Shure SLXD3 Overview

The Shure SLXD3 is a reliable digital wireless plug-on XLR transmitter compatible with the SLXD4, SLXD4D, and SLXD5 receivers. Compact and lightweight, with a robust, all-metal construction and available phantom power, the unit is well suited for tough on-set operating conditions. Attach the handheld dynamic or condenser microphone of your choice for man-on-the-street interviews or connect your favorite shotgun mic for wireless booming (both types of mics are available separately).
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.
