Microphone manufacturer Shure Incorporated is celebrating its 90th anniversary. The company was founded in 1925 by S.N. Shure, who initially sold radio part kits. Over the years, Shure has developed a number of products which have set new standards for audio quality and performance, including the single-element Unidyne 55, the classic SM57 and legendary SM58.

Shure now offers a diverse portfolio of wired and wireless microphones, listening products, personal monitoring systems, phonograph cartridges, and conferencing and discussion systems. The company s products have been used by luminaries such as Martin Luther King, Jr., Elvis Presley, and every US president since Lyndon B. Johnson.

In 1939, Shure first introduced the Unidyne, a single-element unidirectional microphone. The achievement changed the way microphones were made. During World War II, Shure provided microphones to the US military, meeting all military testing specifications for its products, and the company continues to uphold this effort. Its SM57 and SM58 were developed in 1965 and 1966 respectively, and remain two of the most popular and widely-used microphones in the world.

Our founder, S.N. Shure, was dedicated to creating products of exceptional sound quality, durability, and technical innovation, says Sandy LaMantia, president and CEO of Shure Incorporated. His vision, combined with the passion, expertise, and creativity of our associates has led us through 90 years of success. We are very appreciative to all of our customers and channel partners for their support over the years.
