THOR Shadow SH20 Replacement Microphone Cable

Cables take a beating. They get routed through clothing, bent around ear hooks, coiled up after every service or show, and occasionally pulled in ways they were never meant to be pulled. When your THOR Shadow SH20 cable finally gives out, this is the replacement you need. Built specifically for the SH20 headset microphone, this cable keeps everything matched and working the way it was designed to.

The cable is kevlar-reinforced, which gives it extra resistance to the kind of stress that typically shortens cable lifespan - tight bends, repeated coiling, and daily handling by performers or presenters. At 4.9 ft (1.5 m) in length and 1.4 mm in thickness, it matches the original spec of the SH20 exactly. The slender profile helps keep things tidy whether the cable is running down the neck or being routed under clothing to a beltpack transmitter.

You can choose from three connector options - TA4F, 3.5 mm, or MicroDot - depending on which wireless transmitter system you are running. The cable is also available in tan, brown, or black so you can match the color of your SH20 headset for a clean, consistent look on stage, on camera, or in front of an audience. Having a spare cable on hand is a smart move for any production team that relies on headset mics regularly.

This cable is designed for indoor use with the Shadow SH20 series. It connects directly to the microphone at one end and terminates at your chosen connector type at the other end. If you are using a MicroDot version, note that adapters are sold separately.

Compatibility Guidance

This cable is designed as a direct replacement for the THOR Shadow SH20 headset microphone. It attaches to the microphone's threaded socket using a clockwise turn until snug - do not overtighten.

The connector on the transmitter end determines which version you need to order:

• TA4F (Mini XLR 4-pin): Compatible with most Shure wireless transmitter bodypack models that use the TA4F connector, including many ULXD, QLXD, BLX, BLXR, GLXD, and SLXD/+ series transmitters. Confirm your specific transmitter model before ordering.
• 3.5 mm (TRS): Suitable for Sennheiser transmitter bodypacks that use a standard 3.5 mm locking or non-locking input. Verify whether your transmitter requires a locking or standard 3.5 mm connector.
• MicroDot: Used in conjunction with a separately purchased MicroDot adapter to connect to a range of transmitter brands including Lectrosonics, Sennheiser (with appropriate adapter), Shure and others. The MicroDot end connects to the microphone and the adapter connects to the transmitter. Adapters are not included with this cable.

Always match the cable color to your headset color for the cleanest visual result. If you are unsure which connector version is correct for your wireless system, do not guess - the wrong connector will not work and may not be returnable once used.
