The Shure Super 55 Deluxe Supercardioid Dynamic Vocal Microphone combines vintage-inspired aesthetics with cutting-edge audio performance, making it a top choice for vocalists, podcasters, and performers. Building on the legacy of the classic Shure 55 Unidyne—famously used by icons like Elvis Presley—this microphone blends timeless style with modern technology.
Its design features a satin chrome-plated die-cast metal body, delivering durability and a striking retro look. A vibrant blue foam windscreen adds flair while enhancing its visual appeal. Built for the stage, its rugged construction withstands drops and heavy use, reflecting Shure’s nearly 100 years of microphone craftsmanship. The integrated self-tensioning swivel mount offers up to 45 degrees forward and 80 degrees backward tilt, perfect for stand-mounted setups without extra clips.
The Super 55’s supercardioid dynamic design excels at capturing sound directly in front while rejecting off-axis noise, offering high gain-before-feedback and excellent background noise rejection—ideal for live settings. A shock-mounted cartridge minimizes handling noise and vibrations, ensuring clean audio during dynamic performances. With a frequency response of 60 Hz to 17 kHz, it’s tailored for vocals and speech, featuring a low-mid dip to reduce muddiness and a 6 kHz presence boost for clarity, inspired by the high-output BETA 58A. This delivers rich, natural sound with a modern edge.
Technical specs include a 150-ohm impedance, -53.0 dBV/Pa sensitivity, and an XLR 3-pin connector for broad compatibility with professional gear. Weighing 0.656 kg (1.45 lbs), it’s portable yet sturdy. No external power is needed, making it a plug-and-play solution.
Versatile for live performances, studio recording, podcasting, and theater, the Super 55 shines with its feedback resistance, off-axis rejection, and warm tone. Its switchless design avoids accidental muting, and it includes a 5/8" to 3/8" thread adapter and padded pouch. The Super 55 is a stylish, high-performing microphone that elevates both sound and presence.
