how to install Shure TwinPlex TL48T/O-LEMO-A
- Step 1: Clip the lavalier onto the subject’s clothing at chest level for optimal proximity to the mouth and to minimize visibility on camera.
- Step 2: Route the cable along the garment, using the included clip or clothing fasteners to keep it secure and out of the operator’s reach, which reduces rubbing, noise, and snag hazards.
- Step 3: Connect the TL48T/O-LEMO-A to the appropriate input using the LEMO-A connector, ensuring a clean, snug fit that stays secure during movement.
- Step 4: Fit the windscreen or protective cover over the capsule to reduce wind noise and plosive pops during outdoor shoots or rapid motion.
- Step 5: Power on your recording device or wireless receiver, set input gain to a level that captures clear speech without clipping, and perform a short test with the subject speaking at typical distances (roughly 6–12 cm from the mouth). Adjust gain as needed for consistency across takes.
