HEADSET MICROPHONE

OVERVIEW

With an easy-to-wear headset frame, DuraPlex DH5 features a neutral, full sound quality that lives up to the

highest audio standards on any stage or broadcast studio. Also available as a lavalier, DuraPlex has been

extensively tested to ensure an IP57 dust-resistant, waterproof rating*. The exclusive 1.6 mm Shure Plex cable

with DuraPlex won’t kink, offers virtually zero “memory effect,” is fully paintable, and simply lasts longer due to a
