Shure QLXD2/SM87=-G50 Handheld Transmitter with SM87 Capsule

Experience pristine, professional vocal capture with the Shure QLXD2/SM87=-G50 handheld transmitter. Engineered for reliability and clarity, this wireless mic transmitter pairs seamlessly with Shure’s QLXD digital wireless receivers to deliver transparent 24-bit digital audio and exceptionally efficient RF spectrum usage. Built for performers, presenters, and worship teams alike, it provides the freedom of wireless mobility without compromising on sound quality. The combination of the SM87 capsule and the QLXD2 platform ensures your voice sits in the mix with natural warmth, tight low end, and clear intelligibility across venues ranging from intimate gatherings to large-scale stages.

  • Premium SM87 capsule for clear, natural vocal tone. The SM87 cardioid condenser capsule delivers a smooth top end, controlled proximity effect, and a robust, studio-grade vocal presence. When mounted on the QLXD2 handheld transmitter, it reproduces your voice with high headroom, low noise, and consistent response whether you’re at a podium, on a concert stage, or delivering a sermon in a sanctuary. The capsule’s design minimizes feedback and handles high SPLs gracefully, ensuring performers sound confident and heard in every corner of the room.
  • Transparent 24-bit digital audio with wide dynamic range. This handheld transmitter transmits at 24-bit Digital Audio, allowing your voice to retain subtle nuances—from breathiness to resonance—without adding coloration. The result is a clean, natural sound that translates beautifully through PAs, monitors, and recording systems. By preserving detail and reducing background noise, the QLXD2 helps vocal performances stay intelligible even when the mix is busy or when the room acoustics are challenging.
  • Efficient RF spectrum usage for reliable wireless performance. Built for modern, multi-channel environments, the QLXD2/SM87=-G50 is designed to maximize RF efficiency so you can operate in crowded venues with confidence. It coordinates with the corresponding QLXD receivers to minimize degradation from interference and maintain strong, stable connections across the performance space. This efficiency translates to fewer dropouts, cleaner audio, and more reliable presence on stage, in classrooms, or on the worship platform.
  • Simple, fast IR sync for rapid setup. The QLXD2 handheld transmitter features an intuitive IR (infrared) sync that communicates with the QLXD receiver at the push of a button. In live environments where time is critical, you can quickly align frequencies and channel assignments to reduce setup time and keep performers on schedule. This streamlined workflow is ideal for rotating teams, guest presenters, or Sunday services where rapid soundchecks make a big difference.
  • Rugged reliability with user-friendly operation. The handheld design combines a robust metal chassis with a protective shock-mount for the capsule, delivering dependable performance in demanding environments. The control layout is straightforward, focusing on essential functions so technicians and performers can operate confidently. Whether you’re in a rehearsal room, a house of worship, or a mid-sized venue, you’ll appreciate the steadiness and resilience of the QLXD2 platform during long events.
