Shure DL4B/O-LM3-A DURAPLEX LAV Mic, Black, Omni, LEMO

Defy the elements. The DuraPlex subminiature DL4 wireless lavalier microphone is consistent, long-lasting, and resistant to dust, dirt, water, and sweat. Offering professional-quality audio for film, broadcast, speech, theater, and performance applications, DuraPlex is perfect for everyday situations but excels in the harshest environments such as broadcast audio and sound for film. Capture every moment with confidence. Rain, or shine.

DuraPlex DL4 wireless lavalier microphone has been extensively tested to ensure an IP57 dust-resistant, waterproof rating*. Whether shooting reality TV, mounting a professional theatrical tour, or wherever audio takes you, contending with the weather and other demands won’t slow you down with this waterproof microphone. As comfortable on the beach as it is in a broadcast studio, DuraPlex DL4 features a neutral, full sound quality that lives up to the highest audio standards.

The advanced 1.6 mm Shure Plex cable, first introduced with the award-winning TwinPlex subminiature microphone, lasts longer than competing cables due to a dual redundant ground which doubles as a secondary shield. It won’t kink, is fully paintable, and also offers DL4 users virtually zero “memory effect.”

• 5 (Dust) – Ingress of dust is not entirely prevented, but it does not enter in sufficient quantity to interfere with the satisfactory operation of the equipment.
• 7 (Water) – Ingress of water in harmful quantity shall not be possible when the enclosure is immersed in water up to one meter for 30 minutes.
