Shure QLXD14 Wireless System – G50 Band

The Shure QLXD14 is a digital wireless bodypack system for lavalier mics, headworn mics, and wireless instruments in mid-size venues, presentation spaces, and houses of worship. It pairs the QLXD1 bodypack transmitter with the half-rack QLXD4 receiver, delivering transparent 24-bit digital audio, AES-256 encryption, and efficient spectrum use in the G50 band (470-534 MHz). The receiver finds open frequencies and syncs them to the transmitter at the push of a button.

Shure QLXD14: Flexible Digital Bodypack Wireless

A bodypack system is the most versatile kind of wireless: plug in a lavalier for a lecture hall, a headset for a fitness class or worship leader, or an instrument cable for a guitarist or bassist. The QLXD14 includes the transmitter and receiver so you can choose the microphone or cable that fits each user. It’s designed for Shure WL183, WL184, WL185, WL93, and SM35 mics and works with any Shure microphone using a TA4F connector.

Professional Digital Performance

QLX-D’s 24-bit digital audio sounds clear and natural, with more than 120 dB of dynamic range for ample headroom. Digital Predictive Switching Diversity protects against dropouts, and AES-256 encryption keeps confidential meetings and sermons private. Selectable display modes show group and channel, frequency, or battery runtime at a glance.

Setting Up the QLXD14

Place the receiver with a clear line of sight to the performance area and connect its output to your mixer. Run a frequency scan, press Sync to set the transmitter via IR, and connect your lavalier, headset, or instrument cable to the bodypack’s TA4F input. Clip the bodypack to a belt or waistband and set gain so the meters peak comfortably below clipping.

What to Pair With the QLXD14

Pair the QLXD14 with a Shure WL185 or WL93 lavalier, an SM35 headset, or a WA302 or WA305 instrument cable. Add an SB900 rechargeable battery and charger for lower running costs, and UA874 antennas for extended range in larger rooms.

Lavalier, Headset, or Instrument?

Lavaliers are discreet and ideal for presenters and lecturers. Headworn mics keep the capsule at a fixed distance from the mouth for more consistent level and gain before feedback, which suits fitness instructors and active worship leaders. Instrument cables turn the bodypack into a wireless guitar or bass rig. The QLXD14 supports all three.

Networked Control

The QLXD4’s Ethernet port allows remote monitoring and control from Mac, PC, and iOS, and coordinated frequency management across multiple receivers with Shure Wireless Workbench, simplifying setup for churches and venues running several systems.
