The black Shure ULXD2/N8SN is a digital handheld wireless microphone transmitter compatible with ULX-D receivers. It comes equipped with a Nexadyne 8/S dynamic supercardioid capsule, featuring an innovative Revonic dual-transducer design that uses two separate, but interdependent sets of diaphragms, voice coils, and magnets. This unique technology gives this dynamic mic a condenser-like clarity with a crisp, yet natural high-end and plenty of detail—allowing vocalists to worry less about mic technique and instead focus on delivering powerful performances. The supercardioid polar pattern delivers tight directionality, high gain before feedback, and enhanced rejection of off-axis sound.

With a rugged, yet lightweight aluminum housing, the ULXD2/N8SN transmitter delivers pristine audio quality and RF performance, AES 256-bit encryption for secure transmission, and advanced rechargeability options for professional sound-reinforcement applications.

• The ULXD2 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.
• Shure's Nexadyne Revonic system is an innovative dynamic microphone design that uses two matched dynamic transducers, working in conjunction, to provide more opportunity for both greater sound quality and the rejection of unwanted signal.
• Wiring the transducers out-of-phase cancels mechanical vibration, so self-noise is actively zeroed out. This makes traditional pneumatic shockmounts unnecessary, and allows the transducers to be optimized for acoustic performance.
• Vocal performers will experience natural and vivid clarity when performing—enabled by a cartridge design that optimizes signal output acoustically, producing more of the desired sound source and less environmental and handling noise.
• Engineers will receive stronger and clearer output, resulting in fewer EQ corrections that are often necessary with other mics to retain vocal clarity within the mix.
• The supercardioid polar pattern provides tightly focused audio capture centered on the performer in front of the mic, reducing bleed from other sources for a clearer sound with substantially less feedback issues from on-stage monitors.
• The interchangeable capsule design allows you to replace the Nexadyne 8/S capsule with a Shure capsule that’s ideal for your application and simply screw it onto the transmitter—including the Nexadyne 8/C (cardioid), KSM8, KSM9, SM58, Beta 58A, Beta 87A, and Beta 87C capsules.

• The transmitter quickly syncs with a wireless receiver via infrared at the touch of a button.
• Shure Proprietary Gain Ranging automatically adjusts the mic input level, eliminating the need for transmitter gain adjustments.
• The power button conveniently doubles as mute switch, while preserving RF lock.
• Frequency and power lockout functions prevent accidental or unauthorized changes during events.
• A backlit LCD with easy-to-navigate menu and controls lets you quickly access frequency, group, and channel settings, along with mute and lock status, RF output, and remaining battery life.
• 1/10/20mW selectable RF output power allows you to increase either the transmitter's range or the number of mics operating simultaneously.

• Operates for up to 11 hours on two AA batteries.
• Optional Shure SB900A lithium-ion rechargeable battery pack offers intelligent power management with over 12 hours of battery life, precision metering in hours and minutes, and zero memory effect.
• External charging contacts allow for docked battery charging with the SBC200 dual-docking charger (available separately).
• The networkable SBC220 charger (available separately) allows for remote power monitoring via Shure’s Wireless Workbench software.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can you use any XLR microphone - AKG, Sennheiser, Rode, Shure - with the plug-in transmitter, or does it have to be a Sony mic?

A: The Sony UTX-P40 Wireless Plug-On Transmitter included with the Sony UWP-D26 Camera-Mount Wireless Combo Microphone System can be used with just about any XLR microphone, whether it is a dynamic or condenser style mic, and regardless of the brand.

Q: 2. After connecting this to the Sony A7S III and selecting 24-bit two channel mode in camera I recorded several clips. However, after importing the clips into FCPX on my 2019 MacBook Pro, I realized that none of the clips had audio. Even in Sony’s own Catalyst Browse software, no audio can be played back, but in this instance white noise is all that is heard. Audio plays back fine in camera; Switch to 16-bit and audio can play back as normal in all software. So it seems 24-bit audio is not supported. Are there plans to address this? Btw... Sony makes no mention of 24-bit audio in the A7S III manual, even though the option appears in the cameras menu.

A: Based on the manual, this camera has the ability to record in 24 bit only if using accessories that support 24 bit audio through the Multi-Interface shoe. If connecting the receiver of this system to the camera via the 3.5mm jack, then the camera can only record in 16 bit audio. Please note that while there is an available MI Shoe adapter for the URX-P40 receiver in this wireless system, the A7SIII is not specified as supporting it for use.

Q: 3. This is being touted as a G4 replacement, but will they have methods of mounting the receiver in sound bags?

A: This is a pertinent question which, as of mid-April 2023, Sennheiser has yet to address. Ultimately, the ability of the EW-DP EK to integrate into setups other than a strictly camera-mount scenario may be a deciding factor of its utility and the extent of its adoption within the industry.

Q: 4. Can I use this plug on for a Rode NTG3 mic and a Sennheiser EK 100 G3 Wireless Receiver (G: 566-608)? Thank you.

A: You sure can.

Q: 5. Is this compatible with the EW-DX Series Transmitters?

A: Yes, the Sennheiser EW-DP EK Camera-Mount Digital Wireless Receiver is compatible for use with Sennheiser EW-DX Series Transmitters that operate within the same frequency band.

Q: 6. Can i use the handheld and the lav mic at the same time or do I have to buy another receiver?

A: You would need an additional receiver to use the handheld and bodypack receivers simultaneously.

Q: 7. will the URx P40 work with a UTX-P03 Transmitter?

A: Yes, the Sony URX-P40 Camera-Mount Wireless Receiver from the Sony UWP-D26 Camera-Mount Wireless Combo Microphone System is compatible for use with Sony UTX-P03 Plug-On Transmitters operating on the same frequency range.

Q: 8. Is there a way to use this on an a7siii with the xlr-k3m adapter?

A: The receiver in this Sony wireless system will connect to the Sony XLR-K3M audio adapter, using the included 3.5mm to XLR-male output cable. This would be an excellent wireless audio solution for the Sony a7SIII camera.

Q: 9. Is there a reason to select one of the frequencies over the others for use in the United States?

A: Yes. If you will be using the system in a specific city, you will want to choose a frequency band that avoids the strong TV and radio broadcast signal in that area in order to have more options for clear frequencies to use for wireless transmission with the microphone. Please contact us by phone, through live chat on the web, or by email and we can help you to select the best option for your location.

Q: 10. Can I use the handheld & lav mic at the same time or do i have to buy another receiver?

A: This combo set allows for either a handheld or a bodypack transmitter to be used one at a time. You would need a second receiver, for both to operate simultaneously, which is the Sennheiser EW-D EM Digital Wireless Receiver (R1-6: 520 to 576 MHz), BH #SEEWDEMR16.
