Michael Pettersen

Michael Pettersen is the unofficial historian of Shure. He can tell you everything you’d ever want to know about the long list of innovations and long-lasting microphone developments so much a part of the 80-year old company. Michael has also served in several roles in his 28-year career at Shure including director of engineering. Following his 2005 interview, Michael played a key role in the capturing of Kay Koster’s Oral History the following year. Kay hired Michael to teach guitar in her store when he was a teenager.  In 2017, he was given the title change to Director of Corporate History for Shure, which is fitting indeed!
