Shure ANX4US-DC

Product Overview

The Shure ANX4US-DC is the DC-powered variant of Shure's scalable multi-channel wireless receiver, built for large-venue and permanently installed AV projects that run on centralized DC power infrastructure such as broadcast facilities and government installations. Like the standard ANX4US, this ANX4 scalable wireless receiver supports up to 16 channels of Axient Digital or 24 channels of ULX-D wireless audio in a single rack space, with channel count expandable through software licenses instead of additional rack hardware. It is designed for AV system designers specifying multi-channel wireless microphone systems for auditoriums and broadcast studios already standardized on DC power distribution.

Product Description

The ANX4US-DC covers the same wide 174 MHz to 2 GHz tuning range as the standard ANX4US, spanning nearly all Axient Digital and ULX-D frequency options in a single 1.7 x 19.0 x 11.3 inch, one-rack-unit chassis, but draws power from a DC source rather than standard AC, which matters for facilities running centralized DC power plants or battery-backed distribution for mission-critical AV systems. The receiver ships without active wireless channels; integrators purchase 1-channel or 4-channel licenses separately and activate them through a ShureCloud account, which also allows licenses to be transferred between ANX4 receivers as a venue's channel needs change.

Ethernet and Dante connectivity let the ANX4US-DC integrate directly into a networked audio installation, with four RF antenna connectors (antennas sold separately) supporting distributed antenna placement for better RF coverage in large rooms. A 6.6-inch front panel color display with a five-segment channel quality meter gives on-site AV techs a quick view of RF and audio status without a laptop, and full 256-bit AES encryption protects wireless audio in security-sensitive AV integration projects.

Because channel licenses are perpetual and transferable, this scalable wireless receiver installation lets a facility start with a smaller channel count and expand later without replacing the receiver itself, an approach well suited to broadcast studios and government facilities planning multi-year AV system integration on DC-powered infrastructure.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the ANX4US-DC differ from the standard ANX4US?
The ANX4US-DC is powered from a DC source instead of standard AC, matching facilities that run centralized or battery-backed DC power distribution; channel capacity and RF performance are otherwise the same as the ANX4US.

Does the ANX4US-DC include active wireless channels out of the box?
No. It ships without active channels; 1-channel or 4-channel licenses must be purchased and activated separately through ShureCloud.

Can channel licenses be moved to a different receiver?
Yes. Licenses are perpetual and can be transferred between ANX4 receivers through a ShureCloud account.

Is the ANX4US-DC compatible with Dante audio networks?
Yes. The receiver includes Dante networking alongside Ethernet connectivity for control and monitoring.

What DC power specifications does this receiver require?
Confirm exact DC voltage and current requirements with your AV integrator or Shure documentation before specifying power infrastructure for this receiver.

What warranty applies to the ANX4US-DC?
Shure covers the ANX4US-DC under its standard manufacturer warranty. Contact Creation Networks for current terms and AV integration support.

Does Creation Networks help plan channel licensing and power infrastructure for DC-powered systems?
Yes, our AV consultants can help plan channel license quantities, frequency coordination, and power infrastructure for ANX4-DC based systems.
