What Is the THOR AV Shadow SH20 Headset Microphone and Who Is It For?
The SH20 is a head-worn omnidirectional microphone engineered for speech and vocal reinforcement. It delivers exceptional clarity while staying virtually invisible to the audience — perfect for:
Houses of Worship
Live Stage Performances
Corporate Meetings & Webinars
Lecture Halls & Classrooms
Home Streaming Setups
Built for today’s wireless AV world, this mic adapts to your gear, fits comfortably all day, and sounds incredible in any space.
Key Features That Matter
Discreet Design
The ultra-thin boom and compact capsule blend into the skin or wardrobe — a huge win for camera-friendly environments and distraction-free services.
Omnidirectional Precision
Capture every nuance of your voice naturally. The SH20’s capsule delivers flat, uncolored audio, even when you turn your head or move on stage.
ReEx™ Adjustable Boom
Custom-fit for every speaker. Retract, extend, and place the boom exactly where you need it for optimal sound and minimal plosives.
Dual-Ear or Single-Ear Wearability
Switch ears easily or go dual-ear for more stability. Built for long sessions and active movement without slipping.
Connector Compatibility
Works with major wireless systems via a variety of connectors: TA4F, 3.5 mm locking, MicroDot, LEMO, and more.
Featherlight Comfort
Weighing just ~5g, the SH20 almost disappears on your face — no pulling, no fatigue, just performance.
Multiple Color Options
Available in tan, brown, and black to blend seamlessly with different skin tones or wardrobe choices.
SwivelFit™ Reversible Design
Allows users to wear the SH20 on either ear with a fully reversible mount. Whether you're left- or right-handed, wearing glasses, or need to share mics between multiple users — this feature makes fit adjustment fast, easy, and comfortable.
Real-World Use Cases
Worship Services
Pastors and worship leaders stay hands-free with flawless vocal clarity — even during energetic segments or movement on stage.
Theater & Performance
Discreet for actors, secure during movement, and reliable across a wide dynamic range.
Corporate Meetings
Perfect for clean, polished on-camera presentations and hybrid meetings where professionalism matters.
Classrooms & Lectures
Professors and teachers love the comfort and ease of setup, especially when moving between rooms or teaching hybrid courses.
Installation & Setup Tips
Choose the Right Connector
Match the SH20’s connector to your wireless bodypack to avoid surprises.
Position Like a Pro
Place the boom about 1/2 inch from the corner of the mouth — off-center to prevent popping or breathing sounds.
EQ for the Room
In most rooms, a high pass filter is recommended.
Secure the Fit
Dual-ear configuration offers better hold.
Keep It Clean
Wipe the boom and capsule regularly, and keep extra windscreens on hand.
