The Shure SLXD2/N8CB-J52 digital wireless handheld transmitter combines the Nexadyne 8/C cardioid dynamic microphone capsule with the SLXD2 transmitter body for clear, professional vocal performance in the J52 frequency band (558-602 MHz and 614-616 MHz). The Nexadyne capsule utilizes Shure Revonic dual-engine transducer technology with two interdependent sets of diaphragms, voice coils, and magnets to deliver condenser-like clarity, crisp natural highs, and detailed sound with reduced need for EQ. Its cardioid polar pattern provides focused pickup, good gain before feedback, and solid off-axis rejection, making it suitable for live sound in small to medium venues, houses of worship, conferences, and educational installations. The transmitter offers 24-bit digital audio, selectable 1/10 mW RF output, and up to 328 feet of operating range when paired with compatible SLX-D receivers.
Constructed with a lightweight, durable aluminum housing, the unit features an easy-to-read OLED display, infrared sync for quick pairing, and support for two AA batteries or the optional SB903 rechargeable battery pack providing up to 8 hours of runtime. The interchangeable capsule design allows compatibility with other Nexadyne, KSM8, SM58, Beta 58A, and Beta 87 capsules for system flexibility.
