The Best Vintage Microphone
Posted by GuestPoster in -TV and Entertainment
There are two kinds of people who buy vintage microphones, die hard collectors and singers who really want a mic with that classic vintage look. Unfortunately the features these two groups of people want on a vintage microphone such as these are very different. Whilst collectors favour more antique pieces which embody the classic era of the likes of Elvis and Frank Sinatra, modern singers primarily want a microphone that just sounds damn good. This article is going to talk about one microphone which will suit both these parties, it has the classic look of the late 60’s vintage mics combines with state of the art acoustic technologies.
For several decades, Shure vintage microphones have been the industry standard, admired by both singers and collectors alike. Despite their obviously opposite preferences, singers and collectors all hold these types of microphones in high esteem and in many cases epitomize a quality vintage microphone. So what makes Shure mics so special? Well look at one of the brands most popular models, the Shure 55SH.
The Shure 55SH gives consumers the best of both worlds; it combines the classic look of a classic vintage microphone (courtesy of the UNIDYNE II design) with state of the art acoustic technology which makes the mic a great performer too. This model features very sophisticated anti feedback technology which minimizes the amount of unwanted shrieking produced when the mic comes into close proximity with loud speakers or PA’s. The Cardiod polar pickup pattern makes all this possible, it allow this vintage microphone to perform to optimum capacity whilst blocking out feedback.
The Shure 55SH vintage microphone retails for around £125, this incredible value for money, I believe they could charge up to double this price for such a quality instrument. The 55SH would be a welcome addition to any music buff’s collection, whether they are an avid collector or singer.
