Shure SH55 Series II Руководство по эксплуатации онлайн [15/48] 776214

he 55 Series has led an exciting life. It helped to dene different eras, and it enjoyed front

row seating at noteworthy events of all description. Some highlights from its illustrious history

include:

When crooner Rudy Vallee scrapped his quaint, but old-world megaphone and switched to a

Unidyne, he became the rst prominent entertainer to adopt the technology for live performances.

General Douglas MacArthur used Shure Unidynes on the deck of the U.S.S. Missouri during

ceremonies ending the war with Japan in 1945.

The Unidyne is obvious in the famous photo of President Harry S. Truman holding up the

erroneous newspaper headline reading “Dewey Defeats Truman.”

Photos of Eva Peron delivering speeches clearly demonstrate her microphone of choice. True to

history, the Unidyne also made it into “Evita,” the Broadway hit musical based on her life.

The lm “Good Morning, Vietnam,” starring Robin Williams, made the Unidyne its virtual co-star.

The microphone was also seen in print ads and posters for the lm across the U.S.

In 1994, the U.S. Postal Service issued stamps that prominently featured the Unidyne. One was

the 29-cent Elvis stamp.

The list of major entertainers who used or are still using Unidynes would probably ll two

volumes. Just a few of the names from the list include Marlene Dietrich, Dean Martin, Jerry

Lewis, Tony Bennett, Buddy Guy, Tom Petty, LeAnn Rimes, Metallica, and Mariah Carey.
