Shure Celebrates 91 Years In Business

Shure Incorporated is celebrating its 91st year in business.

Its audio products portfolio has been designed for a wide variety of users, including musicians, audio engineers, broadcasters, podcasters, videographers, sound contractors, content creators and music enthusiasts, and recently, the company revealed a number of additions to its range.

In the personal listening category, the Shure KSE1500 Electrostatic Earphone System features the first-ever single driver electrostatic Sound Isolating earphones matched to a USB amplifier. The SHA900 Portable Listening Amplifier is optimized for use with high-fidelity headphones and earphones.

The KSM8 is a Dual-Diaphragm Dynamic Handheld Microphone and joins the company's live sound range. For installed sound applications, Microflex Advance provides best-in-class ceiling and table array microphones for AV conferencing.

Meanwhile, in the wireless microphone category, Shure has provided new alternatives to the increasingly crowded UHF TV Band and has introduced ULX-D and QLX-D systems capable of operating in the VHF band.

There has also been changes to Shure staff over the past year; in November 2015, the company announced the planned retirement of long-time President and CEO Sandy LaMantia. Chris Schyvinck, EVP and COO, was named as his successor. Also, in January 2016, Shure mourned the passing of its Chairman, Mrs. Rose L. Shure.

"I am proud and humbled to continue the legacy of Mr. and Mrs. Shure," said Chris Schyvinck, President of Shure Incorporated. "Their shared vision, combined with the passion, expertise, and creativity of our Associates, has led us through 91 years of success. We will continue to provide professionals and consumers with more choices, greater freedom, and unsurpassed quality in sound reproduction."
