TwinPlex™ Lavalier Microphones

General Description

The Shure TwinPlex subminiature omnidirectional lavaliers are designed to perform better than other 5 mm lavalier

microphones for professional theater, film, tv, and corporate events. The TwinPlex dual-diaphragm technology yields

extraordinary gain-before-feedback, off-axis response, and low self-noise while delivering life-like, exceptional clarity free of

digital interference. The cable itself is ultra quiet and has been tested to be the longest-lasting, most dependable cable in its

class. The TwinPlex series features the most extensive accessories and connector options to date. TwinPlex 5 mm lavs not

only meet premium market-leading expectations, they exceed them.

The Shure TwinPlex Cartridge

Over 6 years in development, the patent pending, TwinPlex Omnidirectional element was designed to offer best in class sound

quality and specifications of any lavalier to date. It utilizes a dual-diaphragm design with two side firing elements as opposed to

a single, end fired design. By essentially doubling the surface area of the diaphragm in the same amount of space, the

TwinPlex design offers robust low frequency response, exceptional off-axis consistency, increased gain-before-feedback and

low handling noise, resulting in a new tier of performance for 5mm microphones.

Care and Maintenance

The TwinPlex lavalier dual-diaphragm has a nanocoating which rejects the build-up of grit from sweat and water. It is designed

to withstand being blown out with a can of air for quick clean-up.
