Shure Launches UniPlex: A Cardioid Subminiature Lavalier Microphone For Speaking Applications
Shure introduced UniPlex, its new 5mm subminiature cardioid lavalier microphone
engineered to be the
ideal, discrete solution for speaking 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 award-winning 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.
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.
"We knew that the market needed a strong lavalier option that prioritized high-stakes speaking
environments with a directional pattern, in a much smaller, cleaner form factor," said John Born,
Associate Director, Microphones, Global Product Management, at Shure. "UniPlex builds on the
portfolio by featuring the same Plex technology cable for enhanced durability, yet it focuses on
creating clear, isolated sound, ideal for speakers, presenters, and educators alike. We're excited
to introduce UniPlex to our growing suite of exceptional lavaliers and headsets."
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.
