Shure ADX5DUS Digital Dual-Channel Slot-Mount Wireless Receiver

Product Overview

The Shure ADX5D is a dual-channel portable wireless receiver from the Axient Digital platform, engineered for film, broadcast, and sports production where mobile RF performance is critical. This slot-in receiver is compatible with all AD and ADX series transmitters and delivers high spectral efficiency, low latency, and transparent digital audio in a camera-mountable form factor. It brings touring-grade Axient Digital reliability to location sound, ENG crews, and portable broadcast rigs.

Product Description

The ADX5D packs two channels of Axient Digital reception into a compact, slot-in chassis designed to mount on cameras, bag rigs, and portable production carts. An advanced digital modulation scheme provides high spectral efficiency, and High Density (HD) mode further increases the number of usable channels in congested RF environments such as live sporting events and multi-camera shoots. True digital diversity reception on each channel improves drop-out resistance and range as talent moves across a sound stage or arena. ShowLink Direct Mode allows remote control of compatible Axient Digital transmitters without external access-point hardware, which streamlines on-location adjustments. Wide tuning across the A, B, and C frequency bands gives sound mixers flexibility to coordinate frequencies across complex productions. As shown in the product images, the receiver accepts interchangeable backplates and battery sleds for integration into different camera and bag workflows. An auxiliary 3.5 mm output supports headphone monitoring or a balanced line-level feed to a mixer or recorder.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which transmitters are compatible with the ADX5D?
The ADX5D works with all Shure AD and ADX series transmitters, including the Q5X AquaMic bodypacks used in professional sports broadcast.

How does it perform in crowded RF environments?
High Density (HD) mode increases spectral efficiency to fit more channels into limited spectrum, which is valuable at stadiums, broadcast compounds, and multi-camera shoots.

Can it mount on a camera or in a bag rig?
Yes. The slot-in design supports interchangeable backplates and battery sleds for camera-mount and portable bag-rig integration.

What output options does it provide for monitoring?
A 3.5 mm auxiliary output supports headphone monitoring or a balanced line-level feed to a mixer or recorder, in addition to the slot-mount audio interface.

Do I need to match frequency bands when ordering?
Yes. Match the receiver band (A, B, or C) to your transmitters. A compatible transmitter option is the Shure Q5X AquaMic Waterproof Bodypack Transmitter. Contact Creation Networks for frequency coordination support.
