Shure ULXD4Q Quad-Channel Digital Wireless Mic Receiver - ULXD4Q=-V50

Product Overview

The Shure ULXD4Q quad-channel digital wireless receiver is a 1RU rack-mount receiver that consolidates four independent receiver channels in a single all-metal chassis for commercial AV installations requiring secure, reliable wireless audio. This V50-band model operates in the VHF range of 174 to 216 MHz and combines AES-256 encryption, Ethernet networking, and Dante digital audio for streamlined deployment. As a rack-mount wireless microphone receiver, the ULXD4Q suits auditoriums, houses of worship, broadcast facilities, and large conference environments running multiple wireless channels. Per-channel gain, metering, and XLR outputs give integrators flexible signal routing.

Product Description

The Shure ULXD4Q is part of the ULX-D digital wireless system and packs four independent receivers into one 1RU all-metal chassis, conserving rack space in busy equipment rooms. Each channel has its own audio and RF meters, gain control up to 60 dB, and an XLR output that can be configured as direct or summed, letting audio from two or more channels combine to specific outputs for flexible routing. The receiver provides wide-tuning frequency bands with an expanded range of up to 166 MHz depending on region, simplifying frequency coordination in congested RF environments. AES-256 bit encryption protects sensitive program material, making the system appropriate for government spaces and corporate boardrooms where secure wireless transmission is required. Ethernet networking streamlines frequency coordination across multiple receivers and integrates with Wireless Workbench 6 software for advanced coordination, monitoring, and control, while Dante support carries networked digital audio to compatible infrastructure. This V50-band configuration covers the VHF 174 to 216 MHz range, an option some installations prefer for spectrum availability. For AV system designers, the ULXD4Q is a dense, networked wireless receiver platform that scales cleanly across multi-room installations.

Key Features

• Four Receivers in 1RU — An all-metal 1RU chassis houses four independent receiver channels, maximizing channel density in the rack.
• Per-Channel Control and Outputs — Each channel provides its own audio and RF metering, gain control up to 60 dB, and an XLR output for precise management.
• Flexible Audio Summing — XLR outputs can be direct or summed, routing two or more channels to combined outputs for adaptable signal flow.
• AES-256 Encryption — Built-in AES-256 bit encryption secures wireless transmission for sensitive corporate and government applications.
• Networked Coordination — Ethernet networking and Wireless Workbench 6 compatibility streamline frequency coordination, monitoring, and control across multiple receivers.
• Dante Digital Audio — Support for Dante networked audio simplifies integration into commercial AV infrastructure.
• VHF V50 Band — Operation in the 174 to 216 MHz VHF range provides an alternative to UHF where spectrum availability favors lower bands.

Typical Applications

• Auditorium
• House of worship
• Broadcast studio
• Conference room
• Government space
