The Shure Q5X QT-AD10 AquaMic is a professional wireless bodypack transmitter engineered for extreme environmental conditions, specifically designed to be fully waterproof and submersible. It is part of the AquaMic series, built for applications where exposure to water, sweat, rain, or rigorous cleaning is inevitable, such as in theatrical productions with water effects, theme park shows, marine environments, and high-endurance sporting events. The transmitter features a robust, sealed housing that protects its internal electronics from moisture ingress, ensuring reliable operation in situations where standard wireless transmitters would fail.

This model is equipped with a locking LEMO 6-pin connector, which provides a secure interface for waterproof microphones or accessory cables. The six-pin configuration typically supports a balanced microphone input along with separate conductors for powering and controlling accessory devices like condenser microphone capsules. The transmitter operates on the QLX-D digital wireless platform, offering high audio quality, secure transmission, and reliable RF performance with features like automatic frequency selection and networking capabilities. Its design prioritizes both durability and user comfort, with a form factor suitable for concealment under costumes or athletic gear.

The AquaMic transmitter represents a specialized tool for audio professionals working in challenging environments. By combining waterproof construction with professional-grade wireless technology, it eliminates a significant point of failure in productions where water is present, allowing performers and presenters to move freely without compromising audio quality or system reliability.
