Title: Good Enough For The King Of Rock 'n Roll
Review: The Shure 55SHII is the direct decendant of the original Shure 55 that Elvis made famous. That first 55 was actually much bigger than the following models and was affectionately called the "bird cage". I have a couple of those large 55s in my mic collection.Today's 55SHII takes the second, scaled down model, adds an on/off switch and has updated the mic capsule to a quieter, more modern sounding cardiod pattern, which helps control feedback while onstage near monitors or front of house speakers.The recent line that I've seen don't have the fit and finish that the originals have, but they still have that same classic look. And they sound even better today.So if it's the classic rock 'n roll look you want, there's really no other mic to get. Grab a couple of Shure 55SHII "Elvis" mics while they are still making them. If nothing else, they will look cool sitting on your desk or a shelf of memorabilia!
