About the Shure SLXD14/85M Digital Wireless Cardioid Lavalier Microphone System
The Shure SLXD14/85M is a professional-grade digital wireless microphone system designed for demanding live sound and presentation environments. It operates in the reliable UHF spectrum and utilizes advanced digital signal processing to deliver crystal-clear, interference-free audio. The system's true diversity reception intelligently switches between two antennas to maintain a robust connection, minimizing dropouts even in crowded RF conditions. This combination of digital clarity and robust wireless performance makes it a trusted solution for touring musicians, theatrical productions, corporate presenters, and houses of worship where consistent, high-quality sound is non-negotiable.
At the heart of the system is the SLXD4 dual-channel receiver, which offers a clear backlit LCD screen for monitoring RF signal strength, audio level, and frequency coordination status. The included SLXD1 bodypack transmitter is notably compact and lightweight, constructed from a durable metal casing to withstand the rigors of daily use. It is powered by standard AA batteries, providing extended operational time, and features a locking Neutrik connector to securely attach the provided microphone capsule. The integrated digital architecture ensures a wide dynamic range and a very low noise floor, capturing every nuance of the performance with exceptional fidelity.
The system is supplied with the SM85 cardioid lavalier microphone capsule. This omnidirectional condenser microphone is engineered for superior speech intelligibility and minimal handling noise, making it ideal for discreet placement on a presenter's clothing. Its tailored frequency response gently enhances vocal presence while providing effective rejection of lower-frequency ambient sounds. The complete package offers a streamlined, easy-to-deploy wireless solution that prioritizes sonic integrity, operational reliability, and straightforward user control for critical vocal reinforcement applications.
