SH55 Series II : CLASSIC MIC!

Bought this mic based on the aesthetics (for photos) but it is a great mic. A little pop noise, even after I added a little more foam inside. I tested with thick and thin foam inside, and it did make a little sound difference (more muted) so I went for the thinner foam...which reduced the pops but did not elimintae them completely. If you want the best sound quality for vocals then try the Neumann KMS mics... but for the vintage feel..or the aesthetics factor then this mic is great! (Probably not best for studio use.) This is a classic mic and the technology and design have been obvioulsy developed over the last 60 years to improve mics, so I was happy as it was as expected after reading all the mic reviews....still love my Neumann KMS105 for my main gigs!
