Vintage Mic Styling, Modern Reliability and Performance!

The Shure Super 55 Deluxe dynamic vocal microphone combines vintage-style looks and modern performance, giving you a great-sounding mic that's a real eye-catcher onstage! Housed in a classic satin chrome-plated housing that hearkens back to the early days of rock 'n' roll, the Super 55 Deluxe adds blue foam for an even more vibrant appearance. The heart of this mic, however, is completely modern — a supercardioid dynamic capsule that provides excellent sound while rejecting outside noise very well. You get the best of both worlds — vintage and modern — when you sing into the Super Deluxe 55!

Shure Super 55 Deluxe Dynamic Vocal Microphone at a Glance:
  • A great combination of vintage looks and modern performance
  • Use it for stage, studio, podcasts, and more

A great combination of vintage looks and modern performance
Housed in a beautiful vintage-style die-cast housing, the Super 55 Deluxe provides nearly as much visual appeal as it does great sound for your vocals! This satin chrome-plated dynamic mic features a supercardioid polar pattern and tailored frequency response for natural-sounding vocals and speech, as well as excellent rejection of outside sound sources. The Super 55 Deluxe's integrated, swivel stand mount gives you plenty of tilt adjustment capability, and it eliminates the need for a mic clip.

Use it for stage, studio, podcasts, and more
In addition to its stage-friendly durability, reliability, and tight pickup pattern, the Super 55 Deluxe also works well for studio recording, podcasting, and other sound applications where a stand-mounted microphone with a classic look is desired. Its shock-mounted internal cartridge minimizes handling noise and gives you quiet operation.

Shure Super 55 Deluxe Dynamic Vocal Microphone Features:
  • Supercardioid polar pattern
  • Frequency response: 60Hz to 17kHz
  • Iconic chrome-plated design with vibrant blue color additions
  • Tailored frequency response for natural vocals and speech
  • High gain before feedback and excellent off-axis rejection
  • Shock-mounted cartridge minimizes handling noise and 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
  • Includes zippered storage bag

The Shure Super 55 Deluxe dynamic vocal microphone puts modern performance into a stunning vintage-style package!

Old school look with modern high tech performance.

If that's what you want you will get your moneys worth and then some with this great Shure mic. Sometimes the manufacturer oversells a product, not in this case. Shure recreated the exact vintage mic ... read more [+]housing around a very clean and crisp mic sound. This sounds much better than an SM 58 and much better than it's counterpart the cheaper 55. I returned that one. If you are a quality sound freak you will be happy with this mic. Don't worry about the lack of an on off switch it doesn't need it. close [-]

Cool Mic!

I'd be hard pressed to give any piece of gear a 5 star rating but this one is close. It's Shure so you know it's tough. Cool vintage look we wanted for our Rockabilly band. Sound is great. Nice an... read more [+]d clear and takes less juice from the preamp than a 57 or 58. The supercard pattern makes it MUCH less likely to feedback and therefore much easier to deal with as a sound guy. You can push it harder with less fear, and that is excellent. The new blue foam is cool too. Style coupled with function. Can't beat it. close [-]

Beware of "plosives" with this mic!

by Paul Robinette from Northeast Tennessee

Music Background: Live Sound Engineer, recording engineer
Beautiful, well constructed, cool looking mic. You just can't wait to sing into it. Warm, full sound, then you sing a word with a "B" or a "P" in it and hear your subwoofers nearly jump out of their... read more [+] cabinets. Even singing off axis, the "plosives" are just too much. Had been using an EV RE410 condenser, and never had any trouble like that. Going to stick with what works and sacrifice the cool factor. close [-]

Best customer service I've ever encountered. My guitar arrived ahead of the date it was supposed to, in flawless condition. Played well right out of the box. I will be buying all of my gear from you, from here on out. You made me feel like I was ordering a custom guitar, just for me. I was treated like a valuable customer.
