Super 55 Deluxe : Great Stage Mic But Some Practical Problems

11 years ago

Okay, so there are certainly better sounding, more transparent, mics for use on stage, but few that have the same visual impact and charm as the Shure 55. My daughter sings and the retro looks of this mic are all part and parcel of the show.

The lack of the switch as on the SH55 Series 2 is a shame, but the slightly superior sound of the Super 55 Deluxe is the trade off.

My only issue is that the mic cable XLR socket at the base of the mic is both too close to the mic support point and does not lock well, leaving the insertion of cables a tricky exercise and sometimes a slightly uncertain proposition.
