The Shure TwinPlex™ TL47 Subminiature Lavalier Microphone delivers expressively natural sound in a compact, professional lavalier built for the most demanding environments. Designed for theater, broadcast, film, worship, and corporate applications, the TL47 combines low sensitivity, exceptional dynamic range, and Shure’s patent-pending dual-diaphragm design to capture every word with clarity — without distortion.

With multiple connector options, color choices, and mounting solutions, the TL47 adapts easily to virtually any professional workflow. A 1.6 mm paintable cable, advanced moisture resistance, and medical-grade materials make it the go-to lavalier for flexibility, durability, and reliable performance night after night.

Natural Sound That Serves the Performance

In dialogue or monologue. Song or speech. A single word can change the story. The TwinPlex TL47 captures the complete weight of the voice — from low to high frequencies — using an innovative dual-diaphragm capsule with twice the surface area of traditional subminiature microphones. The result is natural, detailed audio that remains consistent even as performers move.

Improved off-axis consistency ensures accurate reproduction regardless of mic placement or vocal movement, so the sound fits the performer — not the other way around.

Built to Defeat Sweat, Noise, and Wear

No more “sweat-outs.” An invisible superhydrophobic nanoscopic coating protects the capsule from perspiration and moisture, preserving sound quality during intense performances. The medical-grade 1.6 mm cable flexes easily to match costume design while standing up to heavy use, tight routing, and demanding production schedules.
