Shure DH5BO-MTQG DuraPlex Omni Headset Condenser Mic w/ MTQG Connection (Black)

Durable, High-Quality Audio for Professional Use

The Shure DH5B/O-MTQG DuraPlex Omnidirectional Headset Condenser Microphone in Black is a subminiature, professional-grade headset microphone designed for broadcast, theater, speech, and performance applications across Australia. Equipped with an MTQG (TA4F) connector for compatibility with Shure wireless bodypack transmitters, this microphone combines a neutral, full-range sound with exceptional durability, featuring a 1.6mm Shure Plex cable and an IP57 rating for protection against water, sweat, dust, and dirt. Its lightweight, low-profile design ensures comfort and discretion in demanding environments.

Clear and Consistent Audio Capture

The DH5B/O-MTQG features a 5mm omnidirectional condenser capsule, capturing sound evenly from all directions, ideal for applications where talent movement requires consistent audio levels without proximity effect. The microphone delivers a neutral, full sound with a frequency response optimized for speech and vocals, enhanced by an included Presence Cap that provides a 3–4 dB boost near 10 kHz for additional vocal clarity. With high RF immunity, it integrates seamlessly with digital wireless systems without interference, ensuring reliable performance. The capsule’s design offers improved gain-before-feedback, making it suitable for live stages, broadcast studios, and presentations. Note that the microphone requires 5V plug-in power from a compatible Shure bodypack transmitter (e.g., BLX1, GLXD1, ULXD1).

Rugged and Discreet Design

The DH5B/O-MTQG is built for professional durability, featuring a flexible silicone boom pivot system that allows placement on either the left or right ear for versatile positioning. The 1.6mm Shure Plex cable is kink-resistant, has negligible memory effect, and includes a dual redundant ground for enhanced shielding, making it fully paintable for theater applications. The IP57-rated design protects against harsh conditions, ensuring reliability in sweaty performances or outdoor settings. The headset’s lightweight frame and 5mm capsule ensure a near-invisible profile, ideal for discreet placement. The kit includes a case, foam windscreen, snap-fit windscreen, single tie clip, sticky mount, and TQG locking collar for secure connectivity. The non-detachable cable may be a limitation for some users, but its durability mitigates replacement concerns. Users report excellent sound quality and stability, particularly in challenging environments like masked performances.
