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 42 MHz VHF tuning range with 1680 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. Do this Shure ULXD4Q come with 4 handheld wireless mics?

A: No. This is just the receiver by itself. You would purchase the 4 handheld transmitters separately, such as B&H # SHULXD2S5G50.

Q: 2. is it ok to use with GLX-D? I have GLX-D/SM58

A: Yes it is compatible. Screws right on.

Q: 3. i have same receiver with 2 mics that comes with it already. if I buy a third mic, would it be able to work with same receiver?

A: The number of microphones that a specific Shure BLX receiver can communicate with at one time is limited by the number of audio channels on the receiver. Shure offers single and dual-channel receivers in their BLX line, but does not offer a model that will receive signal from three Shure BLX2/PG58 Handheld Wireless Microphone Transmitters with PG58 Capsule at one time.

Q: 4. Why is it not compatible with the BLX?

A: BLX wireless series features a fully integrated capsule in its handheld transmitters. This means that the microphone capsule is hardwired into the transmitter handle which does not allow it to be removed to change capsule types. BLX and GLX-D are the only Shure wireless series with handheld transmitters like this. All other current series allow you to switch out the capsule and are compatible with this product.

Q: 5. WillG1 transmitters work with G50 receivers?

A: Only G50 transmitters will work with G50 receivers.

Q: 6. what kind of cable is used to connect this to spekers?

A: This unit is not designed to directly run speakers, unless they are combined powered amplifier/speakers. Its line level output is designed to feed into a mixer and/or amplifier which in turn drives speakers. The output connection is a single 1/4 monaural jack.

Q: 7. Can I connect Sennheiser body packs to this receiver? If yes, are there any limitations or recommendations?

Q: 8. What kind of cable is used to connect the output to recorder ?

A: 1/4 male strait cable

Q: 9. 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.

Q: 10. 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.
