Shure SLXD2/K8B Digital Wireless Handheld Microphone Transmitter with KSM8 Capsule (G58: 470 to 514 MHz)

Shure SLXD2/K8B Digital Handheld Wireless Microphone Transmitter

Superior Sound with KSM8 Dual-Diaphragm Dynamic Capsule

The Shure SLXD2/K8B is a digital handheld wireless microphone transmitter designed for seamless compatibility with SLX-D receivers. It features the advanced KSM8 dual-diaphragm dynamic capsule, engineered to minimize proximity effect. This ensures a consistent sound quality regardless of the varying distance between the microphone and the sound source. The cardioid polar pattern effectively reduces feedback, making it an ideal choice for delivering clear and richly detailed audio for both speech and vocals in live performance settings.

Wide Tuning Range and Flexible RF Power

Operating within a 44 MHz UHF tuning range, the SLXD2/K8B offers access to 1760 frequencies. The transmitter provides selectable RF power output of 1mW or 10mW, allowing you to optimize for either extended transmission range—up to 330 feet—or to increase the number of microphones operating simultaneously in a given environment.

Robust, Long-Lasting Power Options

The SLXD2/K8B ensures up to 8 hours of continuous operation using two AA batteries. For a more sustainable option, the transmitter is compatible with the SB903 rechargeable battery pack (sold separately), which offers the advantage of precision power metering displayed in hours and minutes on the transmitter's LCD screen.

Crystal-Clear Digital Audio and Reliable Performance

Delivering crystal-clear 24-bit digital audio, the SLXD2/K8B boasts reliable RF performance within a lightweight, durable aluminum housing. This makes it an excellent choice for small to medium-sized venues, houses of worship, and A/V installations in corporate, educational, and conference facilities.

Interchangeable Capsule Design

The SLXD2/K8B features an interchangeable capsule design, allowing you to replace the KSM8 capsule with other Shure capsules to suit your application needs. Compatible options include the SM58, Beta 87A, and Beta 58A capsules, providing flexibility and customization for different vocal styles and performance requirements. The KSM8's hardened, dent-resistant grille, lined with hydrophobic woven fabric, effectively rejects moisture and plosives.

User-Friendly Features in a Rugged Package

Syncing the transmitter with a wireless receiver is quick and effortless via infrared at the touch of a button. The easy-to-read LCD screen displays crucial information, while the selectable 1/10mW RF output power option allows for enhanced range or increased simultaneous mic operation.

Convenient Charging and Power Management

For those opting for rechargeable power, the SB903 lithium-ion battery offers zero memory effect and precise power management. The SBC203 dual-battery charging station charges two SB903 batteries simultaneously and fits the external contacts on the transmitter, eliminating the need to remove the batteries for charging.

The Shure SLXD2/K8B handheld transmitter is an exceptional choice for those seeking high-quality digital audio, robust performance, and user-friendly operation in a durable, versatile package.
