The Shure SLXD14 offers guitar and bass players a wireless instrument system that's dependable, easy to set up, and features crystal-clear digital sound quality with very low latency. Built around a rugged, single-channel, half-rack receiver with removable antennas, the system is ideally suited for portable rigs or long-term installations in small- to medium-sized venues, event spaces, houses of worship, and similar performance environments.

The SLX-D operates in the UHF band to transmit high-quality 24-bit digital audio with over 120 dB of dynamic range for crisp, detailed sound. It utilizes Digital Predictive Switching Diversity to protect the transmission from interference and deliver a solid, reliable RF signal without dropouts.

This configuration comes with a WA305 premium instrument cable ready to plug into your guitar or bass. The cable connects to the bodypack transmitter which features a selectable 1/10mW RF power output and a transmission range up to 330'. It provides up to 8 hours of operation on two AA batteries or an SB903 rechargeable battery (available separately).

The all-metal, rackmount SLXD4 receiver features an intuitive LCD interface with meters for RF, battery status, and audio output. It also offers 60 dB of gain control, and both mic/line XLR and 1/4" instrument outputs. Additional features include automatic frequency scanning and IR sync to easily link the transmitter and receiver to the same frequency.

With up to 32 mic channels available at the same time, the SLX-D is ready to expand as your needs grow. What’s more, setting up multiple systems is made fast and easy via the Ethernet port, which links them together for quick, coordinated frequency scans from a single receiver.

• The 3' Shure WA305 is a straight 1/4" TS guitar cable with gold-plated Neutrik connectors.
• The cable is designed to reduce handing noise and plugs into the locking TA4M connector on the compact SLXD1 bodypack transmitter.
• The rugged, plastic transmitter has a belt clip that attaches to the talent’s clothing or guitar belt and an LCD that shows essential information.

• The SLX-D delivers 24-bit digital audio with a fast transient response and over 120 dB of dynamic range—resulting in clear, accurate sound with detail and nuance.
• The system operates in the J52: 558 to 602 + 614 to 616 MHz UHF band with a 46 MHz tuning range and 1840 selectable frequencies, far away from potential Wi-Fi interference in the 2.4 GHz band.
• Digital Predictive Switching Diversity uses a microprocessor to switch between the two antennas before dropouts occur.
• A low latency of 3.2 ms makes the system ideal for applications that require live sound reinforcement.
• The SLX-D's spectrum-efficient digital transmission technology allows for up to 32 mics or instruments to be used at once.
• Up to 10 compatible systems per 6 MHz TV band and 12 systems per 8 MHz band are supported.
• Ethernet networking saves you time with coordinated group scanning between multiple receivers from a single location; TCPI command streams from third-party companies such as AMX and Crestron are also supported.

• Housed in a tough, half-rack metal chassis with detachable antennas, the SLXD4 receiver is a great fit for installations or as part of a portable rackmount rig—ready to travel to a show or event.
• The SLX-D is engineered to provide outstanding sound for small- to medium-sized spaces and facilities—without costly, complicated features required primarily for large venues.
• Intuitive front-panel controls and a high-contrast LCD screen with audio and RF meters makes set up a snap.
• The auto-scan function automatically seeks out the cleanest available frequency for you. The receiver and transmitter then easily link to the same frequency via infrared.
• The receiver offers up to 60 dB of adjustable gain and the display shows you where the ideal level should be.

• Adding the SB903 lithium-ion rechargeable battery, along with an SBC10-903 single charger or an SBC203 dual-docking charger, offers a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to throwing away AA batteries (batteries and charger available separately).
• Using the SB903 battery and SBC203 charger simplifies the task of keeping multiple transmitters charged and ready—you can even recharge the battery while still in the transmitter.
• When powered by an SB903, the transmitter displays the remaining battery life in hours and minutes.

• Adding UA874 active antennas or PA805SWB passive antennas increases the range of your system and offers increased protection against interference.

