About the Shure QLXD2/N8CB Handheld Transmitter with Nexadyne 8/C Cardioid Microphone

The Shure QLXD2/N8CB is a professional handheld wireless transmitter that integrates the advanced Nexadyne 8/C dynamic microphone capsule with the reliable QLX-D digital wireless platform. The Nexadyne 8/C capsule utilizes Shure's proprietary Nexadyne magnetic structure, delivering exceptional gain before feedback, superior off-axis rejection, and a tailored frequency response that provides clear, articulate vocals with a powerful presence. This system operates on a user-selectable UHF frequency band, offering robust digital transmission with 24-bit/48 kHz audio quality, low latency, and reliable performance in crowded RF environments. The transmitter is designed for touring vocalists, presenters, and installed applications where consistent, high-quality wireless audio is critical.

The QLXD2 body features an intuitive interface with a backlit LCD screen that displays critical information such as frequency, audio level, and remaining battery life. It is powered by two AA batteries, offering extended runtime, and supports Shure's Workbench software for remote frequency coordination and system monitoring. The integration of the Nexadyne capsule provides a significant performance advantage, particularly in high-volume stage settings, by minimizing feedback and reducing bleed from monitors and other instruments. The digital transmission includes 128-bit AES encryption as an option, ensuring secure audio for broadcast and confidential events.

This handheld system represents a balance of proven vocal microphone technology and modern wireless innovation. The Nexadyne 8/C capsule delivers the punch and clarity needed for vocals to cut through a dense mix, while the QLX-D wireless platform ensures a stable, interference-free link. It is an ideal solution for performers and audio engineers seeking a reliable, professional-grade wireless microphone that combines superior acoustic design with the operational benefits of a sophisticated digital wireless system.
