Hey head-fi.
I'm not particularly sure how to say shure (no pun intended...)
is it shaw/shore/sure or shoe-er?
Any help in clearing this up would be greatly appreciated...

I always end up saying shooer, but cant help feel it is incorrect.

I have an audio engineer buddy who uses Shure mics and other gear and he always pronounces it "sure". I've never heard it pronounced differently.

GRAY-DOH....

Definitely "sure"

Now if someone could do me the same for Klipsch.

Shoe-ray.

 

[Uncle Erik]

Like potato or tomato.

Yeah I always say Shoe-Ray like GTRacer mentioned. I dunno, "Sure" doesnt sound like a brand. Shoe Ray on the other hand sounds like something.

nopp, it's GRA-do, ending in an open o, that's what my auntie know-so-much said.

I'm saying sure, as in /ʃʊə(ɹ)/

The Shu is pronounced like CHORE. The ure is pronounced URIO. How is that possible? There's a silent accent tréma over the h, and a nonstressed accent aigu over the e. Neither are actually written.

It all comes together to sound astoundingly like churrio. It's about as useless as an accordion on a duck hunt to argue this point.

When i go to their stall at IT show..i say i wanna hear some sure iems. and they never correct me ..

so i guess its pronounced as sure.

 

[MaxMan]

They pronounce it "sure" in their official videos: YouTube - shureinc's Channel

Wow! Phonetic spelling and everything!

Sadly, I'm probably in the minority of people who can read the phonetic alphabet.
