Shure has unveiled TwinPlex a new line of premium subminiature (5mm) omnidirectional lavalier and headset microphones, comprising four lavaliers (TL45, TL46, TL47, TL48) and the TH53 ultra-light, fully-adjustable headset microphone.

A new patent-pending capsule technology employs a unique dual-diaphragm omnidirectional design that claims ‘extraordinary off-axis consistency and industry-leading low self-noise creating lifelike vocal clarity and warmth’. Developed with input from leading audio professionals, TwinPlex supports the diverse needs of theatre, broadcast, film and television, and corporate presentations to produce high-quality audio production with superior dependability.

To simulate years of intense use, the ultra-thin, TwinPlex cable was flexed, stretched, and pulled to the absolute limit in internal tests. Available in 1.1mm and 1.6mm options, the paintable cables are immune to kinks and memory effects, resulting in never-before-seen flex performance due to an innovative spiral construction with redundant shielding.

Its superhydrophobic coating and interchangeable sweat-resistant frequency caps keep perspiration and moisture from upstaging the audio, while the medical-grade cable technology flexes to fit the costume design and demanding schedules that often come with associated uses.

‘In developing TwinPlex, we gathered valuable input from leading industry professionals at every stage of the process and extensively tested prototypes to ensure we were ready,’ saysShure Senior Global Product Manager, John Born. ‘This resulted in a comprehensive portfolio of more than 60 versions in a variety of colour, connector, cable, frequency response, and sensitivity to meet the demands of any application when you need amazing sound quality and unprecedented durability.’
