Shure

• 1925: Sidney N. Shure founds the Shure Radio Company in the heart of Chicago. Microphones are not yet involved, but the company sells kits for radios and matching electronic parts. Three years later, Shure's brother Samuel J. joins the company, which from then on operates under the name "Shure Brothers Company".

• 1931: The foundation for the future is laid when development of the first Shure microphone begins in 1931.

• 1939: With the 55 Unidyne, Shure launches the first dynamic microphone with a single capsule. It is not only more compact, but also cheaper than the competition and quickly becomes the world's most popular microphone.

• 1942-1946: During the Second World War, the Shure Brothers Company is the Allies' main supplier of microphones and headphones. Shortly afterwards, all other Shure products were also manufactured according to the strict quality standards of the military. In 1946, the company name was changed again to "Shure Brothers Incorporated".

• 1958-1959: It is not only in the field of microphones that standards are set: in 1958, together with Columbia Records, Shure introduces the world's first magnetic pick-up for record players. One year later, the Unidyne 545 III, the forerunner of the legendary Shure SM57 microphone, followed.

• 1965-1966: Two milestones in PA history in two years: First, in 1965, the Shure SM57 is released, a dynamic microphone that establishes itself as one of the most popular models for vocal and instrument pickup. In 1966, the Shure SM58 follows, whose direct sound and almost indestructible construction make it the most popular vocal microphone of all time.

• 1973: Another microphone saw the light of day that is still popular today in barely changed form with broadcasters, recording studios, podcasters and streamers: the Shure SM7 (now available as the SM7B).

• 1989: The Shure Beta 57 and Beta 58 are designed to combat feedback on stage, as the supercardioid polar pattern consistently eliminates background noise. Even today, the two models are extremely popular.

• 1990: The L-Series Wireless lays the foundation for Shure to become the world's leading manufacturer of wireless systems within a few years.

• 2003: For its many achievements in audio, the company is recognised with the Technical Grammy from the National Academy of the Recording Arts and Sciences.

• 2012: The ULX-D digital wireless system makes wireless sound transmission fit for the future and impresses with crystal-clear 24-bit audio quality, among other things..

• 2019: The MV88+ Video Kit expands Shure's award-winning MOTIV series and enables high-quality mobile recording from your smartphone.

Of course, they all have first-class sound quality in common, but the manufacturer also places great importance on wearing comfort and design. Whether with cable or without, whether in-ear, on-ear or over-ear, whether open design or with state-of-the-art noise-cancelling technology, Shure headphones always live up to the manufacturer's great name.

For live applications, Shure also offers comprehensive in-ear monitoring solutions. Here, excellent sound quality is combined with exemplary suppression of ambient noise and great comfort. A milestone in this field was the PSM600 in-ear monitoring system introduced in 1997.