• The UA844+SWB antenna distribution system (available separately) lets you stretch the power of your antenna pairs, giving you more on-air channels in less setup time.

Shure offers numerous microphone options to adapt your SLX-D system as your needs evolve.

• The WB98H/C miniature condenser microphone clamps onto the bell of wind instruments or onto the rim of percussion instruments.
• The SM35 is a comfortable, durable headset microphone for active performance.
• The WL183 omnidirectional lavalier mic is a clip on mic that offers consistent pickup even when the talent turns away from the mic.
• The WL184 supercardioid lavalier mic offers a narrower, feedback-resistant pickup pattern for louder events.
• The SLXD2 handheld transmitter is available with several interchangeable mic capsule options including the KSM8 and the legandary SM58.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. How do I choose which frequency spectrum would be best for my application?

A: It depends.. if you are in a rural area it does not make much of a difference, however, if you are in an urban or suburban area you may want to consult the Shure Frequency Finder: https://www.shure.com/en-US/support/tools/frequency-finder

Q: 2. Is this compatible with Shure UA874 antennas?

A: The Shure SLXD24/B58 Digital Wireless Handheld Microphone System with Beta 58A Capsule (G58: 470 to 514 MHz), BH # SHSLXD24BG, is fully compatible with the Shure UA874 Active Directional Antenna (B&H # SHUA874US).

Q: 3. I have Behringer 500W PPA system. The system has 2 XLR inputs and 1 1/4 input. I need to use 5-6 Mics at a time on few occasions, I have 2 XLR cables and microphones. I am not sure if I have to connect both units that come with this system to be able to use all 4 mics?

A: This system is essentially two dual-channel receivers. The XLR outputs are for each of the channels. so you would need 4 xlr cables. The 1/4" outputs are the two channels combined. So, if you are short on inputs on your mixer, use the 1/4" outs, but you will have to adjust each individual mic volume on the receivers. If you have 4 mic inputs open on your board, use 4 xlr cables (one for each channel), and you will be able to adjust each mic's volume independently on your mixer.

Q: 4. Does it come with rack mount hardware?

A: Yes, rack mount hardware is included for the receiver.

Q: 5. Does this pair with any gooseneck mic system from Shure ?

A: The Shure SLXD24D/SM58 only works with other Shure SLX-D components. There are no Shure wireless SLX-D gooseneck systems.

Q: 6. When does the units need to be charged? How long does charging take?

A: The Gemini GMU-G100 Wireless UHF Guitar System charges via its onboard Micro-USB connection on each unit and included USB cable. Specific charge times are not provided by the manufacturer.

Q: 7. I have the Dual-Channel System with H55: 514 to 558 MHz band. I want to get a second unit. Should I buy the same frequency band?

A: In most cases you can use the same frequency band, but to be sure, please click the following link. The Shure Frequency Finder will show you how many microphones you can use per frequency band based on your zip code. https://www.shure.com/en-US/support/tools/frequency-finder

Q: 8. These mics are thick. Does anyone know of a tripod mic clip that will fit these? I keep buying clips that are too small. Squeeze clamps won't open wide enough.

A: Try the WindTech MC4 Extra-Large Heavy-Duty Clip for Wireless Microphones (B&H # WIMC4) which is designed to accommodates wider handheld wireless microphones.

Q: 9. CAN I USE THIS WITH THE OLDER MODEL GLXDR 2.4GHZ RECEIVERS SINCE IT'S BOTH 2.4 & 5.8 GHZ? or do i NEED the UA846Z2/LC?

A: The GLXD+FM frequency manager will work with the GLXD4R receivers on the 2.4 GHz frequencies only. The UA846Z2/LC GLX-D Frequency Manager is the usual model recommended for the GLXD4R.

Q: 10. Can the VocoPro UDH-CHOIR-4 handheld system be used at the same time as the VocoPro UDH-DUAL-B4 bodypack system without frequency interference?

A: We actually use both model in my church and we have never experienced any interference. Both model work on UHF frequency and hardly experience any interference.
