Description

The Shure 55S is an iconic dynamic microphone, often referred to as the "Elvis microphone" due to its unmistakable retro design inspired by models from the 1950s. This microphone gained popularity not only for its aesthetic appeal but also for its high-quality sound and durable construction.
Favored by singers, announcers, and public speakers, it excelled in clear voice articulation and effectively minimized background noise. Even decades later, the Shure 55S remains one of the most recognizable microphones in the history of music and technology, with successors continuing to appear in this design.
The microphone stand is equally rare—a product of Sarsaparilla Design LTD.
