With an interchangeable SM86 microphone cartridge, the SLX2/SM86 includes a timed backlit LCD display, frequency and power lockout, and Mute functionality.

For use with SLX Wireless Systems only.

Description

The SLX2 Wireless Handheld Transmitters includes timed backlit LCD display, frequency and power lockout, and "Mute" functionality. The transmitter design allows for interchangeable microphone cartridges. Options include the BETA 87A, BETA 87C, BETA 58A, SM86, and the legendary SM58.

The Shure SM86 is a unidirectional (cardioid) condenser vocal microphone for professional use in live performance. An extremely rugged microphone, the SM86 withstands the rigors of touring while delivering a clear, studio-quality sound.

A cardioid pickup pattern isolates the main sound source while minimizing unwanted background noise. The built-in three-point shock mount minimizes handling noise, and a two-stage pop filter reduces wind and breath "pop" noise.

For use with SLX Wireless Systems only.

Note: When purchasing separate wireless components, please match their frequency bands to ensure proper system operation.
