The Model 55SH Series II provides the Shure classic UNlDYNE II design coupled with modern acoustic components to meet today's performance standards. This cardioid dynamic mic is excellent for vocals, with its characteristic Shure tailored response and presence peak.
The 55SH Series II 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 can't.
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 mic is ideal for live sound, PA or theater/stage sound systems, as well as for broadcasting, recording, and other sound applications where a stand-mounted microphone with a classic retro look is desirable.
