The TwinPlex dual-diaphragm technology yields extraordinary gainbeforefeedback, offaxis response, and low selfnoise while delivering lifelike, 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. Features � Exceptional sound quality from the all new TwinPlex dual-diaphragm element Robust low frequency response with flat top end Best in class specifications and dynamic range Consistent off axis response results in increased gain before feedback � Durability beyond the competition Exclusive, double helix cable technology with redundant grounding 3/20 Shure Incorporated Nanocoated frequency caps for reduced sweat out � Comprehensive accessories and microphone offerings Over 60 color, sensitivity, frequency response, and connector options available All new clips, mounts, and accessories designed on extended research and field testing � High RF immunity for use with today's digital wireless systems. � Paintable cables allow for discreet placement in professional theater applications. � Interchangeable frequency response caps offer adjustable flat or presence responses (TL45, TL46, TL47).

Refer to www.shure.com/twinplex for the most up to date offerings. 4/20 Shure Incorporated 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. Diaphragm Assembly Spacer Washer Backplate Assembly Contact Spacer Nest PCB TwinPlex cartridge exploded view 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. 5/20 TwinPlex Accessories Quick Start Frequency Caps TL45 / TL46 / TL47 TL48 Attaching the Windscreen Shure Incorporated 6/20 Lavalier Standoff Tie Clip Dual Tie Clip Vampire Clip Shure Incorporated 7/20 Sticky Mount Sticky Vampire Clip Lavalier Distance Threaded Mount Instructions Shure Incorporated 8/20 Shure Incorporated Accessories Replacement Parts MTQG/TA4F 4-pin Connector (Shure� Bodypacks) Neutrik MTQG 5-pin Connector Kit (Lectrosonics� Bodypacks) TL45 Lemo Connector for 1.1mm cables TL46/47/48/TH53 Lemo Connector for 1.6mm cables WA430 WA435 WA411 WA416 MicroDot adapters for -MDOT versions MicroDot to LEMO 3 Pin for Shure� and Sennheiser� Bodypacks MicroDot to TA4F/TQG for (Shure� Bodypacks) MicroDot to TA5F/TQG (Lectrosonics� Bodypacks) Furnished Accessories MD40LEMO MD40TA4F MD40TA5F -A Series Frequency Caps, Flat Response* RPM40FC Frequency Caps, Presence Response* RPM40PC Single Tie Clip RPM40STC Dual Tie Clip RPM40TC Standoff for Clips RPM40SO Vampire Mount RPM40VM Sticky Vampire Mount RPM40SVM Foam Windscreen RPM40WS Clear Sticky Mount RPM40SM Sticky Mount Adhesives (15 Pieces) RPM40TS Sticky Mount Adhesives (50 Pieces) RPM40TS/50 Neutrik Threaded Shell for WA430/WA435 WA445 Storage Case RPM40CASE *Not furnished with TL48 Accessories are available in Black (/B), Tan (/T), Cocoa (/C), White (/W), and Mixed (/M) color varieties.
