Shure ULX-D™ Digital Wireless offers uncompromising audio quality and RF performance, with intelligent, encryption-enabled hardware 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. Extended 20 Hz – 20 KHz frequency range and totally flat response captures every detail with clarity, presence, and incredibly accurate low end and transient response. At greater than 120 dB, ULX-D delivers wide dynamic range for excellent signal-to-noise performance. For added convenience, proprietary Shure Gain Ranging optimizes the system’s dynamic range for any input source, eliminating the need for transmitter gain adjustments.
In RF performance, ULX-D sets the bar for spectral efficiency and signal stability. The intermodulation performance of ULX-D is an incredible advancement in wireless performance, enabling a dramatic increase in the number of simultaneous active transmitters on one TV channel. Rock-solid RF signal with no audio artifacts extends over the entire 100-meter line-of-sight range, even using standard dipole antennas. For applications where secure transmission is required, ULX-D offers Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 256-bit encrypted signal for unbreachable privacy.
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.
