Shure 565SD-LC Classic Unisphere Vocal Microphone

The Shure 565SD-LC is a dynamic microphone designed for singers, public speakers, and audio technicians who need clear, dependable sound in demanding live settings. Its cardioid pickup pattern focuses on the voice while helping stage monitors, crowd noise, and room reflections stay out of the mix, so the main message reaches the audience without distraction.

A built-in wind and pop filter sits behind the wire mesh grille and works quietly in the background, softening breath blasts and plosive consonants before they ever hit the capsule. This simple addition saves time on equalizer tweaks and keeps performances sounding natural, even for energetic vocalists who work the mic up close.

Selectable dual-impedance operation lets the 565SD-LC adapt to a wide range of systems. Use the low-impedance mode for long cable runs or modern mixers, or switch to the high-impedance setting when connecting straight into older amplifiers that expect that load. Whichever option you choose, the balanced XLR output stays ready for standard microphone cables found in stage boxes, interfaces, and portable PA systems.

During a show or presentation, the silent magnetic reed switch gives performers control without sending pops through the speakers. A small locking plate, hidden under the switch, can be engaged before an event to prevent accidental shutoffs. This detail proves especially useful for guest lecturers, wedding officiants, or anyone who prefers to focus on the moment rather than technical concerns.

The grille, made of strong wire mesh, protects the capsule from the bumps and drops that come with live work. At only 0.66 lb the microphone feels balanced in the hand and stays comfortable during long sets. When a stand is needed, the supplied clip secures the mic firmly, keeping placement consistent for predictable gain and tone.
