Shure SLXD3 Digital Plug-On XLR Transmitter | G58: 470 to 514 MHz

The Shure SLXD3 stands out as a dependable digital wireless plug-on XLR transmitter that pairs perfectly with the SLXD4, SLXD4D, and SLXD5 receivers. Its compact, lightweight design and robust all-metal construction, along with available phantom power, make it an ideal choice for demanding on-set conditions. Whether you’re conducting street interviews with a handheld dynamic or condenser microphone or wirelessly booming with your favorite shotgun mic (both available separately), this unit delivers top-notch performance.

Plug-On Transmitter Features

• The SLDX3 features a secure, twist-locking XLR connector ready to accommodate a huge variety of microphone options, including handhelds like Shure’s VP64 and SM63 models as well as shotguns like the VP82 and VP89 (mics available separately).
• The transmitter offers 12 and 48V phantom power options for condenser microphones.
• Engage the -12 dB pad for use on loud sources or use the +12 dB boost option on low-level sources.
• Use the mic offset gain function to fine-tune the 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 includes a leather case with a belt clip and an OLED screen that shows essential information.
• A selectable 1/10/30mW RF output allows you to increase the transmission power for long distances or to overcome interference, if necessary; the system provides a maximum transmission range up to 330′.
• Two AA batteries (included) or an SB903 rechargeable battery (available separately) will power the unit for up to 8 hours.

Transparent Digital Sound, Dependable Performance, and Multi-Mic Mode

• The SLX-D system 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 version of the SLXD3 transmits in the G58: 470 to 514 MHz UHF band, with a 44 MHz tuning range and 1760 frequencies available to ensure a clean wireless signal.
• The separately available receivers all feature Digital Predictive Switching Diversity, which 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 you to expand the system and use up to 32 mics at the same time.
• Great for shoots with several cameras and microphones, the receiver’s 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, including 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.

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 components display the remaining battery life in hours and minutes.
• The USB-C port on the transmitter allows for battery recharging and direct powering.
