ULX-D® Digital Wireless Systems

BREAKTHROUGH
PERFORMANCE

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 the best performing digital wireless available, 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.

Breakthrough Technologies

ULX-D® Digital Wireless represents an incredible advancement in wireless performance. Shure innovation brings
to market new features and technologies that dramatically increase spectrum efficiency, dependability, and signal
routing convenience.

Transparent 24-Bit Digital Audio

Signal stability with no audio artifacts extends over the
entire 100 meter (300 feet) line-of-sight range using
standard supplied dipole antennas.

Networked Control

Ethernet networking enables streamlined setup across
multiple receivers, Wireless Workbench integration,
frequency coordination via Axient Spectrum Manager,
AMX and Crestron control as well as DanteTM digital
networked audio.

Lithium Ion Rechargeability

Lithium Ion rechargeability provides up to 11 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.

Signal Stability

The 24-bit / 48 kHz digital audio delivers incredibly
clear and accurate capturing of source material. It offers
a wide frequency range with flat response for superb low
range and transient response.

Advanced Encryption

The 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard guarantees
unbreachable privacy – for all installations where secure
transmission is key. A new, unique, randomized encryption
key is generated every time encryption is enabled.

Scalable Hardware

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.

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.

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.

Networked Audio Hardware

Shure SystemOn Audio Asset Management
Software was developed for managing mission
critical or large-scale deployments of Shure
audio hardware, including ULX-D , across
corporate and higher education networks from
one central platform.

SystemOn tracks audio levels, battery life and
RF/spectrum status in real time, enabling IT
administrators and AV technicians to monitor
and control Shure hardware devices remotely
using a laptop, smartphone or tablet.
