SHURE SUPER55|Vintage-Style Supercardioid Dynamic Vocal Microphone
A dynamic microphone that combines classic stage styling with strong vocal noise rejection
SHURE SUPER55 is a dynamic microphone from SHURE. It features a supercardioid pattern, a 60 Hz to 17 kHz frequency response, XLR output, and no power requirement, making it ideal for vocals, speeches, stage reinforcement, podcasts, and on-camera recording.
Compared with conventional handheld dynamic microphones with a more understated appearance, the SHURE SUPER55 delivers better off-axis rejection and a more distinctive stage presence through its iconic vintage design, supercardioid pickup, and shock-mounted dynamic capsule. Compared with similar products focused purely on styling, it balances the needs of a live performance microphone, streaming microphone, podcast microphone, and visual presence on camera.
Who Should Buy the SHURE SUPER55?
SHURE SUPER55 Core Technology and Features
- Supercardioid pickup: The polar pattern is supercardioid, allowing more focused capture of the voice directly in front while further reducing side ambient sound and stage bleed, making it suitable for live sound reinforcement, streaming, and video recording.
- Frequency response tuned for vocals and speech: The frequency response is 60 Hz to 17 kHz, adjusted for natural vocals and spoken content while balancing clarity, presence, and intelligibility.
- Strong gain-before-feedback performance: The supercardioid pattern combined with vocal-oriented tuning provides better feedback rejection in stage monitor and PA environments, making it easier for singers and speakers to achieve stable volume.
- Excellent off-axis rejection: It effectively rejects external sound sources, reducing drum kits, guitar amps, audience noise, and room reflections entering the microphone, improving focus on the main source.
- Shock-mounted dynamic capsule: The built-in shock-mounted capsule structure reduces stand handling noise, operating vibration, and structure-borne noise, resulting in quieter and more stable recording and live use.
- Classic vintage styling with blue foam design: The chrome housing and highly recognizable blue foam preserve the iconic 55-series visual language while giving the camera image a stronger stage focal point.
- Die-cast metal body: The rugged die-cast housing is suitable for touring, fixed venues, streaming spaces, and long-term stand-mounted use.
- Self-tensioning swivel mount: The built-in swivel mount installs without an additional microphone clip and can tilt up to 45 degrees forward and 80 degrees backward, making it easy to adjust for position and camera angle.
- Professional XLR connection: Equipped with an XLR connector for direct connection to mixers, audio interfaces, microphone preamps, and live sound systems.
- No phantom power required: As a dynamic microphone, it does not require phantom power, making it more compatible with traditional PA systems, hardware preamps, and standard recording chains.
