With continuous innovation spanning over 90 years, Shure has turned a passion for making great microphones and audio electronics into an obsession. Founded by S. N. Shure in 1925 as a supplier of radio parts and kits, the Chicago-based company grew quickly from a single-man operation to a company with over 75 employees before the combination of the Great Depression and availability of factory-built radios forced a rethinking of their direction.

In 1931, Shure began development of their own microphones, debuting the Model 33N carbon mic in 1932 and following with their first condenser mic, the Model 40D, the following year. The development and release of the Model 55 in 1939, the first single-element unidirectional mic, was a watershed event for the company. Popularly thought of as the “Elvis Mic,” the Model 55 rapidly became one of the most recognizable mics in the world and has retained its popularity over the years.

Broadening their range of mics due to the need for various military applications during WWII and branching out into phono cartridges, Shure continued to grow and innovate over the next several decades. The development of the SM57 and SM58 in the mid-’60s sealed their reputation. Shure continues to innovate today, with advanced analog and digital wireless systems, headphones, in-ear monitors and, of course, microphones that keep pace with the needs of musicians, audio engineers and listeners around the world.
