The Shure QLXD2/KSM9HS delivers professional 24-bit digital wireless vocal performance with transparent audio quality and over 120 dB dynamic range for natural sound reproduction in music venues, houses of worship, and presentation spaces. The KSM9HS condenser capsule features switchable polar patterns between ultra-narrow hypercardioid and wide subcardioid for precise control over feedback rejection and stage isolation. Operating in the J50A band with efficient RF spectrum usage, the transmitter provides reliable signal over a 100-meter line-of-sight range with quick IR sync to QLXD receivers and AES 256-bit encryption for secure transmission.
Constructed with a rugged all-metal body, the QLXD2 includes a backlit LCD for easy navigation, selectable 1 or 10 mW RF output power, and frequency/power lockout. It supports up to 9 hours of use with two AA alkaline batteries or up to 10 hours with the optional Shure lithium-ion rechargeable battery that reports remaining runtime in hours and minutes. The system pairs seamlessly with QLXD receivers and offers interchangeable Shure microphone capsules for versatile sound signatures.
