New Shure developments bring transformative scalability and flexibility to wireless systems

Shure introduces new levels of scalability and flexibility to its wireless systems. New innovations include the ANX4 scalable wireless receiver, Channel Expansion and Transmission Mode for Axient Digital PSM, channel scalability, the Axient Digital Standard Transmission Mode, and ULX-D wide tuning solutions.

The ANX4, a high channel count wireless receiver, is the first Shure wireless receiver featuring channel scalability, offering up to sixteen channels of Axient Digital or twenty-four channels of ULX-D in a single device via channel licenses. ANX4 hardware will be available this fall. This summer, Channel Expansion capability and Axient Digital Standard Transmission Mode will be available for Axient Digital PSM as a firmware update through ShureCloud or the Shure Update Utility.

Up to twelve stereo audio channels for the ADTQ quad transmitter and six for the ADTD dual transmitter can be added, totalling sixteen or eight stereo channels, respectively. The Axient Digital Standard Transmission Mode enables ADTQ and ADTD transmitters to send wireless audio to various Axient Digital microphone receivers, extending high-power, long-distance audio transmission capabilities. New transmitters and receivers, shipping in the United States this autumn, will provide an expanded frequency range and greater geographic usability for the ULX-D Wireless System. New wide tuning ULX-D components are compatible with the scalable ANX4 digital wireless receiver.

Once channel licenses are purchased for ANX4 or Axient Digital PSM, they can be activated by the owner and later reallocated to other hardware units of the same type through ShureCloud. For example, an audio professional can deploy their licensed ANX4 channels between any number of ANX4 receivers and likewise deploy their licensed Axient Digital PSM channels between any number of Axient Digital PSM transmitters. This flexibility allows users to move wireless channels without having to move their hardware, making it easier to meet the changing requirements of high channel count productions.

The ANX4 wireless receiver is a scalable device which can be operated in either Axient Digital or ULX-D mode, supporting all available transmitter options in those platforms. It ships without preconfigured wireless channels and can be activated to support any channel count up to its maximum capacity using ShureCloud. This innovative design empowers users to buy channel licenses in the quantity they need and provision these across multiple ANX4 hardware units. Available in AC- and DC-powered versions, the ANX4 includes a wide tuning range of 174 MHz to 2 GHz and two pairs of antenna inputs that can each be tuned up to 72 MHz wide. The single rack receiver maximises efficiency by using less space and reducing heat. This is designed for audio rental companies, fixed installations, and location sound mixers, as it reduces the space and weight typically required for high channel count solutions.

Enhanced connectivity options on ANX4 include four Ethernet and four coaxial antenna inputs for streamlined configuration, with no need for additional antenna distribution gear. Additionally, ANX4 features a 6.6-inch front panel colour display, support for all ULX-D and Axient Digital frequency bands, Dante/AES67 outputs, and a 1/4-inch front-panel headphone connector for monitoring. ANX4 also supports network control with Shure Wireless Workbench for remote RF monitoring and management.

New ULX-D components updated with wide tuning bands include: ULXD1 bodypack transmitters, ULXD2 handheld transmitters, ULXD4D dual channel receivers, and ULXD4Q quad channel receivers. New wide tuning ULX-D components are compatible with the scalable ANX4 digital wireless receiver. Legacy ULX-D tuning band transmitters will work with wide tuning receivers. Likewise, legacy ULX-D tuning band receivers will work with new wide tuning transmitters as long as frequency ranges match. ULX-D wide tuning wireless system components will begin shipping this autumn.
