Part of the ULX-D wireless series, the Shure ULX-D Digital Handheld Microphone Kit SM58houses a single digital receiver in a rugged half-rack unit with an external power supply.

The ULX-D Series simplifies the set up and management of large numbers of wireless systems. It is ideal for professional sound reinforcement applications in large live venues and houses of worship, as well as A/V installations in conference, educational, and corporate facilities. Compatible with a wide selection of Shure transmitters and mic capsules, it delivers pristine 24-bit/48 kHz digital audio, capturing every detail with clarity, accurate low end, and crisp transient response.

The ULX-D operates in the UHF band, utilizing Digital Predictive Switching Diversity to protect the transmission from interference, delivering rock-solid RF signal stability without audio artifacts. In Standard mode you can run up to 17 channels per 6 MHz TV channel, at a range up to 330'. Alternatively, the High-Density mode lets you run up to 47 channels per 6 MHz TV channel, at a maximum range of 98'. The system offers AES-256 encryption for security.

The unit features audio and RF meters, 60 dB of gain control, and both XLR and 1/4" outputs. A large LCD screen and intuitive controls let you quickly make adjustments, even in low-light situations. Additional features include automatic frequency scanning, IR sync, gain optimization to match any input source, and internal limiting to prevent clipping.

The Ethernet port allows multiple receivers to be easily networked together for simplified frequency coordination and deployment via Shure's Wireless Workbench software. In addition, the Channels Mobile App enables you to control the system remotely from an iOS device.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is this just plug and play what else I need to play my instruments do I have to connected to my computer and download software?

A: The Shure BLX24/SM58 Wireless Handheld Microphone System is not an audio interface and cannot connect directly to a computer. To connect this or any other microphone/wireless system to your computer, you would need an audio interface such as BH #FOSCARSOLO3G. The BLX24/SM58 Wireless Handheld Microphone System also does not have any support for connecting instruments. It comes with a handheld transmitter, although beltpack transmitters with an instrument input are available separately.

Q: 2. This network port can connect this microphone in Dante protocol?

A: The Ethernet port on the Shure SLXD4D Dual-Channel Receiver can be connected to a network switch which can then be connected to a Dante network. However, the Shure ULXD4D Dual-Channel Digital Wireless Receiver and ULXD4Q Quad-Channel Digital Wireless Receiver both feature a Dante dual-port network interface for digital networking capability.

Q: 3. Will this work with SLX-D14 receivers?

A: Yes, the Shure SLXD2/SM58 Digital Wireless Handheld Microphone Transmitter with SM58 Capsule is compatible with the SLXD14 receiver.

Q: 4. Qual país fabricante

A: El pais de origen es China.

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.

Q: 6. What are the physical dimensions of the receiver?

A: The dimensions of the Shure SLXD4D Dual-Channel Digital Wireless Receiver included with the Shure SLXD24D/SM58 Dual-Channel Digital Wireless Handheld Microphone System are 15.5 x 1.7 x 6" (393 x 42 x 152 mm).

Q: 7. Is there a way to tell the battery status from the microphone itself?

A: Yes there is. The green (charged) LED indicator lamp will glow red when it is time to recharge.

Q: 8. 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: 9. Doe’s it come with a case?

A: Yes, a Padded Zipper Case is included in the box.

Q: 10. My receiver is a J50 unit. With the J50A be the correct transmitter?

A: Yes, you can use the QLXD2/B87A-J50A transmitter with your QLX-D-J50 or ULX-D-J50 receiver. The FCC recently changed regulations for the frequency band above 616 MHz. This range is no longer available for use by wireless microphones and is now designated for use with broadband. Due to these changes, Shure has discontinued the J50 band (572 to 636 MHz) and replaced it with the J50A band (572 to 608 + 614 to 616 MHz), which covers much of the same bandwidth as J50. Older QLX-D and ULX-D components that operate on the J50 band can be used with newer components operating on the J50A band.
