ADX5D Dual-channel receiver - Portable

Shure Axient Digital ADX5D is a portable, dual-channel wireless receiver with slot-in design for ENG camera use, EFP sound recordist’s bag, or stand/boom mounted via cold shoe mount for sporting events. This true diversity receiver offers AES-256 bit encryption and networked control via Shure Wireless Workbench, whilst ShowLink Direct Mode allows the remote control of Axient Digital ADX transmitters.

Three optional ADX5BP backplates are available – ADX5BP-TA3 is a stand-alone backplate designed to allow powering from an external source via 4-pin Hirose connector; two audio outputs via TA3 connectors, and a battery sled power input via 4-pin connector. ADX5BP-DB15 backplate has a 15-pin D-Sub connector that is compatible with video cameras such as those manufactured by Sony. ADX5BP-DB25 backplate has a 25-pin D-Sub connector for SuperSlot or UniSlot devices. DB15 and DB25 include spacer plate for proper fit. Any one of the three backplates can be attached using the captive Phillips screws.

The front facing panel of the ADX5D features SMA inputs for removable antennas A and B, SMA input for ShowLink antenna if required, two captive screws for mounting to compatible hardware, and an infrared port to sync to compatible transmitter. A ‘high resolution’ OLED display with associated ambient light sensor to automatically detect lighting conditions and adjust the display accordingly. The OLED display allows the user to navigate menus or view A/B RF input, channel name, frequency, and other important information. Four associated buttons allow for exit, enter, and up/down parameter changes when navigating the menu and setup system. A set of three (red, yellow, and green) LEDs signify audio levels at a glance, however more drilled down readings can be obtained on the OLED display. Two LEDS positioned to the upper left of the front panel signify antenna status for channels A and B, with blue illumination signifying normal RF, red signifying interference detected, and no illumination suggesting no RF connection between receiver and transmitter on the corresponding channel. Finally a 5-stage LED section displays the corresponding channel’s signal to noise ratio whereby all five LEDs are illuminated when the signal is strong and the level of noise is low.

On the underside of the front facing panel there is a 3.5mm jack audio output for monitoring, and a USB-C port for firmware updates.

Included accessories: 1x USB-A to USB-C cable, 2x UHF antenna, 1 x Zigbee antenna, 1x screwdriver.

AD4DNP/AD4DUK Dual-channel receiver - Fixed

Axient Digital AD4D is a 1U rackmountable dual receiver that employs digital technology and true digital diversity to ensure high quality audio with a much reduced level of drop-out. Analogue audio output options include independent balanced 3-pin XLR with a dynamic range of over 120dB (A-Weighted, system gain +10), and a TRS jack output. Onboard digital outputs include Dante with a dynamic range of over 130dB (A-Weighted, system gain +10) and AES3 output is also as standard.

The rear facing panel of the AD4D houses a locking AC main input socket and power output link socket to link the AC power to a second receiver. This link socket can be exchanged for an optional DC power input for redundancy at point of order (1). A user configurable 4-port Dante switch that can be used for control and audio, or separate streams with redundancy is situated to the left word clock I/O. A single AES3 output allows the digital output of channels one and two audio, whilst each channel also has a dedicated 3-pin XLR output as well as TRS 6.3mm jack output. Line/mic and ground lift switches enable to the operator to adjust for best output. On the far right there are four BNC connectors. Channels A and B can be connected to antenna for RF reception whilst channels C and D can be used to cascade the RF reception to additional receivers.

The front facing side of the Axient AD4D receiver features a 6.3mm headphone jack output that enables Dante Cue and Dante Browse monitoring, as well as a rotary headphone volume controller. Both channels one and two have six stage LED meter for RF channel A and B, and blue LED indicators of the functionality of both channel A and B. An eight stage LED meter allows the user to quickly monitor the audio level being received. A large display screen enables the user to see a host of performance feedback including a ‘channel quality’ meter, channel gain, transmitter battery life, channel and frequency. There are four function keys to the right of the screen that give quick access to the intuitive menu shown on the screen whilst a large rotary control know and enter/exit buttons also help navigate the user definable settings available. A rocking and latching power switch is positioned to the far right of the front panel. Rack mount fittings are not removable.

Note: (1) optional redundant power option must be requested at time of order and may incur additional lead time. IEC mains power link is standard.

AD4QNP/AD4QUK Quad-channel receiver - Fixed

AD4Q receiver has all the same functionality as the AD4D receiver however it has four channels of reception. The receiver can be linked to two antenna for normal operation, or four antenna for ‘Quadversity’ mode whereby four remote antenna can be connected for optimum reception and much reduced drop out. This is particularly useful for operation within stadia or theatre where line of sight isn’t applicable, but also effective for multi-room broadcast operating from a central control hub such as hotel presentation rooms or houses of worship. When running in ‘Quadversity’ mode, the BNC connectors usually used for cascading are instead used for the two additional remote antenna.

Each channel has a dedicated balanced 3-pin XLR output and 6.3mm TRS jack output, however if using AES3 outputs for channels 1 and 2, channel 3 XLR output is utilised therefore the TRS jack output can be used for analogue output. Likewise, channel 4’s XLR output is utilised for channels 3 and 4 AES3 output so analogue output will be via TRS jack output.

With the exception of two additional channels of monitoring, the front facing panel is the same as the AD4D.
