The design of Shure's Super 55 microphone is an industry and cultural icon. Known for its excellent sound quality and natural vocal reproduction, Shure created a Special Edition Super 55 microphone that features a sharp new red and black color scheme.
The Special Edition Super 55 incorporates modern technology while paying tribute to the original Shure Unidyne – the first single-element unidirectional microphone – introduced in 1939.
Featuring a black die-cast case, supercardioid polar pattern, and striking red foam, the Special Edition Super 55 is ideal for stage, studio recording, podcasting, and other sound applications where a stand-mounted microphone with a classic look is desired. An integrated, swivel stand mount base and microphone bag are also included.
Features of the Special Edition Super 55 :
• Modern sound: Tailored frequency response for natural vocals and speech
• High output: Neodymium magnet and output transformer for increased sensitivity
• Vintage design: Iconic chrome-plated design with vibrant red/black color combination
• Supercardioid polar pattern: Ensures high gain before feedback and excellent off-axis rejection
• Shock mounted cartridge: Minimizes handling/stage noise and ensures quiet operation
• Rugged die-cast chrome casing: Reliable under rigorous conditions
Pricing and Availability
$299 retail [$354 MSRP]
