radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1)
l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter
tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en comprom-
ettre le fonctionnement.
WARNING: Danger of explosion if battery incorrectly replaced. Operate only with Shure
compatible batteries.
Note: Use only with the included power supply or a Shure-approved equivalent.
WARNING
• Battery packs may explode or release toxic materials. Risk of fire or burns. Do not
open, crush, modify, disassemble, heat above 140°F (60°C), or incinerate.
• Follow instructions from manufacturer
• Only use Shure charger to recharge Shure rechargeable batteries
• WARNING: Danger of explosion if battery incorrectly replaced. Replace only with same
or equivalent type.
• Never put batteries in mouth. If swallowed, contact your physician or local poison con-
trol center
• Do not short circuit; may cause burns or catch fire
• Do not charge or use battery packs other than Shure rechargeable batteries
• Dispose of battery packs properly. Check with local vendor for proper disposal of used
battery packs.

General Description
Shure ULX-D™ Digital Wireless offers uncompromising audio quality and RF performance, with intelligent, encryption-enabled hardware, flexible receiver options, and advanced rechargeability options for professional sound reinforcement.
A breakthrough in wireless audio quality, Shure digital processing enables ULX-D to deliver the purest reproduction of source material ever available in a wireless system, with a wide
selection of trusted Shure microphones to choose from. Extended 20 Hz – 20 KHz frequency range and totally flat response captures every detail with clarity, presence, and incredibly accurate low end and transient response. At greater than 120 dB, ULX-D delivers wide dynamic range for excellent signal-to-noise performance. For added convenience, proprietary Shure
Gain Ranging optimizes the system’s dynamic range for any input source, eliminating the need for transmitter gain adjustments.
In RF performance, ULX-D sets the bar for spectral efficiency and signal stability. The intermodulation performance of ULX-D is an incredible advancement in wireless performance,
enabling a dramatic increase in the number of simultaneous active transmitters on one TV channel. Rock-solid RF signal with no audio artifacts extends over the entire 100-meter line-ofsight range, even using standard dipole antennas. For applications where secure transmission is required, ULX-D offers Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 256-bit encrypted signal for
unbreachable privacy.
For scalability and modular flexibility, ULX-D receivers come in dual and quad channel versions providing rack-ready conveniences such as RF cascade, internal power supply, audio output channel summing, and DANTE™ digital networking, which delivers multi-channel audio over Ethernet. All receivers offer High-Density mode for closer-range applications where high
channel counts are needed, greatly increasing the amount of simultaneous channels possible over one frequency band.
Advanced Lithium-ion rechargeability provides extended transmitter battery life over alkaline batteries, battery life metering in hours and minutes accurate to within 15 minutes, and detailed tracking of battery health status.
Combined with the suite of features and benefits ULX-D™ Digital Wireless Systems offer, the ULXD4D and ULXD4Q receivers are truly generations ahead of any other digital receivers in
their class, and bring a new level of performance to professional sound reinforcement.
Dual and Quad Receiver Models
The ULXD4 receiver is available in dual channel and quad channel models. Both models share the same feature set and functionality, but differ in the number of channels available and
the number of audio outputs.
The descriptions and procedures in this guide are applicable to either the dual or the quad receiver.
ULXD4D Dual Receiver
Supports 2 channels of wireless audio.

Audio Signal Encryption
When encryption is enabled, the receiver generates a unique encryption key which is shared with a the transmitter during an IR sync. Transmitters and receivers that share an encryption
key form a protected audio path, preventing unauthorized access from other receivers.
Encrypting a Single Transmitter to a Single Receiver
1. From the receiver menu: DEVICE UTILITIES > ENCRYPTION > ON (Auto)
2. Press ENTER.
3. Perform an IR Sync to share the encryption key with the selected transmitter.
Encrypting Multiple Transmitters to a Single
Receiver
Multiple transmitters can share the same encryption key, allowing them access to a single
receiver. Use this method if you have multiple instruments or wish to use a combination of
handheld and bodypack transmitters.
1. From the receiver menu: DEVICE UTILITIES >
ENCRYPTION > ON (Manual) > KEEP KEYS.
2. Press ENTER.
3. Perform an IR Sync to share the encryption key with the first transmitter.
4. Turn off the transmitter and perform an IR Sync to
share the key additional transmitters.
Caution! Make sure only one transmitter is turned on during an IR sync or a performance to avoid causing cross interference between transmitters.
Regenerating Encryption Keys
Periodically regenerating the encryption key maintains security for transmitters and receiv-
ers that are paired for extended periods.
1. From the receiver menu: DEVICE UTILITIES > ENCRYPTION
> ON (Manual) > REGENERATE KEYS.
2. Press ENTER.
3. Perform an IR Sync to share the encryption key with the first transmitter.
4. Turn off the transmitter and perform an IR Sync to
share the key additional transmitters.
Caution! Make sure only one transmitter is turned on during an IR sync or a performance to avoid causing cross interference between transmitters.
Removing Encryption
1. From the receiver menu: DEVICE UTILITIES ENCRYPTION OFF
2. Press ENTER.
3. IR Sync the transmitter and receiver to clear the encryption key.
Note: If multiple transmitters are encrypted to a single receiver, each transmitter must be
IR synced to clear the encryption key.
