Product Description
The Shure SLXD35 offers videographers, journalists, documentary makers, and content producers a reliable wireless plug-on transmitter system that delivers crystal-clear digital sound quality while also being quick and easy to set up, even if you're using multiple mics on set. Built around a rugged, single-channel receiver that can be camera-mounted or used in an audio bag, the system offers a comprehensive feature set that ensures professional-sounding, broadcast-ready results for demanding news gatherers and creators. This configuration includes a handheld plug-on transmitter with a locking connector that will accommodate any XLR microphone of your choice (sold separately).
Transparent Digital Sound, Dependable Performance, and Multi-Mic Mode
- The SLX-D delivers 24-bit digital audio with a fast transient response, a 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response, and a 118 dB dynamic range, resulting in clear, accurate sound.
- Operating far away from potential Wi-Fi interference in the 2.4 GHz band, this configuration of the system transmits in the G58: 470 to 514 MHz UHF band, with a 44 MHz tuning range and 1760 frequencies it can autoscan to ensure a clean wireless signal.
- Digital Predictive Switching Diversity uses a microprocessor to switch between the two antennas before dropouts occur.
- A low latency of 3.2 ms helps ensure your sound and picture are easy to properly sync.
- The SLX-D's spectrum-efficient digital transmission technology allows for up to 32 mics to be used at once.
- Great for shoots with several cameras and microphones, Multi-Mic Mode lets you scan and create a list of clean frequencies, which you can send to multiple receivers via IR.
- Each receiver will sync to the appropriate transmitter at the touch of a button; settings on the transmitters like the input gain and high-pass filter are also recalled.
- Multi-Mic Mode makes channel allocation easier and more efficient since the receivers aren’t all auto scanning and competing for open frequencies.
Plug-On Transmitter
- This configuration includes the SLXD3 plug-on transmitter with a secure, twist-locking XLR connector to accommodate a huge variety of microphone options, including handhelds and shotguns (available separately).
- The transmitter offers 12 and 48V phantom power options for condenser microphones.
- The SLXD3 features a -12 dB pad for use on loud sources and a +12 dB boost option for use on low-level sources.
- Use the mic offset gain function to fine-tune the input gain and ensure multiple mics are at similar volume levels.
- Engage the 150 Hz high-pass filter to reduce distracting, unwanted low-end for clearer speech.
- The rugged, all-metal transmitter features an OLED screen that shows essential information and includes a leather case with a belt clip.
- The system provides a transmission range up to 330'. A selectable 1/10/30mW RF output allows you to increase the transmission power to maximize the distance or to overcome interference, if necessary.
- Two AA batteries or an SB903 rechargeable battery (available separately) will power the unit for up to 8 hours.
Rugged Receiver Ready for Camera or Audio Bag
- Powerful and portable, the SLXD5 is a single-channel digital wireless receiver for on-camera cold shoe mounting and audio bag use featuring user-configurable front-panel controls and a bright OLED screen for key system function readouts and remaining battery life.
- Housed in a tough metal chassis with adjustable front-mounted antennas, the SLXD5 is a great fit for on-the-go shooting rigs.
- It offers adjustable gain control and dual 3.5mm outputs including a headphone monitor out and switchable line/mic output. Additional features include automatic frequency scanning and IR sync to easily link the transmitter and receiver to the same frequency.
- Two AA batteries or an SB903 rechargeable battery (available separately) will power the unit for up to 5.5 hours.
Optional Rechargeable Battery Management
- Adding the SB903 lithium-ion rechargeable battery, along with an SBC10-903 single charger, SBC203 dual-docking charger, or SBC80-903 8-bay charger offers a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to throwing away AA batteries (batteries and chargers available separately).
- Using the SB903 battery and SBC203 charger simplifies the task of keeping multiple transmitters charged and ready—you can even recharge the battery while still in the transmitter or receiver.
- When powered by an SB903, the transmitter and receiver both display the remaining battery life in hours and minutes.
- For bag use, the SBC-DC-903 battery eliminator (available separately) allows you to power the receiver from your mixer's battery.
- USB-C ports on the transmitter and receiver allow for battery recharging and direct powering.
A Variety of Mics and Transmitters Available
Shure offers numerous lavalier, headset, and handheld microphone options to adapt your SLX-D system as your needs evolve.
- The SLXD3 works with just about any XLR microphone on the market including Shure's VP64A and SM63L handheld mics as well as the VP89 shotgun.
- The SLXD1 is a rugged bodypack transmitter featuring a TA4M connector to accommodate a wide range of lavalier and headset mic options.
- The WL183 omnidirectional lavalier mic offers consistent pickup, even when the talent turns away from the mic.
- The WL185 cardioid lavalier mic provides a directional pickup pattern for less background sound.
- The WL184 supercardioid lavalier mic offers a very narrow, feedback-resistant pickup pattern for louder events.
- The discrete UL4 UniPlex subminiature cardioid lav provides directional pickup, exceptional clarity, and a discreet, low-profile appearance.
- If you need a waterproof option, the DL4 DuraPlex miniature lavalier features an IP57 rating for water and dust resistance. Its forgiving omnidirectional microphone capsule delivers a clear, transparent, full-range sound.
- The SLXD2 handheld transmitter is available with several mic capsules choices for presenters who prefer the flexibility of a handheld microphone.
