DL4
DuraPlex™ Lavalier Microphones

General Description

The Shure DuraPlex DL4 is a professional MEMS condenser lavalier microphone that is ideal for both speech and perfor­ mance applications in challenging environments. The IP57 rated omnidirectional lavalier is dust resistant and waterproof, man­ manufactured for use in applications that require extended durability, uncompromised sound quality, and reliability. The subminia­ ture design and various mounting options provide discrete placement in applications for film, television, education, and corpo­ rate events. Each microphone is supplied with a storage pouch, single tie clip, sticky vocal presence frequency response cap, snap-fit windscreen, foam windscreen, and TA4F threaded adapter.

Features

• IP57 Certified dust resistant and waterproof/sweatproof headset
• 5mm omnidirectional subminiature design for discrete placement and improved gain before feedback
• 1.6mm PLEX Cable technology, paintable cable, and no memory effect
• Professional sound quality for speech and performance applications
• High RF immunity, compatible with digital wireless systems without RF interference
• Attachable Presence Cap included for tailored frequency response in speech applications
• Included furnished accessories for storage, mounting options, and wind protection
• TA4F and LEMO terminations for variable wireless system connectivity
• Included sticky mount (adhesive patch sold separately) for application requiring placement underneath clothing
• Available in Black, Tan, Cocoa finishes

Care and Maintenance

The DuraPlex omnidirectional microphone has been IP57 dust-protected, waterproof rated by extensive internal tests, so you can clean it using distilled water and a mild detergent when necessary.

Attaching the Windscreen

There are two windscreens for use with the DuraPlex microphone:

1. A slide-fit windscreen for use with the presence cap
   

2. A snap-fit windscreen for use without the presence cap
   Note: Do not use the snap-fit windscreen with the presence cap–the presence cap can become caught inside the snap-fit windscreen.

Note : Make sure to solder the shield to the ground collar.

Specifications

Note:

• All specification values are based on using a typical bodypack with 5 V bias input or the RPM400MTQG preamplifier.
  When using the RPM400LEMO amplifier, refer to the RPM400LEMO specifications.

• All specifications were measured with a 48 Vdc phantom power supply. The microphone operates at lower voltages, but with slightly decreased headroom and sensitivity.

Polarity
MTQG| Positive pressure on diaphragm produces positive voltage on pin 3 with respect to pin 1
LEMO| Positive pressure on diaphragm produces positive voltage on pin 3 with respect to pin 1
Cable Diameter| 1.6 mm
Cable Length| 66 in. (1.67 m)
Net Weight
DL4| 15.0 g(0.53 oz.)
DH5| 20.0 g(0.7 oz.)
[1]1 Pa=94 dB SPL
[2]S/N ratio is the difference between 94 dB SPL and equivalent SPL of self- noise, A-weighted[3]

THD of microphone preamplifier when applied input signal level is equivalent to cartridge output at specified SPL
