The UniPlex UL4 lavalier’s cardioid polar pattern picks up less background sound and focuses the audio capture on the wearer.
At only 5mm, the UL4 still provides a visually discreet, subminiature profile, and a snap-fit windscreen is included. Shure’s Plex cabling features a dual-resistant ground to provide good shielding from interference. The cable is only 1.6mm in diameter and is engineered to resist any memory effects and kinks.
The UniPlex U4 lavalier is available in four color choice, black, cocoa, tan, and white. It comes with a case, windscreen, and tie clip. The mic is available with TA4F or LEMO connectors for use with compatible wireless microphone transmitters. It can also be purchased with an XLR connector.

The Shure UL4 UniPlex Cardioid Subminiature Lavalier Microphone with a LEMO connector is now available to pre-order for $319 USD. The version with a TAAF connector costs $299 USD.
