Shure QLX-D – professional wireless audio without compromise

With Shure QLX-D you choose a digital wireless microphone system developed for professional applications where reliability, sound quality and easy management are central.

Within the Shure range, QLX-D sits above the more entry-level wireless solutions and is designed for users who want to deploy multiple wireless channels professionally.

Think of:

• Live bands
• Theaters
• Musicals
• Convention centers
• Events
• Churches
• Corporate presentations
• Rental companies
• Installations
• Professional AV productions

The combination of digital audio, efficient RF technology and network functionality makes QLX-D particularly interesting for productions where multiple microphones must function simultaneously.

24-bit digital audio

A key advantage of QLX-D is the digital audio transmission.

The system works with 24-bit digital audio and offers a dynamic range of more than 120 dB according to Shure.

This results in a transparent and detailed transmission from the microphone to the receiver. This is important for both speech and music.

For vocals, this means a natural transmission of dynamics and detail.

For presentations, the system ensures clear and intelligible voice reproduction.

Highly reliable wireless transmission

QLX-D is designed for professional RF applications.

The system uses efficient digital transmission and supports multiple simultaneous channels within a coordinated frequency range.

This allows you to use multiple microphones side-by-side without each system having to be considered a completely separate solution.

This makes QLX-D attractive for professional technicians and rental companies.

Automatic frequency scan

One of the practical features of QLX-D is the automatic frequency scan.

The receiver can scan available frequencies and find a suitable one.

This makes setting up a wireless system significantly easier.

Especially when working at different locations, this can save a lot of time.

Linking transmitters and receivers

A QLX-D transmitter can be easily paired with a receiver.

IR synchronization sends the main settings from the receiver to the transmitter.

This eliminates the need to manually configure each device.

This is particularly useful when working with multiple wireless microphones.

AES-256 encryption

For applications where security is important, QLX-D supports AES-256 encryption.

This allows the audio signal to be secured against unauthorized reception.

This makes QLX-D interesting for, for example:

• Corporate presentations
• Government locations
• Meetings
• Conferences
• Professional installations
• Events

For standard live performances, encryption may not be necessary, but in corporate and professional environments, it can be a significant advantage.

Networked audio and system management

QLX-D is designed with professional system integration in mind.

The receivers feature Ethernet networking capabilities, allowing multiple receivers to be managed within a single system.

With Shure Wireless Workbench, technicians can monitor wireless systems, plan frequencies and manage key parameters.

For a small setup, this might be redundant.

However, for a production with multiple wireless microphones, it becomes extremely interesting.

Imagine, for example, a theater production with:

8 handhelds + 8 bodypacks + multiple receivers.

In that case, you don’t want to check every receiver individually.

Network management allows you to work much more clearly.

Shure Wireless Workbench

One of the major advantages of the Shure ecosystem is the integration with Wireless Workbench.

Wireless Workbench is developed for professional RF planning and monitoring.

This allows technicians to, among other things:

• Plan frequencies
• Monitor wireless systems
• View RF status
• Configure equipment
• Perform frequency coordination
• Manage multiple receivers

For rental companies and large productions, this is a very important feature.

Shure QLX-D handheld systems

Various handheld configurations are available within QLX-D.

Depending on the chosen version, a QLX-D handheld can be supplied with different Shure microphone capsules.

This allows you to tailor the system to the application.

For vocals, for example, you can choose a capsule known for its excellent live performance.

For presentations, a different capsule might be preferred.

The big advantage is that the wireless technology remains the same while you can adapt the microphone to the user.

Bodypack systems

QLX-D is, of course, not only suitable for handheld microphones.

With the QLXD1 bodypack transmitter, you can use various lavalier, headset and instrument microphones.

This makes QLX-D particularly suitable for:

• Presenters
• Theater actors
• Musical productions
• Speakers
• Singers
• Dancers
• Conferences

A bodypack can be worn discreetly under clothing while the microphone is used as a headset or lavalier, for example.

Lavalier microphones

For presentations and corporate applications, a lavalier microphone is often the ideal solution.

The microphone is attached to clothing and ensures the user has their hands free.

Combining a QLX-D bodypack with a good lavalier creates a professional wireless presentation solution.

For:

conferences, training, presentations and events

this is a very popular configuration.

Headset systems

For performers and presenters who move a lot, a headset is often even more practical.

A headset microphone stays close to the mouth and therefore offers a consistent microphone distance.

This makes QLX-D very suitable for:

• Musicals
• Theater
• Fitness presentations
• Worship
• Speakers
• Live entertainment

Wireless instruments

QLX-D can also be used for instruments.

With a QLXD1 bodypack and a suitable instrument cable, you can, for example, send:

• Guitar
• Bass guitar
• Keyboard
• Other instruments

wirelessly to the PA system.

This allows you to handle both vocals and instruments wirelessly within one QLX-D installation.

Professional for rental

QLX-D is a particularly interesting series for rental companies.

Why?

Because one system can be used for many different customers.

Today the system can be used for a band.

Tomorrow for a conference.

And after that for a theater production.

The professional RF capabilities, network functionality and various microphone configurations make QLX-D suitable for a wide range of productions.

QLX-D for events

Wireless microphones are often indispensable at events.

A presenter walks across the stage.

A speaker stands before the audience.

An artist moves through the room.

A guest is interviewed.

All these applications require wireless freedom.

QLX-D combines that freedom with the reliability you expect from a professional Shure system.

QLX-D for theater and musicals

Theater is one of the applications for which QLX-D is particularly suitable.

Actors must be able to move freely.

Microphones must function reliably.

Multiple systems must work together simultaneously.

And the technician must maintain control over the entire RF infrastructure.

With multiple QLX-D receivers, bodypacks and headset microphones, you can equip a complete theater production wirelessly.

Professional sound quality

The goal of a wireless system is ultimately simple:

it should sound as if there is no wireless system in between.

That is exactly where digital transmission plays an important role.

QLX-D is designed to deliver a wide and transparent audio signal while maintaining detail and dynamics.

This allows the user to concentrate on the performance and the technician to worry as little as possible about audio quality.

QLX-D versus SLX-D+

For SpeakerKoning, this is an interesting comparison.

SLX-D+

An excellent choice for:

• Presentations
• Live music
• Events
• Theater
• Medium-sized productions
• Professional mobile applications

QLX-D

A step towards:

• Larger productions
• Professional installations
• Rental
• Multiple wireless channels
• More extensive network management
• Professional RF coordination

QLX-D is therefore particularly interesting when your wireless infrastructure continues to grow.
