Company History

In a small office in Chicago Sidney N. Shure founded in 1925, the company under the name Shure Radio Company, which initially sold radio kits. Three years later, Shure's brother Samuel went into the company, which henceforth Shure Brothers Company was called. Within a few years, the company employed 75 people. Because of that, the general economic depression left Samuel Shure in 1930 the company, but the word Brothers remained until the renaming of the company in 1999, Shure Incorporated part of the name.

The collapse of the economy and stock market and the emergence of fully assembled radio receiver set, the young company to the test. A lot of the employees had to be laid off, the business came to a standstill. Sidney N. Shure completely changed its corporate concept. Instead of radio kits distribute, microphones have been successfully developed and manufactured. In 1932, with the 33N Two - Button the first Shure microphone on the market, followed a year later with the Model 40D, the first condenser microphone of the company. Likewise, the company tried to develop new technologies in 1935 placed it with the Model 70, the first crystal microphone before. 1937 succeeded the Shure developer Ben Bauer to construct the first directional dynamic microphone capsule: Unidyne. A technology on today nor any directional dynamic microphone is based. The first microphone with this capsule was 55 Unidyne his successor ( 55SH ) under the name "Elvis Microphone " became the microphone icon worldwide. During World War II Shure microphones produced for various purposes in the U.S. Army as oxygen masks, field microphones or other bugging devices.

In 1952, the Model 300 on the market, a ribbon microphone, with which the frequency spectrum of a recording should be substantially expanded. This technology is now used mainly in the production of studio speakers. 1965 Dynamic Microphone SM57 was presented.

Pickup Systems

Besides the development and manufacture of microphones Shure is acquired from 1937 through the production of a large range of pickups for record players worldwide a high level of awareness. 1958 was the production of pickups for playing stereo records.

Due to the general enforcement of the CD player in the late 1980s, demand declined dramatically after cartridges, and thus also stagnated the OEM business. Shure was considering to withdraw from the phono market.

Since 1995, Shure revised under a new management of the phono section its product range and manufacturing processes. This has made it possible to produce much smaller quantities to maintain the usual quality standards at a reasonable market price and to find reliable suppliers.
