In dialogue or monologue. Song or speech. A single word can affect the whole story. Through sweat, noise, and wear and tear, your little lavalier has an enormous job to do. Shure TwinPlex stands up to the toughest conditions to make every word a clear statement of quality. Natural audio at high or low frequency, the innovative dual-diaphragm captures the complete weight of your voice. And the capsule design maximizes effective surface area in an easy-to-conceal package. So sound suits performer, not the other way around.

Indoor or outdoor. Inclement conditions won’t hold production back. The fixed frequency cap features an internal hydrophobic woven lining that resists sweat and moisture. And the medical-grade cable technology flexes to fit the costume design and the demanding schedule. So your lavalier rises to the challenge, night after night.

The TwinPlex™ TL48 offers a tailored response with a mid-range rise that’s ideal for speech and dialogue applications, such as film and TV. Designed with leading audio professionals’ input, the TL48 is easily concealed in a costume or directly against the skin under wardrobe, and offers extensive accessories to ensure quick, easy, and secure mounting—all with no impact on sound quality.
