The Access Pass: 40 Years, One Voice - My Journey with Shure

About this episode

Chris Henson reflects on his 40-year journey with Shure audio equipment.

Welcome to a very special "Access Pass." 2026 marks a massive milestone—my 40th year behind the microphone. For the vast majority of those four decades, I have trusted only one brand to capture my voice: Shure . From the classic Super 55 that defined my Elvis tribute shows in the 90s to the SM7dB powering my podcast studio today, Shure has consistently delivered that full, rounded tone I need. As a singer, emcee, and host, I need to focus 100% on my performance and my audience—not technical worries. I am so dedicated to this brand that I’ve made it permanent. Watch until the end to see the Super 55 tattoo on my right forearm—the ultimate tribute to 40 years of sound. Season 7 Premiere: Fri 17 Apr at 8PM on CCBTV Podcasts!
