"In celebrating the 100th anniversary of Shure microphones, The Church Studio pays tribute to a legacy of sound and the extraordinary evolution of microphones that has transformed music, broadcasting, and live performance," reads a statement. "The exhibit at The Church Studio honoring Shure's milestone features some of the most iconic microphones in the company's past, including renowned types that have revolutionized the field."Founder Teresa Knox said, “It's an incredible honor to host the Shure exhibit at The Church Studio; two legacy brands coming together to celebrate over a century of innovation in sound. In 2025, The Church Studio marks 110 years, and Shure celebrates its 100th anniversary. America's music landscape would look vastly different without Shure. From Leon Russell's era in the 1970s to today, Shure has played a critical role in shaping our studio and the recording industry at large, with great sound engineers, producers, and musicians coming together. Shure's impact on music is unquestionable, and we're proud to pay tribute to their extraordinary legacy through this exhibit.”Included among the mics on display are:Model 11N Hand Microphone (1933)
