GENERATIONS

AHEAD

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 and installed
sound reinforcement application. Scalable, intelligent hardware delivers uncompromising digital
wireless performance, with a wide selection of trusted Shure microphones to choose from. And with
the latest additions, the ULX-D boundary and gooseneck transmitters, two additional form factors –
ideal for large meetings at conference and convention centers, or for AV conferencing where DECT
spectrum is not an option – complement the range.

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 and installed sound reinforcement.

ULX-D receivers are available

in single, dual and quad channel

configurations, along with a wide

selection of Shure microphones to

accommodate any size installation.

VARIETY OF FORM FACTORS

ULX-D bodypack and handheld

transmitters provide complete mobility

for presenters, while boundary

and gooseneck base transmitters

accommodate meeting rooms with

flexible seating layouts. Boundary

and Gooseneck Base transmitters are

available in black and white.

AUDIO SUMMING

(Dual/

Quad only)

Combining of selected

audio channels to be

routed to all selected

outputs and allows the

receiver to function as a 2

or 4 channel mixer. All XLR

outputs of the selected

channels provide the

summed audio.

LITHIUM ION RECHARGEABILITYSCALABLE HARDWARE

Lithium Ion rechargeability provides up to
9 hours of use on a single charge, while
displaying battery life in hours and minutes
accurate to 15 minutes.

HIGH DENSITY MODE

Optimizes the system by
running at 1mW RF transmit
power and reducing the
modulation bandwidth. The
result is nearly three times
the number of useable
frequencies, enabling up to
47 systems in an open 6MHz
TV channel.

BODYPACK FREQUENCY DIVERSITY

(Dual/Quad only)
The signals from a common source

via two bodypack transmitters with
different frequencies are routed to
receiver's audio outputs. In case of
RF interference, switching between
channels occurs in milliseconds,
without interrupting the audio.

ULXD4 DIGITAL WIRELESS RECEIVER

The Shure ULXD4 is a half-rack, networkable wireless
receiver for use with ULX-D® Digital Wireless Systems.

With an expansive set of professional features, including
24-bit / 48 kHz digital audio quality, efficient and intelligent
RF performance, and AES 256-bit encryption, ULX Digital
offers uncompromising wireless tailored for professional
sound reinforcement.

ULXD4D DUAL & ULXD4Q QUAD CHANNEL DIGITAL WIRELESS RECEIVER

Shure ULXD4D Dual Channel Digital Wireless Receiver offers two / four channels of uncompromising audio quality, RF signal stability and
efficiency, and advanced setup features in a single rack unit. Rugged, yet lightweight and compact, the all-metal chassis houses two / four
independent receivers, each with its own audio and RF meters, gain control, and receiver outputs that can be either direct or summed for
flexible signal routing.

With RF cascade and two Ethernet ports, units easily can share RF signal and be networked together for simplified frequency coordination
and deployment. For networked audio applications, Dante™ digital networking allows multiple channels of audio to be transmitted and
received over a single Ethernet cable. When more compatible frequencies over shorter distances, High Density mode can be enabled to
dramatically increase the number of available open frequencies.

With the suite of features and benefits ULX-D® Digital
Wireless Systems offer, the ULXD4D and ULXD4Q
are truly generations ahead of any other dual / quad
digital receiver in its class, and brings a new level of
performance to professional sound reinforcement.
