Shure 55SH Series II — Classic look, modern performance
Iconic Unidyne Vocal Microphone
If you want to capture a classic look, you need the gear to match the genre. Nothing completes the style quite like the 55SH Series II, a microphone that has been gripped by legends for decades. Others may imitate, but none can duplicate the form and function standards Shure has held from our first Unidyne mic to our latest.
Features:
Classic look with modern performance
Tailored frequency response for vocals and instrumental music
Rugged die cast casing
Self-tensioning swivel mount
Shock-mounted cartridge
The 55SH Series II microphone has a cardioid (unidirectional) polar pickup pattern that minimizes sound pickup from the rear of the microphone. This allows the Model 55SH Series II to be used in close proximity to loudspeakers without creating feedback problems, and it can perform under adverse acoustic conditions where omnidirectional microphones cannot.
The 55SH Series II has a low-impedance balanced output designed for connection to microphone inputs rated at 75 to 300 ohms. The microphone features a cartridge shock mount to reduce stand noise, an On/Off switch, and an attached, self-tensioning, 5/8"-27 thread swivel mount. This microphone is ideal for public address or theater-stage sound systems, as well as for broadcasting, recording, and other sound applications where a stand-mounted microphone with a classic look is desirable.
Type: Dynamic
Frequency Response: 50 to 15,000 Hz
Polar Pattern: Cardioid (unidirectional), uniform with frequency, symmetrical about axis
Impedance: Microphone rating impedance is 150 ohms (270 ohms actual) for connection to microphone inputs rated at 75 to 300 ohms
Sensitivity (at 1,000 Hz): Open Circuit Voltage: -58.0 dBV/Pa (1.3 mV)
1 Pascal=94 dB SPL Polarity
Positive pressure on the diaphragm produces positive voltage on pin 2 relative to pin 3 of the output connector
Switch: Built-in On/Off switch, integral part of swivel mount, connector Three pin professional type, designed to mate with Cannon XL series, Switchcraft A3 (Q.G.) series, or equivalent
Case: Chrome-plated die casting
Net Weight: 624 grams (22 oz)
Model #55SH-II
