Shure IncorporatedULXD6 ULXD8 Boundary and Gooseneck Base Transmitters

General Description

ULX-D series boundary and gooseneck base transmitters add new designs to Shure's breakthrough ULX-D wireless line. Boundary and gooseneck base transmitters offer cable-free flexibility for corporate conference rooms, government facilities, educational institutions, A/V conferencing, and live sound

reinforcement. Use Shure Wireless Workbench®software and networked

charging stations to simplify transmitter configuration and monitor charging status.

Both transmitters run on rechargeable or AA batteries and can be monitored using external control systems, such as AMX or Crestron. ULX-D systems also offer audio signal encryption, high-density mode, and Dante™ digital networking for multi-channel audio over Ethernet.

Connecting Gooseneck Microphone to ULXD8 Base

ULXD8 base transmitters fit 5", 10", and 15" Microflex series gooseneck microphones, available in single and dualflex models.

Connect microphone to base as shown.

Boundary Microphone Placement

The boundary transmitter sits on a table or desk to transmit speech while discreetly blending into any conference environment. Cardioid and omnidirectional versions are available.

For best low-frequency response and rejection of background noise, place the microphone on a large, flat surface, such as a floor, table, or lectern.

To reduce reverberance, avoid reflective surfaces above or to the side of the microphone, such as beveled sides of pulpits or overhanging shelves.

Batteries

Boundary and gooseneck base transmitters can be powered by Shure SB900 batteries or two AA batteries (included).

The receiver front panel displays battery charge level in hours/minutes for Shure batteries and in bars for AA batteries. For accurate monitoring, set
