Description: Offering a vintage 1970's 2nd Generation SHURE 55S Dynamic Microphone. It's the mic most associated with Elvis, in fact that’s why it’s nicknamed the "Elvis mic". But it’s not just Elvis – the various versions of the legendary microphone count Metallica, Billie Eilish, Frank Sinatra and Chuck Berry among its millions of fans. A bit of backstory, before the 55S came along microphones were big – sometimes almost the size of your head. That was fine for the recording studio, but when television became the place to be in the 1950s, a new, smaller microphone was needed. Enter the Shure 55S – a smaller version (S) of Shure’s revolutionary Unidyne I Model 55. This 55S is in great shape...was well taken care of with barely any signs of use or wear. No bent ribs, clean screen cloth, sharp maker's badge, and this beauty tests with strong output and a clear sharp audio profile. (Check out the voice sample on the listing video.) This iconic 55S mic shouts "old school" and is always an instantly recognized sign of quality. This sale includes the adjustable-height desk stand, and the proper Amphenol to male XLR cable, 7 feet in length. (We can swap the XLR plug for a 1/4" male phono plug at no charge.) NOTE: If you don't need the stand or the cable, we can credit you back for those. ** Always safe secure packaging and fast fair shipping.
