Shure SLXD2/N8SB-H55 Digital Wireless Handheld Transmitter with Nex...
The Shure SLXD2/N8SB-H55 digital wireless handheld transmitter integrates the Nexadyne 8/S supercardioid dynamic capsule with the SLXD2 transmitter body for professional vocal performance in the H55 frequency band (514-558 MHz). The Nexadyne capsule employs Revonic dual-engine transducer technology featuring two interdependent sets of diaphragms, voice coils, and magnets to achieve condenser-like clarity, crisp natural highs, detailed sound, and reduced need for extensive EQ. Its supercardioid polar pattern delivers tight directionality, high gain before feedback, and strong off-axis rejection, making it suitable for live sound in small to medium venues, houses of worship, conferences, and educational installations. The transmitter provides 24-bit digital audio with a 118 dB dynamic range and up to 300 feet of operating range when paired with compatible SLX-D receivers.
The rugged aluminum housing features an easy-to-read OLED display, infrared sync for quick pairing, selectable 1/10 mW RF output power, and support for two AA batteries or the optional SB903 rechargeable battery pack for up to 8 hours of runtime. The interchangeable capsule design allows flexibility with other Nexadyne, KSM8, SM58, Beta 58A, and Beta 87 capsules.
