The Shure GLXD2+ is a digital handheld wireless microphone transmitter compatible with GLX-D+ receivers. This version comes equipped with a fixed BETA 87A supercardioid condenser mic capsule for vocal performers and presenters. The durable metal transmitter features an On/Off switch that can be locked out at the receiver to prevent accidents.

For GLX-D+ Receivers    BETA 87A Supercardioid Condenser Capsule    Transmits on 2.4 and 5.8 GHz Frequencies    10mW RF Output Power    On/Off Switch    Compatible with 12-Hr Rechargeable SB904    USB Recharging with Battery Inside

The BETA 87A features a condenser capsule engineered with a wide 50 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response and a controlled proximity effect to deliver crisp and detailed vocals for performances and presentations. The mic has been designed to resist handling noise, while the narrow supercardioid pickup pattern allows it to consistently reject sound at its off-axis points and deliver high immunity to feedback—great for use on stage when sound reinforcement equipment is deployed. A hardened steel grille resists wear and abuse.

• GLX-D+ Dual-Band Digital Wireless systems operate in both the 2.4 and 5.8 GHz frequency ranges, automatically scanning both to select the one that offers the higher number of clean channels.
• The system offers true digital diversity, which means two antennas and two independent receiver modules work together to reduce RF signal dropouts.
• In addition, the GLX-D+ transmits on its own main frequency just like a traditional system, but it also transmits on 2 extra "backup frequencies" at the same time. If the system detects interference on the main frequency, it will switch to one of the backups automatically without the user even knowing.

• The GLXD2+ handheld transmitter runs on an intelligent SB904 rechargeable lithium-ion battery (included).
• The battery provides up to 12 hours of continuous use on a full charge.
• The SB904 battery can be recharged in the GLXDR4+ receiver's charging bay (located on the front panel). The charging bay can also be used to recharge a spare battery while the transmitter is in use.
• Alternately, the SB904 can be recharged while in the handheld transmitter with a USB charging cable.
• Just a 15-minute quick charge provides 1.5 hours of use.
• The SB904's remaining battery life is displayed in hours and minutes from the receiver's front panel.

Q: 5. I HAD THE BLX2 88 OLD MODEL WITH ANTENNAS,AND 2 SM58A MIC,I LIKE TO ADD ON BLX288/58, ARE THEY CAN BE WORK TOGETHER? THANKS, RICK.

A: Yes, you can use the Shure BLX288/B58 Dual-Channel Wireless Handheld Microphone System with Beta 58A Capsules and your older Shure BLX series wireless microphone system at the same time. It doesn't matter whether the two systems operate on different frequency bands or if they both are on the same band. Since the BLX series system has 123 individual frequencies within the band, up to 12 BLX series systems that operate on the same band can be used at the same time within a 300 foot range without any problems.

Q: 6. I have old 819 floor mic that has very low sensitivity. Desire to use the new preamp but need this cable to connect it to the floor mic 3 pins. Is the new preamp compatible with the old mic?

Q: 9. Will this system work within a studio setting? Will the signal travel through a block wall?

The signal will not transmit through cinder block walls.
