The Shure SLXD1 is a professional digital wireless bodypack transmitter, serving as a core component of the SLXD wireless system for instrument and lavalier microphone applications. This compact and rugged transmitter is engineered to provide reliable, high-fidelity wireless audio for musicians, presenters, and performers. Constructed with a durable metal casing, it is built to withstand the physical demands of touring and daily use. The SLXD1 operates on the UHF band and utilizes 24-bit digital transmission to deliver exceptional audio clarity with a wide dynamic range and very low latency, ensuring the performer's timing and dynamics are preserved accurately. It is powered by two standard AA batteries, offering extended operational time for lengthy performances or events.

The transmitter features a clear, backlit LCD screen that provides essential information at a glance, including selected frequency, RF and audio signal levels, battery life, and transmitter gain settings. An integrated locking Neutrik connector securely attaches a wide variety of compatible lavalier microphones or instrument cables, preventing accidental disconnection during vigorous movement. The SLXD1 is designed for simplicity and reliability, with intuitive menu navigation and the ability to be remotely monitored and controlled when used with the compatible SLXD4 receiver and system software. This allows audio technicians to manage transmitter parameters from the front-of-house position.

As a versatile wireless tool, the SLXD1 bodypack transmitter enables freedom of movement for a wide range of sources. It is equally adept at transmitting signal from a condenser lavalier on a presenter as it is from a guitar or bass via a direct input cable. Its robust digital link provides interference-free operation and excellent audio fidelity, free from the companding artifacts associated with analog systems. The SLXD1 forms a reliable foundation for any application where a discreet, high-quality wireless connection from a body-worn or instrument source is required.
