Page 5: System Overview
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 channel scan and IR sync make finding and assigning an open frequency quick and easy. -

Page 12: Creating Audio Channels
Creating Audio Channels A wireless audio channel is formed when a receiver and transmitter are tuned to the same frequency. To ease setup, frequencies available to the QLX-D system are organized into groups and channels. Each group contains a number of channels, and each channel is assigned to a specific preset frequency. -
Page 13: Receiver Gain Adjustment
Receiver Gain Adjustment The gain control sets the overall signal level for the system. The default gain level is 12 dB and the available gain range is -18 to 42 dB, in 1 dB increments. Set the gain to a level where the audio LED appears green or yellow, with only the highest audio peaks causing the LED to occasionally turn red and engage the limiter. -
Page 14: Control Lock Options For The Receiver And Transmitter
Audio Signal Encryption The QLX-D receiver features Advanced Encryption Standard (AES-256) to protect the audio signal. 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 by other receivers. -
Page 15: Linking Two Transmitters To A Receiver
Linking Two Transmitters to a Receiver Linking two transmitters to a receiver offers the flexibility to provide a performer with either a handheld or bodypack transmitter to meet their preference. For performances requiring instrument changes, two bodypack transmitters can be linked to a single receiver. Note: Only turn on and operate one transmitter at a time to prevent interference between the transmitters. -
Page 16: Custom Groups
Custom Groups Specific channels and frequencies can be selected and placed into custom groups. Custom groups are commonly used to assign networked receivers to a specific range of frequencies or to pre-configure receivers for rental applications. Once a custom group has been created, it can be loaded to the receiver using the group menu. -
