About the Shure ADTQ Axient Digital PSM Quad IEM Transmitter
The Shure ADTQ Axient Digital PSM Quad IEM Transmitter is a high-channel-count, rack-mounted transmitter designed for professional in-ear monitoring (IEM) systems, representing the pinnacle of Shure's Axient Digital wireless technology for monitoring applications. It enables the simultaneous transmission of up to four completely independent, mix-minus audio channels to multiple performers or monitor engineers, each with their own personalized stereo or mono monitor mix, on separate wireless frequencies. This capability is critical for large-scale touring acts, broadcast productions, and theatrical performances where multiple artists and crew require distinct, interference-free monitor feeds with ultra-low latency and pristine audio quality. The system operates in the protected UHF spectrum and leverages the robust, frequency-agile architecture of the Axient Digital platform to ensure reliable performance in the most challenging RF environments.
The ADTQ transmitter integrates advanced digital wireless technology to deliver exceptional audio fidelity and system resilience. It transmits uncompromised 24-bit/48 kHz digital audio, providing a dynamic range and clarity that far surpasses traditional analog systems. Key to its performance is Shure's proprietary Audio Reference Companding (ARC), which minimizes noise and artifacts while maintaining full-frequency response. The system offers extensive RF coordination tools, including built-in spectrum analysis, automatic frequency selection, and compatibility with Shure's Wireless Workbench software for remote management and monitoring of large wireless networks. The transmitter can be linked with multiple Shure AD receivers, such as the AD1 and AD3 beltpacks, allowing performers complete mobility without sacrificing audio quality or reliability.
Designed for seamless integration into professional touring and installation racks, the ADTQ features a robust 1RU metal chassis with a clear, informative front-panel display for monitoring status, signal levels, and RF health. It supports flexible powering options, including AC mains and external DC, and can be configured for redundant operation. Each of the four channels can be individually configured for stereo or mono operation, and features sophisticated gain staging, limiting, and delay controls to fine-tune the audio feed for each performer. As part of the comprehensive Axient Digital ecosystem, the ADTQ Quad IEM Transmitter provides an unparalleled combination of channel density, audio transparency, and wireless control, establishing it as the industry reference for high-stakes, multi-user in-ear monitoring systems.
