The Shure 55SH Series II has a 50 to 15,000 Hz frequency response, a rated impedance of 150 ohms (270 ohms actual) and a sensitivity of -58.0 dBV/Pa (1.3 mV) at 1 kHz, open circuit voltage.
No. The Shure 55SH Series II is supplied without a cable and uses a three-pin connector of the Switchcraft A3 (Q.G.) type. Shure lists optional cable and plug assemblies, models C25B, C25E and C25J.
The self-tensioning swivel mount tilts the Shure 55SH Series II 45 degrees forward and 80 degrees backward, so it can be angled toward the singer or speaker and hold its position.
The Shure 55SH Series II has a net weight of 624 g (22 oz), reflecting its rugged satin chrome-plated die-cast casing, which is intended for a mic stand rather than handheld use.
Yes, within limits. Its cardioid (unidirectional) pattern minimizes pickup from the rear, so the 55SH Series II can be used in close proximity to loudspeakers and in adverse acoustic conditions where omnidirectional microphones would feed back.
