Shure Wireless Mics
I hope someone on here can help with some questions on Shure Wireless mics.
I have been looking at the ULXP with the beta 87. The model above the ULX is the UHF Premier which seems to be the professional choice. This seems to be twice the price of the ULX. Can anyone educate me as to why there is such a big difference and is it worth it. I am looking at these for my church, so is the ULX good enough? Also, can anyone recomend a suppplier in the UK (based on price and expertise). Thanks |

So, ULX is not compatible to any other Shure RF products. The ULX line is not a compromise from the UHF Premier line (called UHF by Shure) Since all of the other Shure wireless can interchange transmitters and receivers, as long as they share frequencies, one can assume that there is a predicable similarity in sound quality. The Premier UHF line recievers (U4) offer best RF sensativity and selectivity, can operate into 600 ohn at line level, and are rack mountable. As you step down from the U4 receivers, you find fewer capabilities, but sinbce they can use the same tranmitters, the osund will be similar. ULX is a completely new approach to wireless for Shure. Improved with the ULX: 1. Singal to noice: about 10DB quieter. 2. High Frequncy response: vertual immuity to hi freq smear (smearry S's) 3. Higher RF power output 30 milliwatts-vs 10 milliwatts ( still not a lot of pwoer but better that the UHF series) 4. freqency adgile over 6 TV channels ( UHF is over 4 channels) additional frequency groups beyond the three offered with the UHF line. 5. Receivers have a "scan" funtion for locating open frequencies. 6. Hand mics have internal antennas, eliminating the tendency for the UHF hand mics with the external antennas to drop out when held around the antenna. 7. Hand mics use 9 volt batteries, seem to run longer between battery changes. The only featured missing on the ULXP receiver is a head phone jack. U4 receievrs can be puirchased in pairs with common antenna inputs, if 2 ULXP receivers are used with an antennas coupler, each receiver with require it own antenna feeds. Other than that, ther ULX systems will sound cleaner, quieter and more reliable under less than ideal receiving conditions. I have used both and when I needed to buy 12 systems for a show I am doing bought the ULXP systems over the UHFs. |
