Shure ULXD2/N8SB-G57

The Shure ULXD2/N8SB-G57 is a digital handheld transmitter designed for ULX-D systems, featuring the Nexadyne 8/S supercardioid dynamic capsule with Revonic dual-transducer technology. This innovative design delivers condenser-like clarity, tight directionality, and high gain before feedback-ideal for vocalists in live sound environments.

It operates in the G57 band (470"608 MHz) and offers an ultrawide 138 MHz tuning range, 24-bit/48 kHz digital audio, and AES-256 encryption. The interchangeable capsule design supports compatibility with other Shure microphone heads.

Additional features include a rugged aluminum housing, backlit LCD, IR sync, 1/10/20 mW selectable RF output, and automatic gain adjustment. The transmitter runs up to 11 hours on AA batteries or 8.5 hours using the optional SB900B rechargeable battery, with support for intelligent docked and networked charging.
