Shure is introducing expanded features for its SLX-D Digital Wireless System with the addition of free software networking capabilities. Shure’s Wireless Workbench 6 software and ShurePlus Channels iOS app will be compatible with SLX-D later this summer. The software solutions are designed to provide the necessary RF management for critical oversight and control of Shure wireless systems.
Wireless Workbench 6
Shure’s Wireless Workbench 6 software allows audio professionals to discover and automatically connect to all Shure devices on the network for remote monitoring and control. Users can scan the spectrum, identify open frequencies, and deploy to networked systems.
To ensure an optimal working environment, and smooth production with SLX-D, Wireless Workbench 6 can also help:
- Establish network parameters and track all devices used in any given production
- Manage alerts and make adjustments in real-time without interrupting the performance
- Implement necessary changes to Shure devices remotely from a computer (e.g., naming devices, gain adjustments, IR presets)
ShurePlus Channels App (iOS)
The ShurePlus Channels app gives users optimal control from the palm of their hand, helping them monitor events and make important real-time changes using a mobile device. The easy-to-download iOS app can be connected via Wi-Fi or an Ethernet adapter to automatically discover and manage Shure networked devices. Users are able to precisely monitor RF signal strength, audio levels, and battery life, from their mobile device for on-the-go performance management. Additionally, users can remotely diagnose and adjust critical channel information.
“SLX-D quickly became a preferred easy-to-use digital wireless system ideal for users in education, houses of worship, corporate facilities, live performances, and more. The ability to access stable signals with reliable RF performance, but still provide the scalability needed for different environments, was a huge win for customers,“ says Nick Wood, Senior Wireless Category Director at Shure. “Now, with the addition of these software upgrades, users can instantly improve where and how they are managing performance.”
The SLX-D Digital Wireless System offers 24-bit digital audio, RF that’s easy to set-up, a complete selection of system configurations (single and dual channel options available), and a full complement of microphone selections. Transmitters run on standard AA batteries or the ability to upgrade to a lithium-ion rechargeable battery option with a dual-docking charging station for a complete solution. Easy-to-scale for small assemblies all the way to prominent live events.
Wireless Workbench 6 software and ShurePlus Channels iOS app will be available to download for free in Summer 2021. For more information on pricing and availability for the SLX-D Digital Wireless System, visit www.shure.com/slx-d.
