Shure 565SD-LC — Classic Unisphere Vocal Microphone for Stage and Speech

The Shure 565SD-LC is a cardioid dynamic handheld microphone built for live vocal and speech reproduction in auditoriums, houses of worship, and schools. Designed for performers and presenters, this model delivers a bright vocal sound that cuts through stage monitors without feedback. As the documented predecessor to the legendary SM58, it shares a similar unidirectional pickup pattern while adding a distinctive silver Unisphere silhouette.

What Sets the 565SD-LC Apart

Two design choices separate this model from typical stage dynamics. Selectable dual-impedance operation lets engineers match the microphone to either low- or high-impedance inputs, with the unit shipped in low-impedance mode for balanced XLR runs. A silent magnetic reed on/off switch with lock-on mutes the capsule without the mechanical click that pops through the PA.

Cardioid Dynamic Capsule — Focused Vocal Capture

A unidirectional cardioid polar pattern is the heart of stage-friendly vocal microphones, and the 565SD uses it to reject sound from the sides and rear of the capsule. This keeps monitor wedges and crowd noise out of the channel.

• Capsule Type: Dynamic — handles high SPL without phantom power.
• Polar Pattern: Cardioid — focused front pickup that rejects sound from the sides and rear of the capsule, keeping monitor wedges and crowd noise out of the channel.
• Frequency Range: 50 Hz – 15 kHz — covers vocal fundamentals.

Dual-Impedance Operation and XLR Output

Wiring flexibility matters when a microphone moves between portable PA rigs and installed sound systems. The 565SD ships wired for low-impedance balanced output.

• Analog Output: 1x XLR 3-pin male — universal mixer connection.
• Impedance: Selectable dual-impedance (low / high) — adapts to vintage hi-Z or modern low-Z consoles, so the same microphone can move between an old hi-Z guitar amp input and a modern mixing desk.
• Power: No phantom power required — plug-and-play.

Road-Ready Construction and Onstage Controls

Handheld microphones live a hard life, dropped into road cases and gripped through long sets. The 565SD is built around an all-metal chassis with a metal mesh grille that resists denting.

• Weight: 299 g — balanced in the hand.
• On/Off Switch: Silent magnetic reed with lock-on — mutes the capsule silently between speakers or songs, with no mechanical click that would pop through the PA.
• Package Contents: Microphone, A25D Microphone Clip, Manual — clip and adapter included, ready to mount on a stand straight out of the box.

Who Should Choose the Shure 565SD-LC

The 565SD-LC is the right choice for vocalists, public speakers, worship leaders, and event hosts who need a bright handheld microphone that cuts through stage monitors. Its bright treble character flatters close-mic'd singing and spoken word, while the cardioid rejection keeps stage volume under control. Schools and touring performers who want the heritage look of a classic Unisphere will appreciate the silver finish.

The Predecessor to the SM58 — A Woodstock-Era Classic

Documented by Shure as the predecessor to the SM58, the 565SD shares the same unidirectional dynamic design philosophy that has defined stage vocal microphones for decades. The 565SD earned its place in audio history with a famous appearance on the Woodstock stage, and the modern SD version adds the silent magnetic reed on/off switch.
