The Shure QLXD14 rackmount digital wireless guitar system provides musicians with professional-quality audio, and reliable RF performance. Rugged and easy-to-use, the system delivers an impressively low latency of 2.9ms, so you don't experience any lag when playing in medium-sized venues including concert stages, houses-of-worship, theaters, and clubs.
The QLXD14 operates in the G50: 470 to 534 MHz band to transmit pristine 24-bit/48 kHz digital audio with clarity, accurate low end, and crisp transient response. It utilizes Digital Predictive Switching Diversity to protect the transmission from interference and deliver solid RF signal stability without audio artifacts. You can run up to 60 mic channels at the same location.
The system comes with a WA305 guitar/bass locking cable, which safely connects your instrument to the rugged bodypack transmitter. The transmitter provides up to 9 hours of operation on two AA batteries, with selectable 1/10mW RF power and a transmission range up to 330'.
The receiver features audio and RF meters, 60 dB of gain control, and both mic/line XLR and 1/4" instrument outputs. A large LCD screen and intuitive controls let you quickly make adjustments, even in low-light situations. Additional features include automatic frequency scanning, IR sync, and internal limiting to prevent clipping.
The Ethernet port allows multiple receivers to be easily networked together for simplified frequency coordination and deployment via Shure's Wireless Workbench (WWB) software.
