Shure TwinPlex TL46W/O-MTQG Wired Condenser Microphone

The Shure TwinPlex TL46W/O-MTQG wired condenser lavalier microphone is engineered for storytellers who demand crystal-clear dialogue and natural vocal presence, even under challenging conditions. Whether you’re capturing intimate in-room conversations, high-energy on-camera scenes, stage performances, or broadcast voiceovers, this lavalier is designed to make every word count. TwinPlex technology delivers a clean, articulate sound with low self-noise and robust off-axis rejection, so your subject’s voice remains clear andtrue through sweat, noise, and wear and tear. In dialogue or monologue, song or speech, a single word can change the entire narrative—and the TL46W/O-MTQG is built to ensure that word is heard with stunning clarity. This mic is crafted to maintain a natural audio character at both quiet whispers and loud vocal peaks, providing a consistent sonic footprint across environments.

  • Exceptional speech intelligibility with a natural tonal balance that preserves the warmth of the human voice, making every syllable easy to understand in dialogue-heavy scenes, on-air segments, and public speaking engagements.
  • Rugged, reliable construction designed to endure the rigors of field work, studio shoots, and live performances. The TL46W/O-MTQG is built to resist sweat, abrasion, and the occasional tug, so you can focus on performance rather than equipment.
  • TwinPlex technology for consistent voice capture minimizes handling noise and air movement artifacts while preserving subtle inflections, resulting in a natural sound that translates well to monitors, mixers, and recording software.
  • Wired simplicity with MTQG connectivity provides a straightforward, interference-free signal path. The MTQG-compatible design supports easy integration with compatible audio interfaces, mixers, and bodypack systems for reliable performance.
  • Versatile placement and discreet wear thanks to a compact lavalier form factor that sits close to the mouthline for consistent pickup, yet remains unobtrusive under clothing and wardrobe choices, making it ideal for dialogue-driven scenes and stage work.

How to Install Shure TwinPlex TL46W/O-MTQG Wired Condenser Microphone

  • Identify the best placement on the subject’s clothing to capture a clear, consistent vocal signal—typically near the chest or collarbone, away from fabric rustle and direct breath.
  • Secure the lavalier using a discreet clip or mounting method that keeps the microphone stable during movement and minimizes cable noise.
  • Route the cable along the body and secure it to clothing or accessories to prevent tugging or snagging. Keep the cable away from folds and zippers to reduce rubbing sounds.
  • Connect the MTQG connector to a compatible input or transmitter interface, ensuring a snug, locked connection to avoid intermittent signal loss.
  • Power the system with the appropriate plug-in power or phantom power source, then perform a quick gain-staging check. Speak at typical performance levels and adjust input gain to avoid clipping while maintaining a healthy noise floor.
  • Test for proximity effect and wind noise; if necessary, position the microphone to reduce pops and plosives and apply a windscreen or pop filter where appropriate for outdoor shoots or close-talk scenarios.
  • Monitor the signal with headphones or via the mixer’s meters, listening for balance across the range of speech, dialogue, or singing. Make final tweaks to position and gain to ensure consistency across takes.
