Shure 555H Series II Cardioid Vocal Mic – The Elvis, James Brown, Billie Holiday, Hank Williams Mic –

We are Eclectic Sounds / aka: eclsounds – a store front in Portland, Or. We are open 7 days a week from 11 – 5 PST (by appointment)

This microphone is in near mint condition and has been barley touched.

If you want to capture a classic look, you need the gear to match the genre. Nothing completes the style quite like the 55SH Series II, a microphone that has been gripped by legends for decades. Others may imitate, but none can duplicate the form and function standards Shure has held from our first Unidyne mic to our latest.

• Classic appearance, modern performance
• Frequency response tailored for speech, vocals and instrumental music
• Cardioid directional pattern for optimum performance in adverse acoustic environments
• Shock-mounted cartridge minimizes stand-transmitted noise, ensures quiet operation
• Rugged die cast casing for reliability under rigorous conditions
• Self-tensioning swivel mount, permits tilting through 45 degrees forward and 80 degrees backward

A cardioid (unidirectional) polar pickup pattern is employed to minimize 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 cannot.

( Due to people taking advantage of eBay / Reverb return policies; wanting to “try out and/or pilfer parts”  we can no longer take returns on used gear unless it arrives damaged. Sorry for this inconvenience. We test and guarantee all gear to be 100% working unless stated otherwise )
