Description
If you want to capture a classic look, you need gear that matches the genre. Nothing completes the style quite like the Shure 55SH II. Legends have gripped this microphone for decades. It looks like a vintage original, but it performs like a modern mic.
The 55SH II suits vocal work in particular. Live performance, public address, broadcasting and recording all suit it, wherever you want a stand-mounted microphone with a classic look. A cardioid pickup pattern reduces sound from the rear. As a result, you can use it close to loudspeakers without feedback problems. It also works in tricky acoustic conditions, where omnidirectional microphones struggle.

Built for Style and Stage
This mic is as practical as it is good-looking. The shock-mounted cartridge cuts down noise from the stand, so the signal stays clean. Meanwhile, the die cast casing handles rough use at gigs, events and venues.
The swivel mount also tilts easily to suit any singer’s height. It holds its position once you set it. Looking for a vintage touch for a wedding, a jazz night or a themed event? Contact us, and we’ll help you plan the right setup.
