"Shure producers another winner"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
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.
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!!

"BLOWN AWAY!!"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
If you can't decide, the answer is yes! GET THIS MIC!!!
Sound
I am blown away! The sound of this mic coupled with the cost absolutely blows my mind. It sounds great with my church's system which is in the process of being improved and sounded even better when I hooked into a traveling groups sound system. It handles my loud voice without distorting but also picks up so well that I am training myself to sing softer when possible which saves my voice.
Features
I love that it automatically picks a channel and I as of yet have not received any interference with any other wireless systems.
Ease of Use
Plug in and take off, it is that simple.
Quality
The mic looks great, and is comfortable in your hand. I love it!
Value
In short I recommend this mic to everyone.
The Wow Factor
I am unsure of this rating, all I know is it is a nice looking mic and it works so incredibly well that I cannot imagine singing without it!

Shure ULXS24 Beta 87A Customer Review

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I have always had great success with your microphones. The Sehnesiser has a more rugged component, but I still like Shure; been using it for 7 years going on, and the mics offer a much wider variety of sounds, compare to other brands out there.
Sound
the midrange sound is great, but is lacking the clearness, particularly in the 4-6.5khz range. With some added highs, this component will bring a very pleasing warm-bright sound, a feature that I use a lot with my style of sound reinforcement.
Features
The selectable frequency bands make it especially useful. I have some of your previous components that only came with one frequency and was often to no use in most of my applications due to the high volume of constantly moving our gigs in a mobile environment.
