Shure QLXD2/SM86 — Handheld Wireless Transmitter with SM86 Capsule
QLXD2/SM86 Overview
The Shure QLXD2/SM86 is a professional handheld wireless transmitter built on the QLXD platform, delivering 24-bit digital audio quality with efficient RF spectrum usage across the V50 band (174-216 MHz). The transmitter pairs with an interchangeable SM86 condenser microphone capsule, providing a transparent sound signature well-suited to lead vocals and spoken word applications. IR sync with a compatible QLXD receiver enables fast, reliable frequency coordination at the push of a button, maintaining clear signal over a range of up to 100 meters (330 ft.). This system is engineered for audio engineers, system integrators, and technical directors working in presentation spaces, music venues, and houses of worship.
All-metal construction provides the durability required for demanding live and installed environments, and the QLXD2’s interchangeable capsule design allows operators to swap microphone heads to match the application without replacing the transmitter body.
