General
The SM86 is a condenser microphone with durable qualities, great for on the road! Condenser microphones are more vulnerable than dynamic microphones and are therefore not usually used on stage. The SM86 is definitely a stage microphone! TThe SM86 has a solid, hi-tech metal housing with a three-point shockmount system that further protects the components. Mounted on an ULX2 transmitter, you can send the sound to the receiver at a range of up to 100 metres, so that you can enjoy the sounds of the SM86 with the advantages of wireless systems!
Shure's ULX series distinguishes itself in a few ways. Different settings can be locked, for instance, but there is more! Before your sound can be wirelessly transferred, the signal first needs to be compressed. Compressing the signal can lead to damage, however, as it also needs to be decompressed at the receiving end. Luckily, the ULX series has a more efficient way of compressing and decompressing the signal and therefore there is less signal loss. This results in a higher sound quality! With the SLX series, you can use 12 systems simultaneously, but with the ULX series there is no limit! This makes the ULX a great player that is used enthusiastically by sound technicians for live applications as well as for fixed installations!
