The Shure PE55 Unidyne stands as a landmark in microphone history—based on the Unidyne capsule, the first single-element directional capsule ever produced. This model was introduced in the 70s, and is factory-preset to high impedance. Its iconic bulletproof design delivers focused cardioid pickup with the unmistakable midrange presence that defined early rock and broadcast vocals. The balanced frequency response handles everything from smooth announcer tones to aggressive stage work, while the die-cast zinc body shrugs off decades of use.

This American-made example shows light cosmetic wear but maintains flawless mechanical and electrical function. The grille bears minor dings without compromising acoustic integrity, and the original Unidyne element delivers noise-free performance. No modifications or internal issues are present.
