Shure Incorporated is celebrating its 90th year as an industry leader in professional
audio.
From its humble beginnings as a one-man company selling radio parts kits, Shure
now offers a diverse portfolio of wired and wireless microphones, listening
products, personal monitoring systems, phonograph cartridges and conferencing and
discussion systems.
Milestones in Shure’s 90-year history include the introduction of the first single-
element unidirectional microphone, the Unidyne, in 1939 changed the way
microphones are made to this day; an accomplishment that was honoured with an
IEEE Milestone Award in 2014; and the SM57 and SM58, developed in 1965 and 1966
respectively, remain two of the most popular and widely-used microphones in the
world today.
Several recent additions to the Shure product portfolio have set new standards for
audio quality and performance. The Shure Axient Wireless Management Network
was the first wireless microphone product to detect interference and automatically
change frequencies. SE846 Sound Isolating Earphones feature a ground-breaking
low-pass filter, a true subwoofer that enables deep low-end performance without
sacrificing clarity or detail. The soon-to-be-released MOTIV digital products are new
plug-and-play microphone line suited for individuals looking to capture high-quality
audio for vocal/acoustic recording, podcasts, YouTube videos, field recording and
more.
“Our founder, Sidney 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 our customers and channel partners for their support over
the years.’
