Frequently asked questions about this product
What difference does the supercardioid polar pattern of the Shure Super 55 make?
It picks up the voice from the front and rejects sound coming from the sides. On stage, this means less amp spill into the mic and high gain before feedback: you can push the level further before the squeal appears.
Does the Super 55 pick up handling noise?
It is reduced: the dynamic capsule is mounted on a shock-mount suspension, which keeps the mic quiet when you touch it or tilt it mid-performance.
Can the Shure Super 55 be tilted on its stand?
Yes: its self-locking swivel mount allows a tilt of 45° forward and 80° backward. The setting holds without coming loose during the concert.
What is in the Shure Super 55 box?
The mic, a 5/8 to 3/8-inch thread adapter — the one that lets you screw it onto a European stand — and a padded zippered pouch for transport.
What uses is the Super 55 designed for?
For vocals above all, then stage performances and speeches, as well as television broadcasts and recordings that call for a mic with a retro look. Its frequency response is optimised for singing and speech.
What is the difference between the Super 55 and the 55SH Series II?
Two differences, given by the manufacturer: the Super 55 has a higher-quality supercardioid capsule, and it features the light blue stripes on its chrome body.
Which technology does the Super 55 inherit?
That of Shure's BETA 58A vocal mic. This is what gives it a sound optimised for a natural voice and the ability to carry the voice as far as the staging requires.
Is this Shure Super 55 microphone new and under warranty?
Yes, it is a new Shure product, reference SUPER55, with a chrome body with light blue accents and a die-cast capsule. The invoice serves as the warranty document, for a period of 1 year.
Clear mids and reduced bass: lead and backing vocals alike stay in front of the mix, with no proximity effect. A tight pickup that pushes back feedback, and a hardened steel grille built for touring.
•Supercardioid pattern: isolates the voice, limits the risk of feedback
•XLR connection: requires a mixing desk or an audio interface
•Clear mids and reduced bass against the proximity effect
No booth and no audio interface: it plugs into the computer and keeps only the voice facing it, rejecting what comes from behind. Headphone output for real-time monitoring, touch mute and a voice-and-game mix dial.
A touch LED strip that acts as a live level meter and mutes the pickup with one press, among 16.8 million colours. Headphone output for monitoring, an all-metal body and an adjustable yoke for a stand or a boom.
Set on its own according to your distance and your volume, the level stays constant from start to finish. Plosives and background noise are handled in real time, and the desk stand is already in the box.
No accessories to buy separately: the pop filter and the shock mount are housed in the body. Pickup concentrates on the voice in front of the grille and connects over XLR, with no phantom power to provide.
Karaoke, party hosting or public speaking: a steel stage microphone that copes with being handled. It connects over XLR to a PA system or a mixing desk and needs no power supply. Clip and stand adapter included.
Neither the keyboard nor the fans get through: pickup tightens around the voice, even in an untreated room. It connects over XLR to an audio interface or a mixing desk, with no phantom power to switch on.
•Pickup tightened around the voice, keyboard and fans kept out
Amplified guitar, saxophone, drums or brass: the pickup stays centred on the instrument and leaves aside what comes from the sides, with high gain before feedback. It connects over XLR to an audio interface or a mixing desk.
Close-miked radio or podcast voice: the pop filter holds even on a whisper, and the shielding cuts hum from screens and power supplies. Two switches adjust the bass and the presence.
•Uniform cardioid pattern, off-axis sound rejected without colouration
Two gain steps, +18 or +28 dB, delivered by the on-board preamp: any interface can keep up, even on a soft voice. A switch bypasses it to return to the original behaviour of the SM7B.
•Built-in preamp: +18 dB or +28 dB of extra gain, with no background noise
•Bypass switch to return to the original behaviour of the SM7B
•Preamp powered by the 48 V of an interface or a mixing desk
