The cardioid polar pattern isolates the main sound source while minimizing unwanted background noise.

Features
Providing enhanced mobility and flexibility—yet in a rugged construction for confident long-term use no matter what the application—the ULXD2 is a handheld wireless transmitter that is compatible with Shure’s ULX-D Digital Wireless Systems.
The ULXD2 proprietary Gain Ranging optimizes the system’s dynamic range for any input source, so you no longer need to adjust the transmitter. Use Transmitter Mute Mode to reassign controls to the On/Off switch, changing it into a Mute Switch so you can turn off audio without sacrificing RF channel presence. It also features frequency and power lockout, a backlit display for efficient navigation and settings control, and much more. In addition, the ULXD2 comes with integrated AES 256-bit encryption, ensuring secure transmission.
This handheld transmitter features a durable, all-metal build, as well as external charging contacts for docked charging (with the SBC200 Dual Docking Charger, sold separately).

Designed for professional use in live performance, the SM86 mic capsule is great for singing and speaking applications, consistently delivering a clear, studio-quality sound. It offers an extended high-frequency response that has been specifically tailored for the clear reproduction of your vocals.

The result is a clear, faithful reproduction of your vocals, so your audience can enjoy your sound without any distractions.
