Shure P3R Bodypack Receiver for PSM300 Systems

Product Overview

The Shure P3R is a wireless stereo bodypack receiver for the PSM300 Personal Monitor System, delivering 24-bit digital audio clarity with up to 90 meters of operating range. Designed for performers requiring a reliable, lightweight IEM receiver, the P3R integrates Shure's patented Audio Reference Companding technology and MixMode functionality for precise personal mix control. It is a direct add-on for existing PSM300 systems and pairs with any P3T transmitter in the matching frequency band, making it suitable for houses of worship, theatres, auditoriums, and commercial AV installations.

Product Description

The P3R bodypack receiver connects directly to a performer's in-ear earphones and receives audio from a P3T transmitter. With 24-bit digital signal quality and Audio Reference Companding, the P3R delivers a clean, low-noise monitor mix without the artifacts associated with standard analog companding. MixMode technology allows the performer or audio engineer to blend two channels of audio into a custom mono mix or switch to full stereo mode with adjustable left/right balance. One-touch frequency scan and IR sync make system setup fast and reliable, while the battery status LED display and power save mode help manage battery consumption in long-production environments. Note: frequency bands must match between the P3R and the paired P3T transmitter. See the complete Shure P3TR112GR PSM300 Wireless In-Ear Monitor System for a ready-to-deploy package.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Which transmitter is compatible with the P3R?
The P3R is designed for use with the Shure P3T transmitter as part of the PSM300 system. Frequency bands must match between the P3R receiver and the P3T transmitter for proper operation.

What is MixMode and how is it used in a live production context?
MixMode lets a performer or monitor engineer blend two discrete audio channels at the bodypack — useful when a stereo mix is sent from the transmitter but a performer wants a custom mono blend, or when independent vocal and instrument feeds are distributed on separate channels.

Can the P3R be used in a house of worship or corporate AV installation?
Yes. The P3R’s 90-meter range, straightforward IR sync setup, and 24-bit audio make it suitable for fixed installation environments including sanctuaries, multi-purpose rooms, and commercial meeting spaces where performers or presenters need wireless personal monitor feeds.

What is the expected battery life?
The P3R runs up to 7 hours on 2 AA batteries. Power save mode can extend battery life further in applications with extended pre-show or standby periods.
