Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Shure's black UniPlex UL4 is a subminiature MEMS lavalier microphone for speech and performance in broadcast, corporate, and conference work. Its custom cardioid element and RPM400 preamp terminate in an XLR connector. The 1.6 mm Shure Plex cable uses a dual redundant ground that also serves as a secondary shield; it is designed to resist kinking, has virtually no memory effect, and can be painted. A pouch, single tie clip, and snap-fit windscreen are supplied.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Broadcast speech and performance work requiring a compact cardioid lavalier microphone.
- Corporate presentations and conference environments using an XLR-connected lavalier microphone.
- Situations where a paintable lavalier cable with virtually no memory effect is useful.
