System Overview

QLX-D Digital Wireless delivers defined, streamlined performance with transparent 24-bit digital
®
audio. Combining professional features with simplified setup and operation, QLX-D offers outstand-
ing wireless functionality for demanding live sound events and installations.
Shure digital wireless technology enables QLX-D to transmit clearly detailed audio with extended,
virtually flat frequency response. Designed to be highly RF spectrum efficient, QLX-D can operate
more than 60 compatible channels simultaneously in a single frequency band. Automatic chan-
nel scan and IR sync make finding and assigning an open frequency quick and easy. Ethernet
connection provides networked channel scanning across multiple receivers and Shure Wireless
Workbench control software compatibility for advanced frequency coordination. AES-256 encryp-
®
tion comes standard and can be easily enabled for secure wireless transmission.
QLX-D also adds Shure rechargeable power options to provide dramatic long-term cost savings
and extended transmitter battery life over alkaline batteries, and battery metering that reports
remaining runtime in hours and minutes. With clearly defined performance and innovation, QLX-D
delivers the very latest in digital wireless technology from Shure.
