Shure microphone

Shure is one of the most prestigious names in the audio industry, renowned for creating iconic microphones like the SM58 and SM7B. Founded in Chicago in 1925, the brand has evolved from a radio parts supplier into a global leader in professional audio technology. Shure's products are widely used by musicians, broadcasters, and sound engineers worldwide.

While the company's headquarters remain in the United States, its manufacturing footprint is global. High-end and specialized components are still managed within their U.S. facilities, but the majority of high-volume manufacturing for their dynamic and condenser microphones occurs in their dedicated plants in Juarez, Mexico, and Suzhou, China. This global supply chain allows the brand to maintain consistent quality control across different market segments.

Ownership of Shure Incorporated remains private. Since its founding by Sidney N. Shure, the company has stayed independent of the large multinational conglomerates that own many other audio brands. Following the passing of Sidney Shure and later his wife, Rose Shure, the company continues to operate as a privately held entity, ensuring that its strategic direction and engineering standards remain focused on professional audio excellence.
