Shure ULXD8 Digital Wireless Gooseneck Base Transmitter with No Mic (Black, X52) - ULXD8=-X52

Product Overview

The Shure ULXD8=-X52 is a professional digital wireless gooseneck base transmitter for use with Shure Microflex gooseneck microphones (sold separately) in government meeting rooms, boardrooms, corporate conference spaces, and commercial AV installations where wired microphone infrastructure is impractical. This black finish unit operates in the X52 frequency band (902–928 MHz) and integrates with ULX-D and QLX-D digital receiver systems, providing very low latency, long transmission range up to 300 feet (100 meters), and high channel count capability for multi-transmitter deployments. The gooseneck microphone is not included and must be ordered separately.

Product Description

The ULXD8 gooseneck base transmitter replaces the wired gooseneck microphone connection at the desktop, allowing Shure Microflex MX405, MX410, MX415, MX410DF, and MX415DF gooseneck microphones to operate wirelessly via the ULX-D digital wireless platform. This enables wireless table microphone deployments in meeting rooms, council chambers, and legislative spaces where cable management is a design constraint. With low system latency, the ULXD8 is suitable for environments requiring simultaneous live sound reinforcement alongside wireless audio pickup. Up to 200 ULXD8 transmitters can share a single antenna pair using Shure antenna distribution components, supporting large-scale legislative and conference facility deployments. Optional SBC250, SBC450, and SBC850 networked charging stations support fleet charging and battery monitoring across multi-seat installations.

Key Features

• Wireless Gooseneck Base Transmitter — Enables Shure Microflex MX405, MX410, MX415, MX410DF, and MX415DF gooseneck microphones to operate on the ULX-D wireless platform, eliminating tabletop cable routing in meeting room installations.
• X52 Frequency Band (902–928 MHz) — Operates in the 900 MHz band, which is often less congested than UHF frequencies in many commercial building environments.
• Very Low System Latency — Enables simultaneous live sound reinforcement alongside wireless audio capture in large meeting rooms and council chambers requiring PA support.
• Long Transmission Range (Up to 300 ft / 100 m) — Provides reliable wireless performance in large government facilities, convention centers, and corporate campuses.
• Up to 200 Transmitters Per Antenna Pair — Supports high-density multi-seat wireless microphone deployments using Shure antenna distribution, suitable for legislative chambers and large conference halls.
• 12-Hour Rechargeable Battery — Optional SB900C rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides up to 12 hours of runtime; also compatible with AA alkaline batteries for field replacement.
• Networked Charging Station Compatibility — Works with SBC250, SBC450, and SBC850 networked docking stations for centralized battery management in multi-transmitter commercial installations.
• ULX-D and QLX-D Receiver Compatibility — Integrates with ULXD4, ULXD4D, ULXD4Q, and QLXD4 receivers; frequency bands must match between transmitter and receiver.

Typical Applications

• Government council chambers and legislative meeting rooms
• Corporate boardroom and executive conference room wireless gooseneck audio
• Commercial conference center and meeting venue multi-seat wireless microphone
• Judicial and legal facility meeting room audio
• Commercial multi-purpose room and training room gooseneck wireless audio
• Government campus and municipal facility wireless AV installations

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the gooseneck microphone included with the ULXD8?
A: No. The ULXD8 is the wireless base transmitter only. Shure Microflex gooseneck microphones (MX405, MX410, MX415, MX410DF, MX415DF) must be ordered separately and connect to the ULXD8 base.

Q: What receivers are compatible with the ULXD8=-X52?
A: This transmitter must pair with a receiver operating in the X52 band (902–928 MHz), such as the ULXD4=-X52, ULXD4D=-X52, or QLXD4=-X52. Frequency bands must match exactly.

Q: How many ULXD8 transmitters can operate simultaneously in a large government facility?
A: With Shure antenna distribution components, up to 200 ULXD8 transmitters can share a single pair of receiving antennas, enabling high-seat-count legislative chambers and conference centers to deploy wireless gooseneck systems without proportional antenna infrastructure.

Q: Does the ULXD8 support charging via networked docking stations?
A: Yes. The ULXD8 is compatible with the SBC250 (2-bay), SBC450 (4-bay), and SBC850 (8-bay) Networked Charging Stations for centralized battery monitoring and fleet management across multi-seat wireless deployments.
