TwinPlex™ TL46 Subminiature Lavalier Microphones

Overview

TwinPlex™ TL46 offers unmatched signal-to-noise, superior natural sound quality, and a high sensitivity output. Perfect for dialogue and medium SPL applications, the TL46 also features an ultra-durable 1.6 mm paintable cable, interchangeable moisture-resistant frequency caps with LEMO or TA4F connectors. It’s the premium choice when the message needs to rise above the noise.

Features

• The TL46 is ideal for a variety of theater, ﬁlm, broadcast, and live TV applications when additional output (8-10dB) is required

• Improved off-axis consistency yields accurate reproduction regardless of vocal source position or movement

• Best-in-class low self-noise and dynamic range for cleaner audio production

• Interchangeable sweat- and moisture-resistant frequency caps prevent sweat-outs due to an invisible superhydrophobic nanoscopic coating

• Paintable 1.6 mm cable that is immune to memory effect and kinks

• Dual redundant ground in cable serves as secondary shield for longevity

• Sound signature: Natural

• Sensitivity: High

• Colors: Black, Cocoa, Tan, White
