INSTALLATION

ULD series boundary and gooseneck microphones and networked charging stations add new designs to Shure’s breakthrough ULX-D wireless line. Boundary and gooseneck transmitters offer cable-free flexibility for corporate conference rooms, government facilities, and educational institutions. Use Shure Wireless Workbench® and networked charging stations to simplify transmitter configuration and monitor charging status. Simply change settings in Wireless Workbench for all transmitters docked on a charger, instead of syncing each transmitter individually. Both microphones run on rechargeable or AA batteries and can be controlled through external control systems, such as AMX or Crestron. As part of Shure’s groundbreaking ULXD line, both gooseneck and boundary microphones include audio signal encryption, high-density mode, and the reliability of ULX-D systems. Boundary microphones offer cardioid and omnidirectional cartridges, and the gooseneck base fits Microflex series gooseneck microphones.
