This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
I will use this system until I upgrade to the incredible UHF series Microphone (with a beta 87A of course). I am xpecting this system to alst me for many many years. The warranty is very very good 2 years... and with the case I bought.. this is my baby. It is treated well. If you are a travelling performer (city to city) this is the system for you..... don't settle for less......... you may have different mic preference, but the system can't be beat. I am interested in buying a headset package to go with this system.

Sound
I own a wired Beta 87A and absolutely love the sound. In purchasing this model, I actually have the ULX/P series, I was ecstatic that the sound was what I had come use to. I have a high, butheavy voice and this mic can handle my volume and adds brightness. It truly sounds like a studio mic in a concert setting. I also am using this mic in the studio.

Features
I had to buy a case, and having paid what I did, the cardboard box didn't quite cut it. I love the fact the the P version has lock out features and a spinning knob to change settings.

Quality
Wonderfully made receiver (metal casing). I wish the mic casing was a little stronger... I have wonders about it it lasting a gruelling schedule. Plastic tends to crack..... also I dod not like the battery holders.. this see,s like it will be a problem. So far I have used it, no dropouts interference..... absolutely wonderful. read more

Value
I love this system.... my skepticism about durabilty may prove wasted. I had an audio technica that lasted forever... I just didn't like the microphone. (this was the 700 series too.) Shure Beta 87A is the only mic I will use in concert.

The Wow Factor
Shure has a winner here!!! Classy, backlit design on mic and receiver is great. Very strong looking receiver. It looks like it cost the money it costs!!

Musical Style:
power ballad POP/Broadway
