Offered is a vintage Shure 55C Unidyne Dynamic Microphone, one of the most recognizable microphone designs ever produced. Often referred to as the "Elvis-style" microphone, the Model 55C features Shure's legendary Unidyne design housed in the classic chrome Art Deco body that became an icon of broadcasting, recording, and live performance.

This microphone has been tested and passes audio signal. No detailed frequency response or laboratory testing has been performed, so while it is functional, it may benefit from professional servicing or calibration to achieve its full original performance.

Condition

The microphone remains in very nice vintage condition with normal cosmetic wear consistent with age, including light scratches and handling marks. The grille is straight and presents very well. Please review all photographs carefully, as they are part of the description and show the exact microphone you will receive.

The microphone will be professionally packed with great care to ensure safe arrival.

Please contact me with any questions or if additional photographs are desired.
