I'm glad I got this mic. Other performers really enjoy the sound especially the look. All around its a great mic. However, it has to be "screwed" into a mic stand unlike other mics they have holders. Would be nice if it was wireless as well but I still like this mic. I would not sell it.

I went into the North York store thinking I was going to buy the Shure 55SH series 2. The staff gave me excellent advice and I ended up buying the Super 55. Initially I was taken back by the plosives. However, it didn't take long for me to adjust my singing to minimize the pops. The tone that came out of my Bose S1 pro with the Super 55 was very pleasing to me and I am so thankful for the knowledgeable staff at Long and McQuade. No one microphone can do everything but the Super 55 I think deserve consideration in any mic collection. I should also add that I was shopping for a small PA system from Helicon and the staff at North York pointed me to the Bose S1 pro and the Bose also doesn't disappoint. Very glad I bought the Bose as well.

This 75 year old design has lasted for a reason! Beautifully updated, it's a fantastic live mic. I bought this mic in a bundle of gear and wasn't expecting much from it other than its iconic design, but found myself keeping it in my bag and using it exclusively on stage. I went from a beta 58, which I also enjoyed, but kept this as my go to. Highly recommended to anyone who won't sacrifice sound for look. With this mic you get both!!

Nice tone through my P.A. For recording ... gain is a must, mild compression to keep the nuances, but with the compression amount way up to keep volume variances in check. cool mic! Use a pop filter.

Good mic. love the look of it. sound quality is excellent. built in pop filter not very effective. not much noise with boom movement. it doesn't come with an on/off switch. but that problem is easily solved with a swich in the cord

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
