The Shure ULXD2/B87A is a digital handheld wireless microphone transmitter compatible with ULX-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.

With a rugged, yet lightweight aluminum housing, the ULXD2/B87A transmitter delivers pristine audio quality and RF performance, AES 256-bit encryption for secure transmission, and advanced rechargeability options for professional sound reinforcement applications.

Q: 7. What is the RAW file transfer speed?

A: When connected to an existing 802.11ac network, it averaged ~10MB/s; when configured in access point mode in the field where there is no existing Wi-Fi network, it averaged 7-8MB/s when manually configured to run on one of the channels on the 5GHz band (forcing 802.11ac with 80MHz channel width) and drops down to 2-3MB/s if left configured automatically (so it chooses the lowest common denominator, 802.11b/g/n with a 20MHz channel width). When in the field, I have Wi-Fi hotspot enabled on my Android phone and an FTP server app running on it, then WFT-E8A connects to it and automatically sends images to the phone as soon as they have been written to the memory cards. I choose to transfer JPEG only and leave RAW in camera. If I find a JPEG needs adjustments I can always bring up the RAW on the camera's LCD and press the Set button to manually send it to the phone.
