Shure AD4Q
WIRELESSAxient Digital quad channel receiver
Prices are per 24 hours of rental. Longer rentals, delivery and setup are quoted on request.
The Shure AD4Q is the four-channel Axient Digital receiver: four independent wireless microphones in one 19-inch rack unit. It is the highest tier of wireless we rent, going out to concerts, theatres, TV shows and large conferences where there are many microphones and dropouts are not an option. One AD4Q takes four transmitters in any combination: handhelds, bodypacks for headset microphones or the AD3 plug-on transmitter.
The receiver works with every Axient Digital transmitter: AD1, AD2, AD3, ADX1 and ADX2. Outputs are both analogue XLR and Dante, so the signal can go straight into a Yamaha DM3 or QL1 over a network cable. For two channels the AD4D is enough; for eight, take two AD4Q and share the antennas through the receivers' RF cascade ports or a Shure UA844+ distributor. QLX-D and SLX-D are the simpler series when top-tier reliability is not required.
What to consider when renting
The AD4Q goes in a rack or on a table, needs power and two antennas; for a distant stage order Shure UA874WB directional antennas and antenna cables. Transmitters sync by infrared in front of the receiver in a few seconds. The receiver finds frequencies by scanning; with several receivers the technician coordinates them in Wireless Workbench. Order batteries and the SBRC charger separately. We recommend a sound engineer for the setup.
