Shure GLXD2+/B87A Digital Wireless Dual Band Handheld Transmitter
The Shure GLXD2+/B87A Digital Wireless Dual Band Handheld Transmitter pairs the premium Beta 87A supercardioid condenser vocal microphone capsule with the GLXD2+ transmitter body for superior, transparent digital audio in live vocal applications. Operating across dual bands of 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz, it provides automatic frequency management that selects the clearest channel for reliable performance with reduced interference. The lightweight aluminum alloy housing ensures durability while the included SB904 lithium-ion rechargeable battery delivers up to 12 hours of continuous use. Ideal for vocalists in concerts, houses of worship, presentations, and small to medium venues, the transmitter integrates seamlessly with GLX-D+ receivers for quick setup and consistent sound quality.
The Beta 87A capsule delivers detailed vocal reproduction with excellent gain before feedback and off-axis rejection thanks to its supercardioid polar pattern. The system supports easy infrared pairing and features smart rechargeability for minimal downtime during extended performances or events.
