Shure P9RA+ PSM900 Bodypack In-Ear Monitor Receiver

Product Overview

The Shure P9RA+ is a compact stereo bodypack receiver for the PSM900 Professional In-Ear Personal Monitoring System, delivering a hybrid analog/digital architecture with advanced RF performance features for demanding touring and commercial AV environments. With a 36 MHz tuning range, Precision Front-End RF Filtering, and CueMode capability for storing up to 20 monitor channels on a single bodypack, the P9RA+ is designed for productions requiring high channel density, superior RF reliability, and performer-level mix control in complex RF environments.

Product Description

The P9RA+ positions Shure's PSM900 as the professional mid-tier IEM platform between the PSM300 and PSM1000 systems. Its hybrid analog/digital architecture provides more headroom and better stereo separation than the PSM300's companded analog approach, while CueMode enables a single performer to store and instantly switch between up to 20 separate mix channels — useful in broadcast environments where multiple program feeds must be monitored. The 4-band parametric EQ at the bodypack provides detailed tone shaping beyond the 2-band shelving EQ available on PSM300 receivers. Precision Front-End RF Filtering actively attenuates out-of-band interference for cleaner RF performance in dense wireless environments such as broadcast facilities and large-format venues. The SB900A lithium-ion rechargeable battery provides extended runtime with precise remaining life tracking.

Key Features

• Hybrid Analog/Digital Architecture — Combines analog and digital signal processing to deliver more headroom, better stereo separation, and higher fidelity than companded-analog-only IEM systems.
• CueMode with Up to 20 Stored Channels — Stores up to 20 monitor mix channels in a single bodypack for rapid switching between independent program feeds — essential for broadcast studios and large-scale production environments.
• 4-Band Parametric EQ — Provides detailed frequency-specific tone shaping at the bodypack, offering significantly more control than 2-band shelving EQ systems.
• Precision Front-End RF Filtering — Actively reduces out-of-band RF interference to provide cleaner signal reception and fewer dropouts in RF-dense commercial and broadcast environments.
• 36 MHz Tuning Range — Wide tuning bandwidth with up to 20 compatible simultaneous channels per frequency band, supported by advanced intermodulation filtering.
• MixMode Technology — Allows custom blending of two independent audio channels into a personalized mono mix or full stereo operation.
• SB900A Rechargeable Battery — Lithium-ion battery with precise remaining life and charge cycle tracking supports rigorous production battery management.
• Compact Bodypack Form Factor — Low-profile design suitable for all performing arts, broadcast, and commercial AV performer applications.

Typical Applications

• Broadcast studio
• House of worship

Frequently Asked Questions

What transmitter is required for the P9RA+?
The P9RA+ is designed for use with Shure PSM900 system transmitters. The frequency band of the P9RA+ must match the PSM900 transmitter for proper operation.

How does CueMode benefit broadcast and multi-program production environments?
CueMode allows a single performer or operator to store up to 20 mix channels in one bodypack and switch between them instantly. In broadcast, this enables rapid monitoring of different program feeds or IFB channels without manual frequency retuning.

How does the P9RA+ compare to the PSM300 P3RA receiver?
The P9RA+ offers a hybrid analog/digital architecture (versus PSM300's analog companding), a 4-band parametric EQ (versus 2-band shelving), CueMode channel storage, wider 36 MHz tuning range, Precision Front-End RF Filtering, and higher channel density. It is the appropriate choice for productions requiring superior RF performance and more advanced bodypack control.

Is the P9RA+ PSM1000 compatible?
The P9RA+ is designed for the PSM900 system. It is not compatible with PSM1000 transmitters. For PSM1000 receiver requirements, see the P10R+ bodypack.
