The Shure VPH is a long microphone handle designed to provide an extended grip for handheld microphones, offering performers and presenters an alternative to the standard-length handle. This accessory is constructed from durable, lightweight aluminum and features a matte black finish that matches professional Shure microphones. The extended length alters the balance and feel of the microphone, which can be preferable for certain vocalists who hold the microphone further down the body or for presenters who wish to have more distance between their hand and the microphone capsule. It is compatible with a wide range of Shure and other industry-standard handheld microphones that use a standard screw-on interface.

The VPH handle includes an internal XLR connector and a standard 3-pin XLR output at its base, maintaining a continuous, reliable signal path from the microphone capsule to the connected cable. Its design ensures a secure connection with the microphone head and provides a comfortable, non-slip grip surface. This accessory allows users to customize the ergonomics of their microphone without altering its sonic characteristics, making it a simple yet effective tool for personalizing stage equipment. It is particularly popular among vocalists in genres like rock and metal, where microphone handling style is an integral part of the performance.

For performers looking to modify the feel and aesthetics of their handheld microphone, the Shure VPH offers a straightforward solution. It enhances stage presence by providing a distinctive look and can improve handling comfort for those with larger hands or a specific holding technique, all while maintaining the professional audio quality of the original microphone.
