DH5
DuraPlex Omnidirectional Subminiature Headset Microphone
Lightweight and comfortable to wear, the DuraPlex DH5 headset microphone offers a neutral, full sound that will lift your performance, speech, musical, or broadcast. Rely on the DH5 headset microphone in the harshest environments, thanks to its long-lasting Shure Plex cable and a certified IP57 rating, which means you’re protected against water, sweat, moisture, dust, and dirt. Capture every moment with confidence.
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 dual redundant ground, which doubles as a secondary shield.
In the theater, onstage, or on television, you can depend on the DuraPlex DH5 headset microphone for consistent professional sound, durability, and longevity.
*IP Code, published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), rates the degree of protection against dust (first number) and water (second number). An IP57 rating classifies DuraPlex as follows:
- 5 (Dust) – Ingress of dust is not entirely prevented, but it does not enter in sufficient quantity to interfere with the satisfactory operation of the equipment.
- 7 (Water) – Ingress of water in harmful quantity shall not be possible when the enclosure is immersed in water up to one meter for 30 minutes.
