About the Shure TwinPlex TL48 Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone

The Shure TwinPlex TL48 is a premium omnidirectional lavalier microphone engineered for critical professional audio capture in broadcast, studio, and high-end presentation environments. As part of the TwinPlex series, it is distinguished by its ultra-miniature, dual-diaphragm condenser design, which provides exceptional clarity, wide frequency response, and superior rejection of handling and clothing noise. The microphone's omni-directional polar pattern captures sound uniformly from all directions, making it an excellent choice for applications where consistent audio quality is required regardless of the wearer's head movement or position relative to the sound source, such as in television news, theatrical productions, corporate presentations, and film dialog recording.

The advanced dual-diaphragm technology is central to the TL48's performance. This design significantly reduces mechanical and wind noise transmitted through the wearer's clothing, resulting in a cleaner, more intelligible signal that requires less post-processing. The microphone offers a naturally balanced frequency response tailored for vocal reproduction, with a smooth presence rise that enhances speech clarity without sounding harsh or sibilant. Its tiny, low-profile capsule is easy to conceal on talent, while the robust, sweat-resistant construction ensures reliability in demanding production conditions. The TL48 is typically supplied with a variety of discreet mounting accessories, including adhesive pads, magnetic holders, and lavalier clips, to facilitate secure and optimal placement on different types of clothing.

The microphone operates on standard plug-in-power (3-10V DC) supplied by most wireless bodypack transmitters or portable recorders, ensuring broad compatibility with professional wireless systems from Shure and other manufacturers. It terminates in a standard 3-pin microdot connector, which can be adapted to various transmitter inputs. By combining a miniature form factor with sophisticated dual-diaphragm acoustics, the Shure TwinPlex TL48 provides audio professionals with a discreet yet highly capable lavalier microphone that delivers broadcast-quality vocal reproduction with minimal handling noise, even in challenging acoustic and physical environments.
