What does the "S" mean on Shure mics

[Nola]

Say it has a model number like 500 and S is at the end. 500s

What does the S stand for?

Thanks!

'Switch'?

Cool, thanks. So it's the same mic as the non switch version only it has the switch?

Does the switch matter at all in terms of the mic's sound?

Nope, should be the same sound as its non-switch counterpart.
