"I USED TO BE SUCH A SWEET, SWEET THING...."

Did you know that you should never use this microphone

"Shure first began manufacturing their own products in 1932 with the introduction of the 33N two-button carbon microphone. The Model 40D, Shure's first condenser microphone, was introduced the next year, and the first of a line of crystal microphone, the Model 70, was introduced in 1935. With the introduction of the 55 Unidyne Microphone in 1939, the company's microphone offering included carbon, condenser, crystal, and dynamic microphones.^[2] Wired and wireless microphones together represent the largest category of Shure's overall business.^[8] Shure currently produces numerous series of microphones for various applications, including the SM, Beta, KSM, and PG series, as well as specialty consumer microphones, Microflex, and Easyflex (conferencing systems for commercially-installed applications).

One of Shure's most visually iconic microphone series is the Unidyne series, seen in use by heads of state and popular recording artists and performers from the 1940s through the end of the twentieth century, including President John F. Kennedy, Ella Fitzgerald, and Frank Sinatra. The Model 55 Unidyne is pictured with Harry S. Truman in the famous photograph where he is holding the Chicago Tribune newspaper with the erroneous front page headline "Dewey Defeats Truman." It is also pictured in front of Fidel Castro on the cover of the January 19, 1959 issue of Life Magazine and in front of Martin Luther King, Jr. during delivery of his famous I Have a Dream speech during the 1963 March on Washington. The original Shure 55 Unidyne microphone was designed by engineer Ben Bauer and first produced in 1939.^[8] The 55 Unidyne was designed to be a rugged public address microphone with exceptional audio performance, and was notable for its single-element, unidirectional design which was smaller, less susceptible to feedback, and less sensitive to ambient noise than other microphones on the market at that time."
