Shure was founded in Chicago in 1925 by Sidney N. Shure, initially as a radio parts supplier. The company began manufacturing its own microphones in 1932, and by 1939 had launched the iconic 55 Unidyne, the world’s first single-element unidirectional dynamic microphone. The SM57 and SM58 followed in 1965 and 1966, and both have remained in continuous production ever since, appearing on concert stages, in recording studios and at presidential podiums for more than half a century. Shure celebrated its centenary in 2025, making it one of the longest-standing names in professional audio. Today the company operates from engineering centres across five continents and sells its products in more than 120 countries.
Why Sound Engineers and Touring Professionals Choose Shure
Shure's position in the professional audio market is unique. No other brand comes close to the same level of universal recognition across wired microphones, wireless systems and in-ear monitoring in the live touring world. The SM57 and SM58 are not simply popular microphones. They are the de facto standard against which every competing wired dynamic microphone is measured, and they appear on riders for touring productions of every scale, from club shows to stadium tours.
Beyond wired microphones, Shure has consistently led the wireless microphone and in-ear monitoring market through decades of innovation. The Axient Digital Wireless system introduced features such as interference detection and avoidance, quadversity diversity reception and advanced networking capabilities that set a new benchmark for professional wireless performance when it launched. The PSM Series in-ear monitoring range, from the PSM 300 through to the touring-grade PSM 1000, has similarly become the standard reference for professional IEM systems on major productions worldwide.
This depth of professional trust means that used Shure equipment from the touring and rental market consistently holds strong value and remains in high demand on the secondhand market.
The Shure Product Range Explained
Shure's professional product catalogue covers wired microphones, wireless microphone systems, in-ear monitoring systems and conferencing solutions.
The SM Series is the heart of Shure's wired microphone range. The SM57 instrument microphone and SM58 vocal microphone are the most widely used dynamic microphones in professional live sound. Both are built to withstand heavy touring use and are found on stages at virtually every level of the live music industry. The Beta Series builds on the SM foundations with neodymium magnet structures, supercardioid patterns and higher output for applications where a cleaner, more focused signal is required. The SM7B, long established as a broadcast and studio reference, has also become one of the most recognised microphones in the broader professional audio world.
The Axient Digital Wireless system is Shure's flagship touring wireless platform. It supports high channel counts, interference avoidance, advanced RF management and full network control via Wireless Workbench and ShureCloud. Axient Digital is the system of choice for large-scale touring productions, broadcast events and high-profile corporate productions where RF reliability is critical. The ULX-D system sits below Axient Digital and remains one of the most widely deployed professional wireless systems in the rental market, offering 24-bit audio, high channel density and excellent spectrum efficiency. The SLX-D and QLX-D series cover mid-level professional wireless applications where a balance of performance and cost is needed.
The PSM Series covers Shure's in-ear monitoring range. The PSM 300 is the most widely used IEM system in the professional touring rental market, offering solid RF performance and excellent audio quality in a compact bodypack format. The PSM 900 extends this for larger productions, while the PSM 1000 provides touring-grade performance with full network control and frequency coordination for the most demanding monitor applications.
Buying Used Shure Equipment: What to Expect
Used Shure equipment from the professional touring and rental market is consistently well maintained. Wireless systems and IEM units on touring productions are serviced regularly because RF performance and battery reliability are critical on stage. Ex-rental Shure stock therefore tends to arrive in excellent functional condition, with normal cosmetic wear reflecting active professional use.
