Shure SM35-XLR

Overview

The Shure SM35-XLR is a headset condenser microphone designed to deliver clear vocal sound while allowing performers to move freely on stage without using their hands. It features a cardioid pickup pattern that focuses on the voice and minimizes background noise such as crowd sounds, backline spill, and monitor bleed. The microphone’s electret condenser element covers a wide frequency range from 40 Hz to 20 kHz and can handle sound pressure levels up to 153 dB, ensuring clean audio whether you sing softly or loudly. Its wireframe headband and flexible gooseneck provide a secure and comfortable fit, keeping the microphone capsule precisely positioned during energetic performances.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
