​Up for sale is a Shure 55SH Series II Unidyne Dynamic Vocal Microphone (the classic retro "Elvis" style mic).

​The cartridge, diaphragm, output transformer, and built-in on/off switch function properly, delivering classic Shure vocal clarity and tone.

​⚠️ Functionality & Hinge Condition Note (Please Read):

​• Normal & Angled Positions: The microphone passes clean, strong audio at normal upright and typical singing tilt angles.

• Extreme 90-Degree Upward Tilt: When bent all the way back/upwards at the swivel mount (around 90 degrees), the internal audio lead pulls/disconnects and the signal cuts out. Returning it to a normal position immediately restores the audio signal.

• Cause: This is a common internal wire pinch/grounding contact at the swivel hinge joint. It is an easy fix for anyone handy with a soldering iron, or you can use the mic as-is on a standard stand without bending it to extreme angles.

​Key Specs & Features:

​• Cardioid Dynamic Polar Pattern: Minimizes feedback and stage bleed.

• Classic Die-Cast Chrome Housing: Vintage 1950s/60s styling with self-tensioning swivel mount.

• Integrated On/Off Switch: Smooth mechanical switch operation.

• Standard 5/8"-27 Threaded Base & 3-Pin XLR Connector

​Terms of Sale:

​• Due to the hinge wire cutout described above, this microphone is being sold AS-IS.

• Photos show the exact cosmetic condition of the chrome grill and body.
