For a classic look, you need gear that lives up to it. Nothing elevates this style like the 55SH Series II, a microphone carried by legends for decades. Others imitate it, but none can match the standards of form and function that Shure has set since its very first Unidyne mic to its latest.

What is the 55SH Series II suitable for?
The Shure 55SH Series II is specifically designed for vocal applications. Consequently, a stand-mounted microphone with a classic design is generally preferred for live performances, public address systems, as well as for broadcasting, recording, and sound reinforcement applications.
What is the polar pattern of the 55SH Series II?
A cardioid (unidirectional) polar pattern minimizes sound pickup from the back of the microphone. This allows the 55SH Series II to be used in close proximity to speakers without creating feedback, and it performs well in adverse acoustic conditions, unlike omnidirectional microphones.
Built on the foundation of our iconic Unidyne 55 microphone, the 55SH Series II transports you to a classic era. Whether you are recreating the golden age of broadcasting or singing with the swiveling confidence of early rock 'n' roll, this mic is made for you.
A microphone that stands out on stage
The cardioid polar pattern captures the exact sound you want, regardless of the acoustic environment. It is therefore ideal for live performances in various venues.
Built to move
The shock-mounted cartridge minimizes stand noise. So, go ahead and sway while you sing! It absorbs every movement.
Stage-proof
Microphones are often victims of drops, jolts, and shocks. We know that. We’ve been making them for nearly a century. That is why we equipped the 55SH Series II with a rugged, die-cast casing, so it is always ready for the next show.
