Product Overview
The Shure DH5 DuraPlex is an omnidirectional subminiature headset microphone built for demanding commercial AV, broadcast, and live presentation environments. With an IP57-rated, sweat- and dust-resistant design and an MTQG (TA4F) 4-pin connector, it integrates with compatible Shure wireless bodypack transmitters for hands-free speech and performance audio. Its low-visibility profile suits houses of worship, theaters, broadcast studios, and corporate events.
Product Description
The DH5 DuraPlex pairs durable construction with a neutral, full sound for presenters, performers, and clergy who need reliable headworn audio. The certified IP57 rating protects the capsule against water, sweat, moisture, dust, and dirt, making it a dependable choice for high-output, multi-use installations. The exclusive 1.6 mm Shure Plex cable resists kinking, has virtually no memory effect, is fully paintable for low visibility, and uses a dual redundant ground that doubles as a secondary shield for added reliability. The lightweight, bendable headset offers switchable boom placement to fit either side of the face, and an included Presence Cap tailors the frequency response with added vocal clarity (a 3–4 dB boost near 10 kHz). The MTQG (TA4F) 4-pin connector is intended for compatible Shure wireless bodypack transmitters. For installations standardized on the 3-pin LEMO connector, see the Shure DH5 DuraPlex (3-Pin LEMO) version.
