Shure 565SD

The Shure 565SD is a dual impedance, unidirectional dynamic vocal microphone and the predecessor to the popular Shure SM58. This Classic Unisphere design mic was made famous for it's use on the Woodstock stage.

The durable wire mesh grille and wind and pop filter have made it a successful live vocal mic owing to it's ruggedness and tour worthy durability. Although shipped connected for low-impedance operation, it is user switchable to dual impedance as well which increases the output level. This makes it compatible with a broader range of mic preamps which are usually suited for either high or low output microphones. For example, a vintage tube mic preamp would require a higher signal coming into it in order to be effective. Usually this is used as a vocal mic but may also be used in lectures and public speaking as well.
