The new SLX Wireless Systems are aimed at installed sound applications and working bands. They have Shure's patented Audio Reference Companding technology, along with automatic synchronization and support for up to 12 compatible systems per frequency band (country dependent). Features include Utilising Auto Frequency Selection and Auto Transmitter Setup, allowing the system to scan the landscape for clear channels. The transmitter then syncs automatically with the receiver frequency via an infrared link.

The bodypack transmitter works with headworn, lavalier and instrument mics and cables, while the hand-held transmitters are offered with SM58, SM86, Beta 58A, Beta 87A, and Beta 87C capsules.

Shure has also added the E3 sound-isolating earphones to its E Series in-ear earphones, designed for personal monitor systems and portable listening devices. Plus, in March, the hardwired SM86 vocal mic - the latest SM - will be made available as a wireless capsule in Shure's SLX, ULX, and UHF systems. Like the hardwired SM86, wireless SM86 capsules will have a cardioid pattern and frequency response of 50Hz to 18kHz.
