daily use environments, ensuring long-term reliability.
- Integrated Swivel Mount: The microphone itself integrates a self-locking swivel mount, allowing for 45 degrees forward tilt and 80 degrees backward tilt, making it convenient for users to quickly adjust to the optimal pickup angle.
