Shure Super 55 vocal microphone for stage, speech and recording
If you want a vocal microphone with a classic look and modern audio performance, the Shure Super 55 is a strong choice. This dynamic microphone is specifically tuned for natural vocals and speech and fits live performances, speeches, television broadcasts, recordings and other sound applications where a fixed microphone is preferred.
The supercardioid polar pattern picks up mainly from the front and rejects more from the sides. That gives you high gain-before-feedback, meaning more usable level before feedback starts, while off-axis sound is kept under better control.
Vintage style with a modern Shure upgrade
The Shure Super 55 combines the familiar chrome design of the original icon with bright blue grille accents. Compared with the 55SH Series II, this model stands out through its superior cartridge and supercardioid operation.
With a frequency response of 60 Hz to 17 kHz, the sound stays focused on vocals and speech. The shockmounted cartridge reduces handling noise, helping to minimise unwanted noise caused by touch or movement.
Practical setup on a fixed stand
The integrated self-tensioning swivel mount makes the Shure Super 55 easy to position. You can tilt the microphone 45 degrees forward and 80 degrees backward, so it adapts smoothly to different stage and speaking situations.
The rugged die-cast case is built for reliability under adverse conditions. At 278 grams, and with the included 5/8 inch to 3/8 inch thread adapter, this vocal microphone works neatly with a range of mic stands. At Magna Music, you can also get personal advice from staff who work with live sound themselves.
