Description

The icon among microphones. This is the Elvis mic! Made famous by his many performances where Elvis used this microphone on a single pole microphone stand. This makes this vintage microphone a true representation of its time. This microphone has an old-fashioned look, and that’s why today this retro microphone is used for film and TV recordings, commercials, and karaoke applications.

What is the 55SH Series II vintage microphone most suitable for?

The Shure 55SH Series II is especially suitable for vocal applications. It’s ideal for live performances and speeches, as well as television broadcasts, recordings, and sound applications that require a stationary microphone with a classic appearance.

What polar pattern does the 55SH Series II retro microphone have?

A cardioid (unidirectional) polar pattern is used to minimize the recording of background noise. As a result, the Shure 55SH Series II model can be used in close proximity to loudspeakers without feedback problems. Moreover, the retro microphone can perform in unfavorable acoustic environments, while omnidirectional microphones cannot.

Do I need a microphone stand with this old-fashioned microphone?

Yes. We recommend renting this old-fashioned microphone with a microphone stand. Without a microphone stand, this microphone cannot be used properly. Specifically for this type of microphone, we offer a single pole microphone stand for rent. This allows the artist to stand closer to the vintage microphone, which improves the sound quality for this type of microphone.

How do I connect this Elvis microphone?

Use a microphone cable or XLR cable. Click this into the bottom of the microphone and the other end into the microphone input of an audio mixer. The microphone does not require phantom power. Please note that the microphone cable is not included in the rental. You can easily add this via the extras at the top of this page.
