General Description

™
Shure ULX-D Digital Wireless offers uncompromising 24­bit audio quality and RF performance, with intelligent, encryption­en­
abled 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 flat response captures every detail with clarity, presence, and incredibly accurate low end
and transient response. With greater than 120 dB, ULX­D delivers wide dynamic range for excellent signal­to­noise perfor­
mance. Optimized for any input source, ULX-D eliminates the need for transmitter gain adjustments.
ULX-D sets a new and unprecedented standard for spectral efficiency and signal stability. The intermodulation performance of
ULX­D is an incredible advancement in wireless performance, enabling a dramatic increase in the number of simultaneous ac­
tive transmitters on one TV channel. Rock­solid RF signal with zero audio artifacts extends over the entire range. For applica­
tions where secure wireless transmission is required, ULX-D offers Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 256-bit encrypted
signal for unbreakable privacy.
For scalability and modular flexibility, ULX-D receivers come in single, dual, and even quad channel versions. The dual and
quad channel receivers offer conveniences such as RF cascade, internal power supply, bodypack frequency diversity, audio
output channel summing, and Dante digital networking for multi-channel audio over Ethernet. All receivers offer High-Density
mode for applications where high channel counts are needed, greatly increasing the amount of simultaneous channels possi­
ble 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.
Generations ahead of any other available system in its class, ULX-D brings a new level of performance to professional sound
reinforcement.

Features

Uncompromising Professional Digital Wireless
