Shure QG-H2-US – Q5X MicCommander Remote with US Power Adapter

Product Overview

The Shure QG-H2-US Q5X MicCommander is a handheld wireless remote control for Q5X series wireless transmitters, enabling operators to manage up to 32 Q5X transmitters from a single device over a 2.4 GHz RCAS control channel with a range of up to 40 meters. It is the US version of the QG-H2, including a North American 6V DC power adapter in addition to battery and USB power options. The MicCommander is designed for broadcast engineers, live sound operators, and AV system integrators managing multi-transmitter Q5X wireless deployments in commercial production environments.

Product Description

The QG-H2-US provides all the transmitter management capabilities of the QG-H2 with the added convenience of an included US power adapter, making it the appropriate specification for North American commercial AV installations where AC-powered operation is preferred. Via the RCAS (Remote Control Audio System) 2.4 GHz protocol, operators can remotely turn Q5X transmitters on and off, change frequencies, adjust RF power and mic offset, monitor battery levels and encryption status, and organize transmitters into groups — from up to 40 meters away and through walls. USB connectivity enables integration with Q5X MicControl software for PC-based system coordination and also powers the device when connected. For installations outside North America, specify the QG-H2 (adapter not included) and source a locally-compatible 6V DC adapter.
