This Shure Super 55 Deluxe Vocal Mic is ~$60 more than the Shure 55SH Series II Iconic Unidyne Vocal Mic. Anyone own both? What makes it worth more?

My friend has the 55SH series 2 and I have 55 deluxe. After trying his I enjoyed it so much that I wanted to buy one of my own. I went with the 55 deluxe because since it has a beta 58 capsule as opposed to an old SM48 capsule it gives you higher gain before feedback. the frequency response is also more desirable having 60 Hertz to 17,000 vs. 50 Hertz to 15,000. So it's brighter and attenuates more of the low end that you really don't want to have on a vocal anyway. However both of the microphones do have different sounds and if you're after more of a lo-fi I sound the 55SH would be a better option but if you want a really awesome sounding one that is more up do date with todays technology get the 55 deluxe.

Still not clear from description - does the mic require phantom power?

No it does not. It is a dynamic microphone and does not need phantom power.If this was helpful, please consider purchasing from us (pixelproaudio on Amazon). We can help with support after the sale as well. We have it in stock and ready to ship. - Pixel Pro Audio

I don´t see any information if the cable is included with this mic

Leandro...there is one more important thing you should know if you want to build your own cables and it is that, in the case of a microphone cable, the connector "shell" ground--the horizontal piece above the other three pins--should be connected with a jumper wire to Pin #1 at both ends. A microphone case is NOT grounded if you don't do this and it can result in noise, hum or even radio frequency noises---especially if you hold the mic in your hand! There is a more complex version of this, but just do that, and you shouldn't have those sorts of problems.

No. Es un micrófono direccional; no es omnidireccional
