About the Shure SLXD14/153T Digital Wireless Omni Earset Microphone System
The Shure SLXD14/153T is a complete digital wireless system configured with an over-the-ear earset microphone, designed for performers who require a discreet, hands-free solution with consistent audio quality. This system includes the SLXD1 bodypack transmitter and the lightweight, flexible WL153T omnidirectional condenser earset. The WL153T microphone features a nearly invisible, clear tube that positions the microphone capsule discreetly near the corner of the mouth, providing clear vocal pickup while remaining unobtrusive for theatrical performers, vocalists, and presenters. The system operates on the UHF band with 24-bit digital transmission, delivering clear, interference-free audio with a wide dynamic range.
The omnidirectional polar pattern of the WL153T capsule captures sound naturally from all directions, which reduces tonal changes caused by head movement and eliminates the proximity effect. This results in a consistent, open sound that is less susceptible to plosives and wind noise compared to directional lavaliers. The bodypack transmitter is compact and durable, powered by two AA batteries for extended operation. The included SLXD4 dual receiver provides true diversity reception and a clear display for monitoring system status. The earset's over-the-ear design ensures a secure and comfortable fit for a wide range of users, even during vigorous movement.
This system is particularly favored in musical theater, live singing performances, and high-profile presentations where visual discretion is as important as audio quality. It provides performers with complete freedom of movement and expression, unencumbered by handheld or bulky headset microphones. The combination of reliable digital wireless, a comfortable and discreet earset, and natural omnidirectional sound makes the SLXD14/153T a premier choice for demanding performance environments.
