The Score Magazine at The NAMM Show 2026
At The NAMM Show 2026 celebrating 125 years, Shure introduced the SLX-D+ digital wireless microphone system, a refined upgrade built for professionals and real-world users alike. Designed to balance high-end performance with everyday usability, SLX-D+ stood out on the show floor for doing something rare: making wireless audio simpler without compromising quality.
Built on trust, refined for today
SLX-D+ builds on the success of Shure’s SLX-D platform, expanding its capabilities while keeping the workflow intuitive. One of the biggest upgrades is the wide 138 MHz tuning range, allowing users to operate across multiple frequency bands without switching hardware. This is especially useful for touring productions, rental companies, and venues working across regions.
Audio quality remains unmistakably Shure. With 24-bit digital audio and a dynamic range exceeding 118 dB, SLX-D+ delivers clean, natural sound for vocals, instruments, broadcast, and spoken word. Whether it’s a live concert, theatre production, or corporate setup, the system maintains clarity even in demanding RF environments.
Smarter control, less stress
A major highlight is ShowLink® Ease, adapted from Shure’s flagship Axient Digital systems. Once transmitters are paired, the system remembers settings every time it powers up. This eliminates last-minute scrambling during soundchecks and live shows.
Remote control is another strong advantage. Using Shure Wireless Workbench with Bluetooth or network connectivity, engineers can scan frequencies, adjust gain, and manage systems without touching the transmitters. For multi-mic setups, this saves time and reduces on-stage disruption.
Designed for reliability
SLX-D+ includes digital feedback reduction, helping suppress feedback before it becomes audible, a big win for live venues and houses of worship. The system also features AES-256 encryption, ensuring secure, interference-free audio in crowded wireless environments.
Scalability is clearly a focus. From single-channel receivers to quad systems, SLX-D+ adapts easily to everything from classrooms and worship spaces to broadcast rigs and touring stages.
Wireless that works with you
SLX-D+ doesn’t try to reinvent wireless audio, it refines it. By combining dependable RF performance, modern control features, and Shure’s trusted sound, the system feels purpose-built for today’s fast-moving production environments.
Discovered at NAMM 2026, SLX-D+ proves that professional wireless can be powerful, flexible, and genuinely easy to use all at the same time.
