00:00:01.770 --> 00:00:05.230
2026 is a very special year for me. First of

00:00:05.230 --> 00:00:08.349
all, it is the third anniversary of the Chris

00:00:08.349 --> 00:00:11.550
Henson Conversation. And yeah, it's been three

00:00:11.550 --> 00:00:15.109
years and coming seven seasons as season seven

00:00:15.109 --> 00:00:17.789
is going to start really, really soon. On top

00:00:17.789 --> 00:00:20.789
of that, it's my 40th year being behind a microphone.

00:00:21.550 --> 00:00:24.929
Yep, 40 years of doing stuff like this, being

00:00:24.929 --> 00:00:33.840
behind a mic. a Shure microphone. If you look

00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:36.579
around my studio, I mean, I'm surrounded by an

00:00:36.579 --> 00:00:39.500
arsenal of Shure microphones. And when I started

00:00:39.500 --> 00:00:42.060
building the studio, I wanted nothing else, no

00:00:42.060 --> 00:00:44.920
other brand for my microphones with the exception

00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:49.479
of the Shure brand. And I have my MV7 and my

00:00:49.479 --> 00:00:53.859
MV7X, X's, as in I have a few of those, and then

00:00:53.859 --> 00:00:58.929
I have this SM7dB. nothing else than a Shure

00:00:58.929 --> 00:01:03.649
and I still have my SLX2 wireless microphone

00:01:03.649 --> 00:01:05.750
that I've been using for a very very long time

00:01:05.750 --> 00:01:09.069
I think it's time for an upgrade and this microphone

00:01:09.069 --> 00:01:11.450
down here is very special to me this is a Shure

00:01:11.450 --> 00:01:15.569
Super 55 it's a classic mic that Elvis Presley

00:01:15.569 --> 00:01:18.750
made famous because he really really rocked with

00:01:18.750 --> 00:01:22.109
this microphone as I have for 40 years it's been

00:01:22.109 --> 00:01:24.989
with me for a very long time and every time I

00:01:24.989 --> 00:01:28.819
do a Elvis tribute show Before I even get on

00:01:28.819 --> 00:01:32.120
stage, this baby here is on the mic stand, right

00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:34.519
front and center. And everybody knows something

00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:38.719
special is going to happen. And I still love

00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:40.939
this mic. And after trying so many microphones

00:01:40.939 --> 00:01:44.019
in the early part of my career, I started when

00:01:44.019 --> 00:01:47.480
I was 16 years old in 1986. When I was still

00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:49.680
in school, I got behind a mic and being paid

00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:53.469
to do my job as a singer and as a host. And I've

00:01:53.469 --> 00:01:55.629
done plenty of stuff throughout the 40 years.

00:01:56.209 --> 00:01:59.450
And I started with other microphones. But when

00:01:59.450 --> 00:02:02.590
I encountered my first Shure mic, I never looked

00:02:02.590 --> 00:02:05.709
back since then. It's full. It gives me this

00:02:05.709 --> 00:02:09.990
wonderful round tone. And nothing, nothing else

00:02:09.990 --> 00:02:11.949
would ever do for me but a Shure microphone.

00:02:12.389 --> 00:02:15.610
And because of my big love for Shure and supporting

00:02:15.610 --> 00:02:18.449
me for the last 40 years, and I've had this for

00:02:18.449 --> 00:02:22.199
a long time, I made a decision to have it. on

00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:26.400
my skin. Season 7 is upon us. The Chris Henson

00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:29.080
Conversation will be back on April the 17th.

00:02:29.139 --> 00:02:32.199

00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:32.879
