Shure ULXD2 Overview

The Shure ULXD2/SM86 is a digital handheld wireless microphone transmitter compatible with ULX-D receivers. It comes equipped with an SM86 cardioid condenser capsule that features a frequency response tailored to reproduce vocals with clarity. The cardioid polar pattern isolates the main sound source while minimizing unwanted background noise.

With a rugged, yet lightweight aluminum housing, the ULXD2/SM86 transmitter delivers pristine audio quality and RF performance, AES 256-bit encryption for secure transmission, and advanced rechargeability options for professional sound reinforcement applications.

Clear, Accurate Audio with Interchangeable Capsule
  • The unit delivers clear, reliable 24-bit/48 kHz digital audio over its entire 330' range, great for live performances and presentations in music venues, houses of worship, and conference spaces.
  • The SM86 capsule features a two-stage “pop” filter that reduces wind and breath noise.
  • The interchangeable capsule design allows you to replace the SM86 capsule with a Shure capsule that’s ideal for your application and simply screw it onto the transmitter—including SM58, KSM8, SM87A, Beta 58A, Beta 87C, KSM9 capsules, and more.
User-Friendly Features in a Rugged Housing
  • The unit quickly syncs with a wireless receiver via infrared at the touch of a button.
  • Shure Proprietary Gain Ranging automatically adjusts the mic input level, eliminating the need for transmitter gain adjustments.
  • The power button conveniently doubles as mute switch, while preserving RF lock.
  • Frequency and power lockout functions prevent accidental or unauthorized changes during events.
  • A backlit LCD with easy-to-navigate menu and controls lets you quickly access frequency, group, and channel settings, along with mute and lock status, RF output, and remaining battery life.
  • 1/10/20mW selectable RF output power allows you to increase either the transmitter's range or the number of mics operating simultaneously.
Convenient Power Management Options
  • Operates for up to 11 hours on two AA batteries.
  • Optional Shure SB900A lithium-ion rechargeable battery pack offers intelligent power management with over 12 hours of battery life, precision metering in hours and minutes, and zero memory effect.
