The Shure QLXD2/SM86 is a digital handheld wireless microphone transmitter compatible with QLX-D receivers. It comes equipped with an SM86 cardioid condenser capsule that features a frequency response tailored for clear vocal reproduction. The cardioid polar pattern helps to isolate the main sound source while minimizing unwanted background noise.

The QLXD2/SM86 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/SM86 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.

Q: 4. 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: 5. We have 2 BLX4/SM52 systems, with the frequency range of 584-608. We need a replacement mic. I see that the receiver range is now divided between 2 mic bands, H11:572-596 and J11:596-616. Does it matter which band mic I get?

A: As long as both the Shure BLX4 Wireless Receiver and the Shure BLX2/SM58 Handheld Wireless Microphone Transmitter with SM58 Capsule are tuned to the same frequency, the transmitter and receiver will be able to communicate together. So for a BLX4 Receiver with a frequency band of 584 to 608 MHz, you can use a BLX2/SM58 Transmitter that operates on the H11 band of 572 to 596 MHz or a BLX2/SM58 Transmitter that operates on the J11 band 596 to 616 MHz.
