The Miniature Lavalier Microphone
An omnidirectional miniature lav mic, the WL93 provides full clear sound for broadcast presenting and speeches. Gain can be adjusted directly from a recessed dial on the bodypack transmitter, and this dial can even be set in place with lockable interface to prevent accidental setting changes. As with the receiver, the transmitter has LED indicators to display power, mute, and battery charge statuses. Batteries included with the transmitter allow for up to 10 hours of continuous use.
The QLXD1 Bodypack Transmitter
Transparent 24-bit digital audio quality and incredibly efficient RF spectrum usage make the QLXD1 bodypack transmitter ideal for wireless vocals and instruments in presentation spaces, music venues, houses of worship, and more. With over 120 dB of dynamic range, you won’t need to adjust any transmitter gain. This bodypack also comes with AES 256-bit encryption, giving you confidence that every transmission is secure.
Boasting an easy-to-read backlit display, this bodypack is designed for intuitive, efficient use. Use selectable display mode to personalize what settings are shown, choose the desired group/channel, frequency, or battery runtime (when using the optional Shure SB900B battery, sold separately). The QLXD1 quickly syncs with a wireless receiver over IR at the push of a button and maintains a clear, uninterrupted signal over its entire 100 m (330 ft.) range, with no transmitter gain adjustments needed.
