The Shure QLXD2/KSM9 is a digital handheld wireless microphone transmitter compatible with QLX-D receivers. It comes equipped with a dual-diaphragm KSM9 condenser capsule that captures sonic nuances with superior detail, delivering precise vocal reproduction for high-end live performance. The KSM9 capsule offers two switchable polar patterns to provide FOH engineers with more choices in dealing with varying environments or the microphone techniques of different performers. The cardioid pattern offers solid gain before feedback, with minimal off-axis coloration, for a warm, full sound. The supercardioid pattern offers increased sound isolation and gain before feedback, an ideal choice for applications where there are high levels of ambient noise, or where multiple instruments or vocalists are close together.

The QLXD2/KSM9 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/KSM9 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: 1. Is this compatible with Shure UA874 antennas?

A: The Shure SLXD24/B58 Digital Wireless Handheld Microphone System with Beta 58A Capsule (G58: 470 to 514 MHz), BH # SHSLXD24BG, is fully compatible with the Shure UA874 Active Directional Antenna (B&H # SHUA874US).

Q: 2. 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: 3. This mics system works with the Pyle Pro Mini Blue Series Stereo 240W Power Amplifier?

A: These mics will work with this system only.

Q: 4. What are the dimensions of the receiver?

A: It's not tiny... I have one at home that I use with a DDJ WEGO2 and its around 7 x 4 x 1.5 inches.

Q: 5. How does it takes its power ? And can I use it with Panasonic camera model AG-HPX500P ?

A: The antenna is made by Shure and will only work with Shure products. The Shure systems it will work with are the SLX, ULX, UC, UHF, and UHF-R wireless systems.

Q: 6. Does this unit require an antenna management system?

A: No, in fact if you notice each of the antennas has an output just below the inputs. This unit basically behaves like an antenna distribution system.

Q: 7. What kind of cable is used to connect the output to recorder ?

A: 1/4 male strait cable

Q: 8. how many handheld mics can the 2CH version support?

A: Wireless receivers can accommodate one transmitter per channel; the two channel receiver can connect to two, and the four channel version can connect to four.

Q: 9. Will this work for ULX-D systems?

A: The Shure UA860SWB is compatible with all UHF wireless microphone and In Ear Monitor systems with detachable antennas that operate within the range of 470-1100 MHz. In the case of ULX-D (and QLX-D) series systems, it can be used with all current bands except for the new V50 band (174.125 215.825 MHz) that operates in VHF, which is outside the range of frequencies received by this antenna.

Q: 10. 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.
