An amazing microphone that can be bought even new


The Shure SM63 small diaphragm moving coil omnidirectional.


Arrived today. Second hand. Ex church. eBay purchase. Made in Mexico, sligthly vintage?


Signal path:


Male singing voice - SM63L at 1-6in - Sony TC-D5 PRO - Sennheiser HD580


Very loud.


Very lightweight.


Very small.


Treble very extended.


Bass not offending. Very good.


One of the few mics on the planet with flat frequency response from singer's, actor's vocal chords to listener's brain.


(Omni moving coil mics have the diaphragm reasonance resistance controlled at mid range for broad band response like condenser directional microphones). See Microphones - Boré, Peus (Neumann)

It is worth noting the excellent sound quality Beyer M119 moving coil omni, serial number 3725 made in the 60's sounds much louder


The Shure SM63 made in Mexico is possibly one of the best microphones on the planet that can be bought new.


No s sibilant or p pop plosive problems.
