Shure GLXD24+/B87A Beta 87A Digital Wireless Microphone System

The Shure GLXD24+/B87A is a wireless handheld system that's perfect for vocals and live sound in a range of contexts. Well-suited to small-to-medium-sized music venues, houses of worship, and conference halls, this system offers accurate and authoritative vocals with the convenience of a wireless setup. Operating with brand-new dual-band wireless technology, the GLX-D+ will scan for the cleanest possible channels within its 2.4 GHz band as well as its 5.8 GHz band, for stable and interference-free performances always.

The GLX-D+ system also provides automatic pairing between transmitters and receivers, making it incredibly convenient for travelling performers, or events with rapid turnarounds - simply plug in and perform! A redesigned rechargeable lithium-ion battery offers up to 12 hours of continuous use from a single charge, and a quick charge feature that gives 1.5 hours of use from a 15-minute charge. Included in this system is a handheld transmitter with a wireless Beta 87A capsule, giving you the sound of Shure's definitive live vocal condenser.

All-new dual-band technology

A new development for this revised system, the GLX-D+ family operates in both 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz wireless frequency ranges. Both digital and license-free in most countries worldwide (please refer to the included map for exceptions), this new design more than doubles the available bandwidth this system has to find a clean, clear channel for the best sound quality and stability feasible. This system will automatically scan to find a suitable channel when turned on, without you needing to press a button. Not only that, but the system will select backup frequencies to jump to if interference does unexpectedly appear, keeping your show running smoothly, clearly, and without dropouts.

Extended battery life

Shure has taken lengths to redesign the GLX-D+ lithium-ion battery pack to extend its use. Now offering up to 12 hours of continuous use at the 5.8 GHz band, and 17 hours in the 2.4 GHz band, this system can last throughout long events.

Beta 87A included

Perfect for delicate voices that need a sparkling high-end to support them, the Beta 87A delivers the depth and body of a condenser microphone with the present mids that have defined Shure's sound. Used by stellar vocalists like Thom Yorke and Elton John, this live condenser has gone completely wireless.
