Are you Shure?
On this day in 1925, the Shure Radio Company was founded in Chicago, Illinois by Sidney N. Shure. Over the past 85 years, this company grew from being a one-man business selling radio parts to an international corporation marketing a full line of audio electronics and world-class microphones. To read more about the history of Shure click on the picture of the Super 55 microphone, perhaps one of the most recognized for its vintage design and vibrant sound quality. You can also find Shure on facebook and the blogosphere.
The vast line of Shure microphones offer a solution for every application; live or studio recording, vocals or instruments. I have had the pleasure of recording voice-over projects on Shure microphones. My favorite is the KSM44 given the full-bodied, warm sound it provides.
What is your favorite Shure for voice-overs? The KSM 44, KSM32, or KSM27? The traditional Super 55 or another Shure?
