These mics are simply fantastic! They are a bit brighter that the sm57 and sm58, and this is very favorable for those who think those two mics are a bit dull. The classic chrome styling gives this a great retro look that continues to stand the test of time. I mean this mic is basically unchanged for more that 60 years! Congratulations Shure for making such wonderful mics that are still industry standards today. I personally do not care for switches on microphones, but you have the ability to lock these into the on position. Overall, I'm very happy I bought this mic and it will be staying with me from now on. Review: Excellent clarity and crispness - I was leading worship at a friend's church, and half way through rehearsal, he said, "Hold on, I want to swap out your mic for a different one". The mic he brought out was this one. At first, I was like, "Is that from a cheap karaoke machine?", but then he told me that this mic was allegedly Freddie Mercury's favorite mic, and it has a great clarity. I decided to give it a shot, and I was completely surprised. First, I hadn't even heard of the model, and second, that it sounded so good! The mic it replaced way probably $400 - $500, and it was awful, by comparison. After church, I went home and ordered this mic, and have subsequently used it at my church, once, already. I was leading a song with my wife, where I had to do delicate falsetto harmonies, and I felt like I had all the clarity and response I needed in order to relax and just sing. it was great. ## Features - Versatile, high-quality microphone with sound characteristics similar to the SM58 - Selectable dual-impedance operation - Silent magnetic reed on/off switch with lock-on option - The predecessor to the SM58 - Vocal microphone provides excellent speech reproduction onstage due to its cardioid pickup pattern - It features a wind and "pop" filter for vocals, a wire-mesh front grille, dual-impedance operation, and a silent magnetic on and off switch - Includes Shure A25D microphone clip ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0002MJCH8 | | Antenna Location | Singing | | Audible Noise | 58 Decibels | | Best Sellers Rank | #56,765 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #251 in Vocal Dynamic Microphones | | Brand | Shure | | Built-In Media | Microphone Clip | | Color | Gray | | Compatible Devices | Amplifier, Speaker | | Connectivity Technology | Wireless | | Connector Type | XLR | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (241) | | Enclosure Material | Metal | | Frequency Range | 50 hz - 15 khz | | Frequency Response | 15000 Hz | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00042406051798, 00424060517986 | | Impedance | 150 Ohms | | Item Dimensions | 10.1 x 4.9 x 3.4 inches | | Item Type Name | Instrument Condenser Microphone | | Item Weight | 0.28 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Shure | | Mfr Part Number | 565SD-LC | | Microphone Form Factor | Microphone Only | | Model Name | 565SD-LC Microphone | | Model Number | 565SD-LC | | Number of Channels | 1 | | Polar Pattern | Unidirectional | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Signal-to-Noise Ratio | 94 dB | | Special Feature | Clip | | UPC | 042406051798 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 2-year limited warranty. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Shure - **Color:** Gray - **Compatible Devices:** Amplifier, Speaker - **Connectivity Technology:** Wireless - **Connector Type:** XLR - **Included Components:** Microphone Clip - **Model Name:** 565SD-LC Microphone - **Polar Pattern:** Unidirectional - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Singing - **Special Feature:** Clip ## Images ![565SD-LC - Cardioid Dynamic Microphone - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51SuLGHbNrL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Classic Shure Microphone *by M***. on May 18, 2025* I have this and the 565sd.
