The Shure ULXD2/SM86 is a digital handheld wireless microphone transmitter compatible with ULX-D and QLX-D receivers. It comes equipped with an SM86 cardioid condenser capsule that features a frequency response tailored to reproduce vocals with clarity. The cardioid polar pattern isolates the main sound source while minimizing unwanted background noise.
With a rugged, yet lightweight aluminum housing, the ULXD2/SM86 transmitter delivers pristine audio quality and RF performance, AES 256-bit encryption for secure transmission, and advanced rechargeability options for professional sound reinforcement applications.
Clear, Accurate Audio with Interchangeable Capsule
The unit delivers clear, reliable 24-bit/48 kHz digital audio over its entire 330' range, great for live performances and presentations in music venues, houses of worship, and conference spaces.
The SM86 capsule features a two-stage “pop” filter that reduces wind and breath noise.
The interchangeable capsule design allows you to replace the SM86 capsule with a Shure capsule that’s ideal for your application and simply screw it onto the transmitter—including SM58, KSM8, SM87A, Beta 58A, Beta 87C, KSM9 capsules, and more.
