Abstract. We are interested in computing the $\rho $-numerical radius of the truncated shift $S_n$ on $l_2^n$. This value, first computed for $\rho =2$ by Haagerup and de la Harpe, appears as a reference in constrained von Neumann inequalities. In this paper, we give an effective way of computing this value in the general case, and then some exact formulas in particular cases.
