- Product Code: ga34999
-
The Shure QLXD24/B87A rackmount digital wireless handheld microphone system provides performers, presenters, and broadcasters with professional-quality audio, reliable RF performance, and secure AES 256-bit encryption. Rugged and easy-to-use, it is ideal for sound-reinforcement applications in medium-sized venues and houses of worship as well as A/V installations in conference, educational, and corporate facilities.
The system operates in the UHF band to transmit pristine 24-bit/48 kHz digital audio with clarity, accurate low end, and crisp transient response. It utilizes Digital Predictive Switching Diversity to protect the transmission from interference and deliver solid RF signal stability without audio artifacts. You can run up to 60 mic channels at the same location.
The QLXD24/B87A includes the QLXD2 handheld transmitter featuring an interchangeable capsule design and equipped with a Beta 87A condenser capsule. The supercardioid pickup pattern focuses on the voice, helping to reduce feedback on loud stages. The lightweight transmitter provides up to 9 hours of operation on two AA batteries, with selectable 1/10mW RF power and a transmission range up to 330'.
The receiver features audio and RF meters, 60 dB of gain control, and both mic/line XLR and 1/4" instrument outputs. A large LCD screen and intuitive controls let you quickly make adjustments, even in low-light situations. Additional features include automatic frequency scanning, IR sync, and internal limiting to prevent clipping.
The Ethernet port allows multiple receivers to be easily networked together for simplified frequency coordination and deployment via Shure's Wireless Workbench (WWB) software.

A: Yes, the Shure RPW120 Beta 87A Supercardioid Condenser Capsule for Handheld Transmitter is compatible for use with the Shure SLXD2 Digital Wireless Handheld Microphone Transmitter included with the Shure SLXD24 Digital Wireless Microphone System.
Q: 5. This is one mic per receiver right? The receiver can't have 2 mics simultaneously, correct?
A: The receiver in this QLXD system can only receive 1 transmitter at a time. For a dual channel receiver system of similar quality, you'd want this ULXD2D receiver, BH #SHULXD4DH50 with two separately purchased transmitters BH #SHLXD2B58H50.
Q: 6. Can you only run (1) microphone through this item?
A: Yes only one wireless ULX-D Wireless System transmitter may be paired with this receiver.
Q: 7. I was told by another dealer that i cannot use a ULXD2 transmitter with a QLXD4 receiver, does anyone know if this is really true. cause under compatible TX's it says you can?
A: Yes, but both devices must have the same operating frequency band, such as G50. Group and Channel settings within the frequency band are the same for ULX-D and QLX-D. The Group and Channel number for each device have to be set manually, as the InfraRed sync will not work.
Q: 8. is it ok to use with GLX-D? I have GLX-D/SM58
A: Yes it is compatible. Screws right on.
Q: 9. Does the Lavalier on this Shure QLXD14/84 (X52: 902 to 928 MHz) come with a windscreen?
