The Shure SLXD2/K8B is a digital wireless handheld microphone system combining the reliable SLXD2 transmitter platform with the innovative KSM8 Dualdyne dynamic capsule. This system is engineered for professional vocalists who demand a warm, natural vocal tone combined with superior feedback rejection and consistent performance. The SLXD2 transmitter features a durable metal body, a clear backlit LCD for monitoring battery life and settings, and utilizes a 24-bit digital UHF wireless transmission to deliver the KSM8's audio with exceptional clarity, wide dynamic range, and minimal latency. This digital transmission ensures interference-free, crystal-clear audio that faithfully preserves the unique sonic characteristics of the KSM8 capsule.

The defining component is the KSM8 capsule, which utilizes a proprietary Dualdyne design featuring two dynamic diaphragms working in concert. This technology delivers the rich, natural sound of a classic dynamic microphone while offering a supercardioid polar pattern that remains remarkably consistent, even when a vocalist sings off-axis. It significantly reduces proximity effect, allowing performers to work very close to the microphone without excessive bass buildup, and its internal design minimizes plosive pops without the need for an external foam windscreen. The combination of this advanced capsule with the robust SLXD digital wireless creates a handheld system that excels in challenging live environments, providing exceptional gain-before-feedback and a consistent, detailed vocal sound that cuts through a dense mix.

This system is designed for the working vocalist who requires a reliable, high-performance wireless tool night after night. It offers the road-ready toughness and intuitive operation of the SLXD platform paired with the acoustic innovation of the KSM8, making it a standout choice for lead vocalists in touring bands, worship leaders, and theatrical performers. The system is completed by pairing it with an SLXD4 series receiver for true diversity operation and system monitoring.
