Sound & Style: Shure Super 55 vs 55SH Mic Showdown

Let’s take a look at two Unidyne mics from Shure’s Classic Series: the 55SH and the Super 55. The style of these mics is so iconic that they literally inspired the microphone emoji 🎙

All audio was recorded into the Rodecaster Pro with zero processing or effects. I point out in the video when I’m using a Cloudlifter and when I’m not. You don’t need a Cloudlifter with these mics, but I’d recommend it if it’s within your budget.
