Shure is introducing the SLX-D+ Wireless Microphone System, the next evolution in its wireless portfolio. SLX-D+ combines advanced features and ease-of-use and is designed for audio professionals and experienced volunteers in live performance, houses of worship, education, content creation, electronic newsgathering (ENG), broadcast, and video industries.
“SLX-D+ empowers users with greater flexibility, reliability, and control, making wireless audio management easier than ever,” the announcement states. “With wide tuning across all components, users benefit from simplified setup, seamless deployment in any environment, and reduced inventory complexity. Remote system management, AES-256 encryption and automatic feedback suppression further streamline operation, ensuring clear, secure, and uninterrupted performance.”
“As we introduce SLX-D+, we’re not just raising the bar for wireless technology; we’re empowering our customers to push creative boundaries by removing complexity from their workflows,” says Nick Wood, Associate VP, Marketing and Product Management. “By making advanced features like wide tuning and remote management accessible to a broader audience, we’re making wireless more resilient to the most common challenges, streamlining the path to great audio, and shaping a future where audio professionals and volunteers alike can innovate with confidence.”
Wide Tuning: Simplified Deployment and Inventory
SLX-D+ features wide tuning across all components up to 138 MHz (region dependent) designed to enable seamless countrywide deployment and minimize inventory complexity. Systems can operate across multiple frequency bands, reducing the need to own several product variants.
ShowLink Ease
The new ShowLink Ease technology, inspired by ShowLink on Shure’s premier Axient Digital wireless system, provides real-time, two-way communication between receiver and transmitter. Once synced, the transmitter remains paired to the receiver every time it is powered on. This allows for automated radio frequency (RF) set up, and remote parameter adjustments, eliminating the need for physical proximity and streamlining live management from performance to performance.
Interference Management: Enhanced Operation with Continuous Connectivity
Should interference occur, the SLX-D+ system can automatically scan for a new, clean frequency and deploy it to both the receiver and transmitter without requiring user interaction, designed to ensure enhanced operation and continuous connectivity.
Digital Feedback Reduction
SLX-D+ integrates advanced digital feedback reduction (DFR) algorithms to automatically detect and suppress audio feedback, for clarity and confidence.
Mobile Management with Wireless Workbench Applications: Flexible, On-the-Go Control
With mobile management via the Wireless Workbench (WWB) Mobile app, users can monitor and adjust their systems remotely using Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, which is available in SLX-D+ systems to improve workflow efficiency. Gain visibility and control over system gain, transmitter locking and unlocking, battery status, frequency scans and changes, and audio metering.
Backward Compatibility, Streamlined Design
SLX-D+ maintains compatibility with existing SLX-D systems and introduces a new half-rack dual receiver, supporting straightforward upgrades and flexible configurations.
RF Cascade and Audio Summing for Added Flexibility
RF cascading makes it possible for three SLX-D+ Quad Receivers to be linked together to create a twelve-channel SLX-D+ receiver system. This facilitates the ability to quickly scale up and condense the footprint of multi-channel wireless systems without requiring additional accessories.
SLX-D+’s audio summing feature on dual and quad receivers enables users to set and combine audio levels, then mix them down between one and two outputs, simplifying the process of managing wireless output levels and managing receiver outputs to best match open mixer channels.
Availability
Shure featured the SLX-D+ Wireless System for the first time at NAMM 2026 in Anaheim, California. SLX-D+ components will be available in February 2026, with the option to select key wireless configurations for a variety of applications, including handheld bodypack systems and a portable system option. Rechargeable batteries and charging accessories are available separately.
