The Shure SLXD24/K8B offers presenters and performers a handheld wireless microphone system that's dependable, easy to set up, and features crystal-clear, digital sound quality. Built around a rugged, single-channel, half-rack receiver with removable antennas, the system is ideally suited for portable rigs and long-term installations in small- to medium-sized venues, event spaces, conference rooms, houses of worship, and education facilities.

The SLX-D operates in the UHF band to transmit high-quality, 24-bit digital audio with over 120 dB of dynamic range for crisp, detailed sound. It utilizes Digital Predictive Switching Diversity to protect the transmission from interference and deliver a solid, reliable RF signal without dropouts.

This configuration includes the SLXD2 handheld transmitter featuring an interchangeable microphone capsule design and equipped with a KSM8 dual-diaphragm dynamic capsule. The KSM8 minimizes proximity effect, delivering a consistent sound even when the distance between the mic and the sound source varies. The cardioid polar pattern provides a clean, richly detailed signal with reduced feedback, great for speech and vocals in live venues.

The lightweight metal transmitter features a selectable 1/10mW RF power output and a transmission range up to 330'. It provides up to 8 hours of operation on two AA batteries or an SB903 rechargeable battery (available separately).

The all-metal, rackmount SLXD4 receiver features an intuitive LCD interface with meters for RF, battery status, and audio output. It also offers 60 dB of gain control, and both mic/line XLR and 1/4" instrument outputs. Additional features include automatic frequency scanning and IR sync to easily link the transmitter and receiver to the same frequency.

With up to 32 mic channels available at the same time, the SLX-D is ready to expand as your needs grow. What’s more, setting up multiple systems is made fast and easy via the Ethernet port, which links the them together for quick, coordinated frequency scans from a single receiver.

• The SLX-D is engineered to provide outstanding sound for small- to medium-sized spaces and facilities—without costly, complicated features required primarily for large venues.
• Intuitive front-panel controls and a high-contrast LCD screen with audio and RF meters makes set up a snap.
• The auto-scan function automatically seeks out the cleanest available frequency for you. The receiver and transmitter then easily link to the same frequency via infrared.
• The receiver offers up to 60 dB of adjustable gain and the display shows you where the ideal level should be.

• Adding the SB903 lithium-ion rechargeable battery, along with an SBC10-903 single charger or an SBC203 dual-docking charger, offers a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to throwing away AA batteries (battery and chargers available separately).
• Using the SB903 battery and SBC203 charger simplifies the task of keeping multiple transmitters charged and ready—you can even recharge the battery while still in the transmitter.
• When powered by an SB903, the transmitter displays the remaining battery life in hours and minutes.

• Adding UA874 active antennas or PA805SWB passive antennas increases the range of your system and offers increased protection against interference.
• The UA844+SWB antenna distribution system (available separately) lets you stretch the power of your antenna pairs, giving you more on-air channels in less setup time.

Shure offers a bodypack transmitter with a variety of lavalier and headset microphones to adapt your system as your needs evolve.

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. is the body of mic plastic or metal ?

A: Shure uses a Metal body casing for all of its QLXD receivers and transmitters.

Q: 3. Will this receiver work with the ew 100 G3 Transmitter?

A: The ew 100 -835 G4 is a complete wireless system that includes the EM 100 G4 receiver and an SKM 100 G4 handheld transmitter. The G4 series is backwards compatible for use with older G3 series components, as long as the frequency bands are the same for both components. The EM 100 G4 receiver can also be used with a bodypack transmitter such as the SK 100 G4 and G3 models to connect a lavalier or headset microphone. Only one transmitter can be used at a time with the receiver and the operating frequencies must match. Please contact us if you would like assistance.

Q: 4. Can i add additional 3 mic to the receiver?

Q: 5. can i use it in europe , voltage problems maybe?

A: Power requirements aside (other responses given here are correct), available & legal transmission frequencies will vary greatly from country to country. I would recommend contacting Shure's Wireless Application division (1-800-516-2525, ext 4) to ensure your system will function well and operate legally where you need to use it.

Q: 6. What is the maximum length for the cable connecting the receiver and the amplifier? I want to mount the receiver in a place without obstacles between the mic & receiver. Thanks!

A: You can use any audio cable (1/4 or XLR) of most any commonly available length to connect the receiver to your mixer/amplifier, and can also easily extend the reach of the provided power supply with an extension cord. That said, I would caution sending analog output along a cable run that is over 300ft long as the audio quality of a mic-level output will start to degrade; however, 300 feet should still provide plenty of flexibility for receiver placement to achieve a clear line-of-sight.
