Product Overview
The Shure RPM53B/O-MTQG is a genuine OEM replacement boom arm for the TwinPlex TH53 subminiature headset microphone, built for broadcast, theater, and professional speech applications requiring exact-match TH53 replacement parts. This black-finish boom arm terminates in an MTQG (TA4F) connector, the standard four-pin mini connector used across Shure's wireless bodypack transmitter lineup. When a TH53 boom arm requires replacement due to damage or wear, the RPM53B/O-MTQG restores factory specification performance and fit. It is the manufacturer-recommended TH53 MTQG boom arm replacement for Shure wireless system users.
Product Description
The RPM53B/O-MTQG maintains the TH53's clutch adjustment system, enabling fast boom arm length and pitch repositioning with a simple quarter-turn knob — a critical feature during rapid performer changeovers in theater or broadcast production. The black finish matches TH53B headset variants for consistent on-camera and on-stage appearance. The MTQG (TA4F) connector is the most common interface on Shure wireless bodypack transmitters, making this boom arm a natural replacement for users already operating within the Shure wireless ecosystem. The 1.6 mm cable retains the dual redundant ground construction of the original TH53, providing a secondary RF shield for reliable audio in wireless-dense environments. See the Shure RPM400TQG TwinPlex Preamp for wired TQG-to-XLR conversion if needed.
