The Shure SLXD24/B87A is a digital wireless handheld microphone system configured with the Beta 87A supercardioid condenser capsule, designed for vocalists who require detailed, present sound with exceptional gain-before-feedback. This system pairs the robust SLXD2 handheld transmitter with the Beta 87A, a condenser microphone known for its smooth high-end response and tight polar pattern. The system operates on the UHF band with 24-bit digital transmission, providing clear, interference-free audio with a wide dynamic range that captures the full nuance and power of a vocal performance. The SLXD2 transmitter features a durable metal body, intuitive controls, and a backlit LCD for monitoring battery and RF status.

The Beta 87A capsule offers a supercardioid polar pattern that provides excellent rejection of sound from the sides and rear, isolating the vocalist from stage monitors and ambient noise to maximize gain-before-feedback. Its condenser transducer delivers extended frequency response and faster transient detail compared to dynamic microphones, resulting in a crisp, articulate vocal sound with enhanced presence. The capsule includes an effective internal pop filter and shock mount to minimize plosives and handling noise. This combination makes the SLXD24/B87A a preferred choice for lead vocalists in live sound applications where clarity, detail, and feedback control are paramount, particularly in genres like pop, rock, and musical theater.

By integrating a premium condenser capsule with reliable digital wireless, this system provides a significant upgrade in vocal quality and performance for serious vocalists. It delivers the sonic benefits of a studio-style condenser microphone with the freedom and stability of a professional wireless system, making it a powerful tool for enhancing live vocal reproduction.
