Used Shure 565S Unisphere I Dynamic Microphone with Atlas Floor Stand

Overview

The Shure 565S Unisphere I is a legendary dynamic microphone and the direct predecessor to the SM57, featuring Shure’s classic Unidyne III cardioid capsule. Known for its durability, smooth midrange response, and excellent feedback rejection, the 565S became a staple for live sound, broadcast, and studio use throughout the 1960s and 1970s. This example includes an Atlas Sound floor stand and flexible gooseneck setup, making it a great vintage vocal or instrument mic package with serious character and history.
