Shure ADX5DUSTA=-B Digital Dual-Channel Slot-Mount Wireless Receiver (606 to 810 MHz) (TAA-Compliant)

Product Overview

The Shure ADX5D (Band B: 606–810 MHz) is a TAA-compliant dual-channel portable slot-in wireless receiver delivering Axient Digital performance for broadcast, film, and field production. Compatible with all Shure AD-series and ADX-series transmitters, it combines 129 dB dynamic range, 2 ms analog output latency, and High Density mode with a slot-in form factor designed for camera hot shoes, SuperSlot and UniSlot multi-couplers, and audio bag organizer plates.

Product Description

The ADX5DUSTA=-B operates in Band B (606–810 MHz), providing frequency coordination options across a broad UHF range useful for productions where lower-band A spectrum is already allocated. True digital diversity reception per channel delivers drop-out resistance and reliable range in complex RF environments—stadiums, convention centers, and large multi-camera productions. High Density mode enables tighter channel spacing when spectrum is limited, while ShowLink Direct Mode gives engineers wireless control over Axient Digital transmitters at up to 30 meters without a separate access point. The interchangeable backplate system accommodates TA3, DB15, and DB25 output configurations for broad camera and recorder compatibility. TAA compliance qualifies this unit for federal government broadcast facilities and institutional media procurement. Pair with the Shure ADX5-MOUNT-TA Cold Shoe Mounting Plate for camera-top use.

Key Features

• Band B: 606–810 MHz — Broad UHF coverage providing an alternative frequency range for productions where lower-band A spectrum is congested or unavailable.
• Dual-Channel Slot-In Receiver — Compact slot-in design compatible with camera hot shoes, SuperSlot/UniSlot multi-couplers, and audio bag plates for versatile field deployment.
• High Density (HD) Mode — Advanced digital modulation allows more wireless channels to coexist in available RF space, enabling large multi-channel productions in spectrum-constrained environments.
• 2.08 ms Analog Output Latency — Standard Density mode delivers near-zero latency essential for synchronized broadcast audio and video workflows.
• True Digital Diversity Per Channel — Independent diversity reception on both channels minimizes dropout risk and maintains consistent performance in challenging RF conditions.
• ShowLink Direct Mode — Wireless control of Axient Digital transmitters from the ADX5D itself, up to 30 meters, without a separate ShowLink access point or dedicated engineering computer.
• Interchangeable Backplate System — TA3, DB15, and DB25 backplate options support diverse audio output and power configurations across professional cameras and recorders.
• 129 dB Dynamic Range — Preserves full audio fidelity across the dynamic range of live events, broadcast, and film production without compression or limiting artifacts.
• Machined Aluminum Housing — Built for field production durability in ENG, sports coverage, and on-location film environments.
• TAA Compliance — Meets Trade Agreements Act requirements for government procurement and institutional purchasing programs.

Typical Applications

• Sports video and live event field production
• Broadcast studio and ENG location work
• Film and reality TV on-location audio capture
• Government broadcast facilities requiring TAA-compliant wireless
• House of worship broadcast and live streaming
• Auditorium and multi-purpose room video production workflows

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Band B compare to Band A for the ADX5D?
Band B (606–810 MHz) and Band A (470–636 MHz) overlap between 606–636 MHz, but Band B extends the operating range up to 810 MHz. Band B is a good choice when lower UHF spectrum is congested or when regulatory allocation favors operating in the 700–800 MHz range. Match transmitter and receiver bands when building your system.

What cameras and mounting systems is the ADX5D compatible with?
The ADX5D fits cameras and multi-couplers using SuperSlot and UniSlot slot-in receiver interfaces. With the ADX5-MOUNT cold shoe accessory, it mounts to camera hot shoes. The backplate system (TA3, DB15, DB25) accommodates most professional camera and recorder audio connectors.

Can I use ShowLink Direct Mode without Wireless Workbench running?
Yes. ShowLink Direct Mode on the ADX5D allows remote control of Axient Digital transmitters directly from the receiver’s display menus, without needing a laptop running Wireless Workbench. This makes it practical for solo operators or small crews working without a dedicated audio engineering position.

Is the ADX5DUSTA=-B eligible for government or institutional procurement?
Yes. The TAA designation confirms Trade Agreements Act compliance, qualifying this receiver for federal government procurement through GSA schedules and institutional purchasing programs.

What warranty does the ADX5D carry?
Shure products are backed by Shure’s standard limited warranty. Contact Creation Networks for current warranty terms and authorized service options for the Axient Digital ADX5D.
