Shure DH5 DuraPlex Omnidirectional Headset Microphone (Tan, 3-Pin LEMO)

The Shure DH5T/O-LM3 is a headset microphone that pairs the proven DuraPlex build with natural, open sound for people who need reliable voice pickup while keeping both hands free. It uses a miniature capsule that stays discreet on camera, and the tan finish blends into a wide range of skin tones for theater, broadcast, house of worship, and corporate work.

The five millimeter omnidirectional capsule captures audio from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, so speech sounds full and clear without extra equalization. When additional brightness is required, the supplied presence cap adds a three to four decibel lift around 10 kHz, helping a voice cut through stage ambience or crowd noise. With a maximum sound-pressure rating of 132 dB, the mic can handle an energetic vocalist, an actor who belts, or a fitness instructor who works with loud music.

A silicone boom that remains flexible lets you position the capsule on either the left or right ear, and its feather-light feel keeps fatigue to a minimum during long rehearsals or extended broadcast segments. The 1.6 millimeter Shure Plex cable resists kinks, accepts paint for costume matching, and includes a redundant ground that adds strength where lavalier and headset lines usually fail. An IP57 rating means dust and moisture are unlikely to interrupt the show, whether the stage is outdoors, under hot lights, or inside a humid venue.

The three-pin LEMO connector links directly to Shure wireless bodypack transmitters that accept this connection type, creating a fully mobile system for performers who need freedom of movement. If you already carry Shure AD, Axient, ULX-D, or other compatible packs, the DH5 plugs in and is ready to go without adapters.

Because of its clean sound, rugged construction, and adaptable fit, the DH5 suits a variety of roles. Theater technicians can trust it on a touring musical, AV teams can deploy it for keynote presentations, and broadcast crews will appreciate a mic that keeps working after a sudden rain shower. Wherever dependable, unobtrusive voice capture is required, this headset makes the job easier.
