With reduced spectrum and an increasingly crowded RF environment, wireless users everywhere are operating under challenging conditions.  This makes it essential to have tools for frequency coordination and system management that help to ensure consistent performance of your wireless inventory.

The SLX-D Digital Wireless System offers flawless 24-bit digital audio, rock-solid RF performance, and easy set-up, and now, Shure has added networking capabilities to SLX-D that make it compatible with Shure’s Wireless Workbench® 6 software and ShurePlus™ Channels iOS app.  These software solutions offer the same powerful RF management that professionals rely on for critical oversight and control of Shure wireless systems at major events around the world.

But you don’t have to be setting up for a major event to benefit from these free software tools.  Wireless Workbench eliminates the guesswork of choosing frequencies for wireless microphones and personal monitor systems -- even when you have a mix of brands and models – to ensure exceptional performance whether you have eight systems or 80.  ShurePlus Channels lets you monitor the status of your Shure wireless systems even when the receiver rack is out of view.

Wireless Workbench 6 lets you remotely monitor and manage every piece of gear connected to your system without interrupting the production.  Frequency calculation and analysis for supported devices allows you to coordinate the entire show from one application.  The Timeline feature even lets you track RF data and review it later.  Advanced Zone Management makes calculating and organizing frequencies for large or distributed environments more manageable.
