Description
SHURE ULXD2/KSM8 refers to a wireless handheld microphone transmitter configuration from Shure.
Specifically:
ULXD2: The handheld digital wireless transmitter.
KSM8: The attached KSM8 Dual dyne cardioid dynamic microphone capsule, designed for professional live vocals and presentations.
Key features include:
24-bit digital wireless audio for high-quality sound.
KSM8 Dual dyne capsule with excellent control of proximity effect and off-axis rejection.
AES-256 encryption for secure wireless transmission.
Interchangeable Shure microphone capsules.
Compatible with ULX-D wireless receivers (such as the ULXD4); it is not a complete wireless system by itself.
Here is a breakdown of what makes this configuration notable:
The Microphone Capsule: KSM8 Dual dyne
Dual-Diaphragm Design: The KSM8 features two ultra-thin diaphragms. This virtually eliminates the proximity effect (the muddy, excessive bass buildup that happens when a singer gets right up against the mic).
Sweet Spot: Because of the dual-diaphragm engineering, it has a massive sweet spot, providing consistent sound quality regardless of the performer’s mic technique.
Cardioid Polar Pattern: It offers clean off-axis rejection, meaning it won’t easily pick up bleed from surrounding instruments or stage monitors, heavily reducing feedback loops.
The Transmitter: ULXD2
24-Bit Digital Audio: Delivers pristine, transparent audio quality that accurately captures the nuances of the KSM8 capsule.
AES-256 Encryption: Provides secure transmission for high-profile corporate events, government facilities, or secure broadcasts.
Power Options: It can run on standard AA batteries or Shure’s SB900 rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack, which gives you precise runtime metering in hours and minutes.
