Building on the established performance of the SLX-D wireless microphone system, SHURE has unveiled the SLX-D+ platform, introducing a suite of enhanced features focused on spectrum efficiency, automation and system control for demanding professional environments. Operating across multiple frequency bands, SLX-D+ offers wide tuning across all components of up to 138MHz, allowing greater flexibility when coordinating systems in congested RF conditions. ShowLink Ease technology enables real-time, two-way communication between the receiver and transmitter, ensuring that once synced, the transmitter automatically reconnects to the receiver every time it is powered on, simplifying RF setup and enabling remote parameter adjustments without manual intervention.

Designed to minimise operational risk, SLX-D+ integrates digital feedback reduction (DFR) algorithms that automatically detect and suppress audio feedback, while also continuously scanning for clean frequencies and deploying them to both the receiver and transmitter should interference occur, without requiring user interaction. System monitoring and control are extended via the Wireless Workbench (WWB) Mobile app over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, providing mobile access to gain visibility and control, transmitter locking and unlocking, battery status, frequency scans and audio metering. For larger channel counts, RF cascading allows up to three SLX-D+ quad receivers to be linked together to create a 12-channel SLX-D+ receiver system. Audio summing further simplifies system integration by allowing wireless output levels and receiver outputs to be matched to open mixer channels, combining audio levels to one or two outputs on the dual and quad receivers. Maintaining continuity for existing users, SLX-D+ is backwards compatible with current SLX-D systems and includes AES256 encryption for secure transmission.

Alongside the wireless platform update, Shure has also expanded its KSM condenser microphone series with the introduction of the KSM32C, KSM40C and KSM44MP models. Designed to deliver clarity, flexibility and effective off-axis rejection for vocals, instruments and ensemble applications, the new microphones feature lightweight metal capsules ranging from 0.75 to 1 inch, complemented by advanced shock mounts and curved magnetic pop filters. The KSM32C large-diaphragm condenser offers a smooth, balanced response with strong low-frequency performance for vocals, instruments, drum overheads and ensemble work, and is available in both stage and studio bundles. The KSM40C delivers natural, detailed audio with an enhanced proximity effect and natural high-frequency boost, making it suitable for vocals and a wide range of instruments including guitar amplifiers and kick drums. Completing the range, the KSM44MP employs a dual-diaphragm design to maximise sensitivity, stabilise pattern consistency and improve low-frequency off-axis control, with selectable cardioid, omnidirectional and bidirectional polar patterns providing versatility for vocals, pianos, stereo techniques, distant miking and ensemble recording.
