About the Shure ULXD4Q-GV Quad-Channel Digital Wireless Receiver with Always-On Encryption
The Shure ULXD4Q-GV is a premium quad-channel digital wireless receiver designed for the most demanding professional audio applications where reliability, spectrum efficiency, and security are paramount. Part of Shure's flagship ULX-D series, this receiver can simultaneously manage up to four separate wireless microphone channels within a single 1U rack space, effectively quadrupling system density and simplifying large-scale deployments for broadcast, theater, corporate events, and houses of worship. Operating in the GV frequency band (specifically tailored for regional spectrum availability), it utilizes Shure's advanced digital transmission to deliver crystal-clear audio with a wide dynamic range and exceptionally low latency, ensuring perfect synchronization with wired audio sources. A defining feature is its integrated, always-on 256-bit AES encryption, which secures the audio signal from the transmitter to the receiver against unauthorized interception, a critical requirement for broadcast, governmental, and high-security corporate communications.
The receiver is built around sophisticated RF management tools that maximize performance in crowded wireless environments. It features Shure's proprietary Wireless Workbench software compatibility, allowing for remote monitoring, control, and advanced frequency coordination across large, multi-channel systems. The front panel boasts a high-resolution color touchscreen that provides intuitive access to all settings, real-time RF and audio metering for all four channels, and detailed status information. Each channel is independently controllable and can be linked to compatible ULXD1 or ULXD2 transmitters, with support for automatic frequency selection and synchronization via infrared to ensure quick, error-free setup. The receiver also includes Dante digital audio networking as a standard feature, enabling multi-channel, low-latency digital audio distribution over a standard Ethernet network, which seamlessly integrates wireless audio into modern AV and broadcast infrastructures.
Engineered for mission-critical reliability, the ULXD4Q-GV features robust construction, dual Ethernet ports for network redundancy, and dual antenna inputs with true diversity reception to combat signal dropouts. Its efficient design allows for high channel counts without excessive heat or power consumption. By combining high-density channel capability, uncompromising digital audio quality, mandatory encryption, and comprehensive networkability, the Shure ULXD4Q-GV represents the pinnacle of professional wireless microphone technology, providing audio engineers with a powerful, secure, and future-proof platform for the most complex wireless audio systems.
