Shure, founded 1925 · 2009

A wireless gold-plated microphone (.1ab) and case (.2) used by Oprah Winfrey during episodes of Season 24 of The Oprah Winfrey Show. The hand-held microphone has a circular gold mesh wire grill with a flattened top covering the foam interior of the microphone. The grill is bisected around the sides by a band of gold-plated metal. The grill is attached to a gold-plated cylindrical handle. The handle is made from two pieces, with a small rectangular digital display screen on the top half of the handle bordered by gray plastic, with "G1 470-530 MHZ" printed in white type below it. A smaller round-edged cylindrical piece of black plastic protrudes from the bottom of the handle with the text "SHURE" in relief on the tip and an On/Off switch where the tip meets the handle. The bottom half of the handle (b) screws off to reveal a battery chamber that holds two (2) AA batteries. Opposite the battery chamber is a digital push-button menu with four (4) buttons reading clockwise from top: up-facing arrow, "enter", down-facing arrow, "exit". The button menu is directly below the digital display screen on the exterior of the top half of the handle. Beneath the buttons is a manufacturer's label with serial and model numbers, and a key for the menu buttons.
