Shure has announced the debut of the new SLX-D Quad-Channel digital receiver, available in both standard (SLXD4Q+) and Dante-enabled (SLXD4QDAN+) versions, that pair with existing SLX-D transmitters in building on the feature set of SLX-D digital wireless with a suite of new capabilities that include an expanded 138 MHz tuning range capability enabling country-wide frequency versatility (region dependent).
On display at the 2025 NAMM Show at the Anaheim Convention Center at booth 15608, the new receiver models consolidate four channels of wireless into a single rack unit so that users can improve rack and storage space, require fewer accessories, simplify setup and cabling, centralize control and monitoring, improve multi-channel frequency management and synchronization, and provide a redundant channel for critical applications by assigning one channel as a backup.
“SLX-D Quad receivers bring everything to the table that users expect from SLX-D: flawless 24-bit audio, streamlined, network-ready setup, and rock-solid RF,” says Nick Wood, senior director, Global Marketing and Product Management at Shure. “Now these features are available in a space-saving, four-channel receiver with wide tuning bands that cover the available UHF frequency range. This means a single SLX-D Quad receiver can be deployed throughout an entire country and sync with any band of existing SLX-D transmitters.”
SLX-D Quad’s new audio summing feature enables users to set and combine audio levels, then mix them down to between one and four outputs, helping to simplify the process of managing wireless output levels and managing receiver outputs to best match open mixer channels. RF cascading makes it possible for two SLX-D Quad receivers to be linked together to create an eight-channel SLX-D receiver system without requiring additional accessories.
With SLX-D Quad Receivers, users can find multiple open frequencies and sync with their existing SLX-D transmitters. At startup, the receiver’s display guides users through setup and shows the battery life and health of each channel. XLR, 1/4-inch, and Dante output options cater to a wide range of professional audio requirements. Users can connect UA874 active directional antennas to SLX-D Quad receivers without additional power supplies required.
The SLXD4Q+ has four XLR and four 1/4-inch outputs with two ethernet connections. The Dante-enabled SLXD4QDAN+ includes the same features as the standard version, along with a Dante audio digital output that enables direct connection to digital consoles for use in any application.
Purchase includes the quad receiver, power supply, hardware kit, two 1/4 wave antennas, two BNC cables, two rack mount brackets, two BNC Bulkhead adapters, an ethernet cable, and adhesive feet. Go here for more specifics.
In addition, Shure has announced the expansion of its partnership with Yamaha digital consoles to include Shure SLX-D wireless receivers. Sound engineers can control the receiver gain of SLX-D systems from the mix position, as well as monitor important information such as battery status and RF level.
