Shure just introduced UniPlex, its new 5mm subminiature cardioid lavalier microphone for discrete applications where rejection of stage noise, an audience or close-proximity presenters is essential to conveying your message. 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 unique, directional polar pattern.

Designed for corporate presentations and guest speakers in conference rooms, lecture halls, theaters, and arenas, UniPlex’s UL4 unidirectional lavalier microphone delivers excellent, isolated audio capture, minimizing feedback with its custom-tuned cardioid element.

Previously, visually intrusive cardioid lavaliers were necessary to provide the gain-before-feedback and sound quality required in professional speaking and presentation situations. UniPlex provides the performance of larger lapel microphones in a significantly smaller design, simultaneously outperforming the audio quality of similarly sized, subminiature lavaliers. This makes UniPlex the perfect solution for speaking applications where sound-quality-for-size cannot be sacrificed, even in the noisiest environments.

UniPlex’s 1.6mm Shure Plex Cable technology ensures long-lasting durability and comfort for the wearer, while “making it easy for crews and engineers to apply the mics effectively and efficiently.” The cable is immune to kinks and memory effects, resulting in unmatched performance thanks to innovative spiral construction with redundant shielding. The cable is also a fully paintable, versatile solution suitable for any speaker or wardrobe.

Given the importance of high-quality audio at livestreamed and hybrid events, Shure has developed the Plex lavalier lines, including UniPlex, in conjunction with world-class wireless solutions like Axient Digital, ULX-D, QLX-D, and SLX-D. These wireless solutions enable top audio-professionals to execute events and performances flawlessly in the most complex setups and constrained spectrum situations on earth.
