Shure SUPER 55 Deluxe Retro-Mikrofon

Shure Super 55 Deluxe Vocal Microphone — Vintage Style, Modern Vocal Engine

The Shure Super 55 Deluxe Vocal Microphone is a satin chrome-plated dynamic mic built for performers who want a classic look without sacrificing modern vocal clarity. Its supercardioid capsule is tuned for natural-sounding vocals and speech, while the die-cast casing and integrated swivel mount make it a turnkey solution for stage, studio, podcast, and broadcast use. The Super 55 Deluxe is the right choice for vocalists and presenters who need a microphone that looks as iconic as it sounds.

What Sets the Super 55 Deluxe Apart

Inside the chrome housing sits the same high-output capsule architecture that powers Shure's BETA 58A, paired with a vibrant blue foam windscreen and a self-tensioning swivel mount built into the body. The shock-mounted cartridge is engineered to minimise stand and handling noise, so the mic can be held, swung, or tilted without rumble reaching the mix.

Polar Pattern & Capsule — Stage-Ready Focus

A supercardioid polar pattern is the heart of this microphone's live performance behaviour, picking up the singer directly in front while rejecting sound from the sides and rear. That tight directional focus translates into high gain-before-feedback on loud stages and cleaner separation from instruments, monitors, and crowd noise.

• Polar Pattern: Supercardioid — tight front-focused pickup that fights feedback in live venues.
• Capsule Type: Dynamic — no phantom power required, ready for any mixer or interface.
• Off-axis Rejection: Excellent — keeps stage bleed out of the vocal channel.

Frequency Response — Tailored for the Human Voice

The 60 Hz to 17 kHz response is shaped specifically for vocals and speech, with a controlled low end that tames proximity effect and a presence boost that helps the voice sit on top of a mix. Plosives and rumble are reduced before they reach the preamp, so engineers spend less time cleaning up the channel.

• Frequency Range: 60 Hz – 17 kHz — vocal-tailored curve that flatters singing and spoken word.
• Presence Boost: Integrated — voice cuts through dense arrangements without extra EQ.
• Low-Frequency Roll-off: Built-in — curbs handling rumble and proximity bass build-up.

Build, Mounting & Connectivity — Built for the Road

A rugged die-cast casing protects the cartridge from drops, tosses, and the general abuse of touring, while the integrated swivel mount eliminates the need for a separate clip. Connection is straightforward via a standard XLR cable into any mixer, audio interface, or PA system, and the included zippered pouch keeps the chrome finish protected between gigs.

• Connector: XLR — universal hookup to mixers, interfaces, and PA consoles.
• Swivel Mount: Self-tensioning, 45° forward / 80° backward tilt — fast angle adjustment without a clip.
• Package Contents: Microphone and integrated mount holder — plus a zippered padded pouch for transport.

Who the Super 55 Deluxe Is For

The Super 55 Deluxe is the right choice for live vocalists, tribute performers, podcasters, and public speakers who want a microphone that doubles as a stage prop. Rockabilly and Rat Pack tribute acts will appreciate the Elvis-era silhouette, while podcasters and broadcasters benefit from the focused supercardioid rejection and tailored vocal response. Anyone who needs a dynamic mic that looks distinctive on camera or under stage lights — without giving up modern vocal clarity — will feel at home behind this mic.

The Shure 55 Legacy — From Elvis to Today's Stage

The Super 55 line traces directly back to the original Shure 55 "Elvis microphone" that defined mid-century stage performance, and the Super 55 Deluxe carries that heritage forward with a modern capsule under the classic chrome shell. Shure has been building professional dynamic microphones for nearly a century, and the Super 55 Deluxe brings that road-tested engineering to performers who want both heritage style and contemporary vocal performance.
