It is designed for commercial AV deployments — conference rooms, houses of worship, training rooms, and broadcast studios — that need dependable RF performance alongside AES 256-bit encrypted digital wireless audio. The KSM8 capsule delivers a controlled proximity effect and reduced off-axis coloration, giving presenters and vocalists clearer pickup than a standard dynamic capsule. This transmitter requires a ULXD4 receiver to complete the wireless system and is supplied in the G50 frequency band (470 to 534 MHz).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCommercial AV integrators specifying a digital wireless handheld microphone transmitter for a conference room, all-hands room, or house of worship need RF reliability and vocal clarity that stand up to daily use, and the ULXD2\/K8B is built around both. The Dualdyne dual-diaphragm design in the KSM8 capsule reduces the proximity-effect bass buildup that occurs when a presenter or singer works close to the microphone, and it also lowers off-axis pickup coloration so the mic sounds consistent whether the speaker holds it dead-on or at an angle. On the RF side, the ULXD2 transmitter uses always-available AES 256-bit encryption, meeting the security requirements common in corporate boardrooms, government meeting spaces, and other environments where unauthorized audio interception is a concern. Shure's Gain Ranging technology automatically adjusts the transmitter's internal gain structure to the input signal, so AV technicians do not have to manually set gain for each presenter or performer before a session starts. The transmitter's rugged, lightweight aluminum body and integrated antenna are built for the wear and tear of daily commercial use — training rooms, multi-purpose rooms, and auditoriums that see the microphone handled by many different users. Power comes from user-supplied AA batteries or an optional Shure SB900C rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack, giving facilities managers flexibility between low-cost AA operation and precision-metered rechargeable battery life for high-use rooms. As a component of the ULX-D digital wireless system, the ULXD2\/K8B requires pairing with a compatible ULXD4 receiver, and integrators should confirm the transmitter's frequency band matches the receiver and any other wireless devices operating in the same RF environment. For commercial deployments that need consistent vocal reproduction, dependable digital wireless transmission, and encryption-grade security, the ULXD2\/K8B is a strong choice for boardrooms, auditoriums, and broadcast studios alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKSM8 Dualdyne Capsule\u003c\/strong\u003e — Controls proximity effect and off-axis coloration for clearer, more consistent vocal pickup.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAES 256-Bit Encryption\u003c\/strong\u003e — Always-on digital wireless encryption for secure commercial and government AV deployments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAutomatic Gain Ranging\u003c\/strong\u003e — Adjusts transmitter gain to the input source without manual setup for each user.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRugged Aluminum Body\u003c\/strong\u003e — Lightweight, durable handheld construction with integrated antenna for daily commercial use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlexible Power Options\u003c\/strong\u003e — Runs on AA batteries or an optional Shure SB900C rechargeable lithium-ion pack.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterchangeable Cartridge Design\u003c\/strong\u003e — Compatible with other Shure microphone cartridges for capsule flexibility across a fleet of transmitters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eULX-D System Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e — Pairs with a ULXD4 receiver to complete a full digital wireless microphone system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTypical Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoardroom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConference room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHuddle room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHouse of worship\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGovernment space\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommercial meeting space\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-purpose room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-hands room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraining room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBroadcast studio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuditorium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x:auto;\"\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrequency Band (this SKU)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eG50: 470–534 MHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrequency Response\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30 Hz – 20 kHz (flat response; actual response is microphone dependent)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMicrophone Capsule\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKSM8 Dualdyne cardioid dynamic vocal microphone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEncryption\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAES 256-bit, always-on\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGain Control\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShure Gain Ranging (automatic)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTransmitter Body\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAluminum, lightweight, with integrated antenna\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Options\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAA batteries or optional Shure SB900C rechargeable lithium-ion battery (12+ hours runtime)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSystem Requirement\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRequires ULXD4 receiver to complete the wireless system\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat receiver does the ULXD2\/K8B need?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe ULXD2\/K8B is a handheld transmitter only — it requires a Shure ULXD4 receiver on the same frequency band to complete the ULX-D digital wireless system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use a different microphone capsule on this transmitter body?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.
