Here's a Shure SM56 Unidyne III Dynamic Microphone from the 1970’s! Shure’s USA made Unidyne III series were some of the highest quality dynamic microphones Shure made. The SM56 was the top of the line version of the SM57 with a bigger transformer with two low impedance options, and a shock-mounted base. 

The SM56 microphone is exceptional for musical instrument pickup and vocals. With its bright, clean sound and contoured frequency response, the SM56 is ideal for live sound reinforcement and recording. It has an extremely effective cardioid pickup pattern which isolates the main sound source while minimizing background noise. In the studio, it is excellent for recording drums, guitar, and woodwinds.

The SM57's outstanding performance, legendary reliability, and diversity of application make this "workhorse" the choice of performers, producers, and sound engineers worldwide.
