An Iconic Stage Heritage

Part of the Shure Classic range, the Super 55 reinvents the aesthetics of stage legends while benefiting from modern technology. It captures the spirit of historic models, including the famous 55 and the "Green Bullet," offering an instantly recognizable visual signature and sound performance that meets modern demands.

Intended Uses and Audience

Designed for live vocal performance, the Super 55 is suitable for singers, MCs, speakers, and performers seeking a robust microphone with vintage style. Its supercardioid polar pattern effectively isolates the voice from ambient noise, ideal for clubs, concert halls, and stages where feedback control and tonal clarity are essential.

What Makes It Stand Out

Supercardioid Polar Pattern: Precision and Control

The enhanced capsule focuses pickup on the voice while rejecting side sounds. The result: high gain before feedback and controlled projection, even in front of powerful monitors.

Voice-Optimized Response

The 60 Hz - 17 kHz bandwidth enhances intelligibility and presence, delivering natural timbres and clear articulation, from voice/guitar duos to larger ensembles.

Simple Connectivity, Stage Reliability

The XLR connector and stand mount facilitate integration into any sound system. The -53 dBV/Pa sensitivity and nominal impedance of 150 ensure perfect compatibility with touring consoles and preamps.
