General Description

Shure Incorporated

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

phones 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 interfer

ence. The cable itself is ultra quiet and has been tested to be the longest-lasting, most dependable cable in its class. The Twin

Plex series features the most extensive accessories and connector options to date. TwinPlex 5 mm lavs not only meet premi

um 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 Twin

Plex 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.

Hirose Wiring for Sony Bodypacks

Notes:

•

When using TwinPlex mics with Sony Hirose 4pin bodypacks, Shure recommends purchasing Shure –MTQG versions

and not –NC versions. This facilitates an easier termination due to the lack of circuitry required in Shure 3wire/MTQG

TA4F products.

•

Due to the thin cable on TwinPlex and the large boot on Hirose connectors, heat shrink may be required to build up the ca

ble under the boot where the crimp connection is made and where the cable exits the boot

•

The TwinPlex Microdot (-MDOT) version can be used with 4-pin Hirose adapters from DPA (DPA part # DAD6008)

RPM400 Preamplifiers

The RPM400 preamplifiers offer exceptional dynamic range utilizing an active gain circuit in a concise and small package.

They are offered in two connector versions: TA4F and LEMO, which allows you to quickly take a wireless TL microphone and

make it a wired solution. These preamplifiers require phantom power and can efficiently operate across a wide range of supply

voltages from 12-48v.

Features

•

Active circuit design with neutral gain mimics wireless for consistent gain output across wired or wireless applications.

•

High RF immunity against unwanted interference.

•

Short, compact design.

•

Belt clip and table mounting kits for easy placement for a variety of applications.

Preamplifier Mounting Kit

TwinPlex XLR microphones include an under table mounting kit for temporarily or permanently mounting the amplifier. It in

cludes preamplifier clip, 4 screws, and premium dual lock adhesive. The mounting kit and accessories are also sold separately.
