Shure UniPlex, cardioid subminiature lavalier microphone

Shure has introduced UniPlex, its new 5mm subminiature cardioid lavalier microphone speaking applications. Offered in four colors and three connector types, UniPlex joins the line of subminiature lapels and headsets from Shure, including the omnidirectional TwinPlex and DuraPlex product portfolios, while providing a directional polar pattern.

Designed for corporate presentations and guest speakers in conference rooms, lecture halls, theaters, and arenas, UniPlex’s UL4 unidirectional lavalier microphone provides the performance of larger lapel microphones in a significantly smaller design, simultaneously outperforming the audio quality of similarly sized, subminiature lavaliers, says Shure.

UniPlex’s 1.6mm Shure Plex Cable technology reportedly ensures long-lasting durability and comfort for the wearer. The cable is said to be immune to kinks and memory effects thanks to spiral construction with redundant shielding. The cable is also a paintable.

Joining Shure’s subminiature lavalier offerings, UniPlex is available in Black, Cocoa, Tan, and White. It comes with accessories for usability, including a carrying case, snap-fit windscreen, and single tie clip. UniPlex is offered in three connector types—TA4F, LEMO*, and XLR. The UniPlex UL4 Cardioid Subminiature Lavalier Microphone is now available and retails in the US starting at $299+tax.

*Note: The Shure UniPlex UL4 lavalier microphone with LEMO termination is compatible only with Shure LEMO bodypack transmitters and preamplifiers.
