Shure ULX-D®

Shure ULX-D Digital Wireless offers uncompromising 24-bit audio clarity and extremely efficient RF performance with single, dual, and quad channel receivers for any size professional sound reinforcement application.

Scalable, intelligent hardware delivers the best performing digital wireless available, with a wide selection of trusted Shure microphones to choose from. Unmatched spectrum efficiency enables a dramatic increase in the number of simultaneous active transmitters on one TV channel, with rock-solid signal over the entire range. Optional rechargeable accessories eliminate the need for disposable batteries while offering extended run time and metering accuracy in hours and minutes. For secure transmission, all ULX-D components include AES-256 encryption.

Generations ahead of any other available system in its class, ULX-D brings a new level of performance to professional sound reinforcement.

Shure Product Benefits

How It Works

ULX-D pushes wireless audio further. More streamlined. Higher density. Up to 47 systems running simultaneously within 6 MHz. That’s one reason it’s become the standard bearer for installed digital wireless. And you can hear it in crystal clear performances around the world.

Quality that’s in the Details

• Multiple spectrum options, including VHF, UHF, 900 ISM, 1.2 GHz (Japan only), and 1.5 GHz and 1.8 GHz (Europe only)
• Multiple transmitter types including handheld, bodypack, boundary, and gooseneck options
• Choice of receiver type (single, dual, or quad)
• Monitoring and control functionality from Wireless Workbench® 6, SystemOn, and ShurePlus™ Channels apps.
• Dual and quad receivers include DANTE™ digital audio networking
• Dante Domain Manager (DDM) compatible for managing enterprise-wide Dante audio network deployments

Why It’s Better

True to the source

The 24-bit digital audio and the wide frequency response capture the sound as clearly and accurately as it was produced.

Scalable control

The network is always yours to command with proven Shure tools like Wireless Workbench®, SystemOn, Axient Spectrum Manager, as well as AMX & Crestron integration and Dante audio.

Secure sound

Confidentiality is ensured via AES-256 encryption that generates a randomized key for each use.

Networked, intelligent charging

ULX-D transmitters use either AA batteries or our intelligent rechargeable solutions for up to 9 hours of use. Battery life and charge status can be monitored remotely from Shure software. So power is always on your side.
