The Shure QLXD2/B87A is a digital handheld wireless microphone transmitter compatible with QLX-D receivers. It comes equipped with the Beta 87A supercardioid condenser capsule designed to withstand extreme sound pressure levels, while still delivering a remarkably smooth frequency response for vocal performers and presenters. The capsule features a supercardioid polar pattern that offers excellent rejection of off-axis background noise, helping to reduce feedback.
The QLXD2/B87A operates on a 64 MHz UHF tuning range with 2560 selectable frequencies available. It provides up to 9 hours of operation on two AA batteries, with a transmission range up to 330' and a selectable 1/10mW RF power output.
With a rugged, yet lightweight aluminum housing, the QLXD2/B87A transmitter delivers pristine audio quality and RF performance, as well as AES 256-bit encryption for secure transmission and advanced rechargeability options. It is well suited for sound reinforcement applications in medium-sized venues and houses of worship as well as A/V installations in conference, educational, and corporate facilities.

Related Questions and Answers
Q: 1. Does ulxd1 transmitter h50 work with ulxd4 h51 receiver?
A: Yes, the Shure ULXD1 Digital Wireless Bodypack Transmitter for the H50 frequency band (534 to 598 MHz) will work with the Shure QLXD4 Digital Wireless Receiver for the H51 frequency band (534 to 598 MHz) since the H50 and H51 frequency bands overlap and the Shure ULX-D and QLX-D components are compatible for use together.
Q: 2. I have receiver DDT4T I looking for Handheld Transmitter . Do you think this one work with my receiver?
A: I am sorry - B&H has no reference for a DDT4T transmitter. The ULXD2 Handheld Transmitter with SM58 Microphone Capsule (G50) is designed for compatibility with Shure's ULX-D wireless systems only.
Q: 3. My receiver is a J50 unit. With the J50A be the correct transmitter?
A: Yes, you can use the QLXD2/B87A-J50A transmitter with your QLX-D-J50 or ULX-D-J50 receiver. The FCC recently changed regulations for the frequency band above 616 MHz. This range is no longer available for use by wireless microphones and is now designated for use with broadband. Due to these changes, Shure has discontinued the J50 band (572 to 636 MHz) and replaced it with the J50A band (572 to 608 + 614 to 616 MHz), which covers much of the same bandwidth as J50. Older QLX-D and ULX-D components that operate on the J50 band can be used with newer components operating on the J50A band.
Q: 4. Will this transmitter work with the ULXP4 receiver?
A: No it is not. The Shure ULXD1 is a digital wireless bodypack transmitter compatible with ULX-D and QLX-D receivers only.
Q: 5. isn this compatable with qlx?
A: Yes, the Shure RPW120 Beta 87A Supercardioid Condenser Capsule for Handheld Transmitter is compatible for use with wireless handheld transmitters from Shure's QLX product line.
Q: 6. Can I use this on a current SM58 body?
A: The RPW120 is a replacement capsule for Shure wireless transmitters. Compatible with the SLX, QLX-D and ULX series wireless transmitters. Not compatible with Shure wired handheld mics.
Q: 7. What is Lemo3 and do I need it for a gutair to connect to the Ulxd... thx
A: The Shure ULXD1 Digital Wireless Bodypack Transmitter with LEMO3 has a LEMO 3-pin input connector. The same transmitter is also available with a TA4 connector. These are two different types of audio connections which you would use to connect audio sources to the transmitter.
Q: 8. Is the RPW 120 87A Capsule compatible with ULXD KSM 9 microphone?? And is it a good decision to make? Will there be a significant difference in sound? Pls help?
A: It is compatible and will offer an improvement in overall performance.
Q: 9. Is TA4M different from TA4F?
A: Yes. Both are 4-pin mini XLR connectors. TA4M is a male and TA4F is female. The connector on the Shure transmitter is male, so the cable with the microphone will have a female connector.
Q: 10. Does this have an on/off switch?. If not, how do you switch it off ?
A: Yes.
