Shure and Soundcraft’s new collaboration enables native monitoring and control of select Shure wireless systems on Soundcraft Vi Series digital consoles. The initial implementation will be revealed on the new Soundcraft Vi5000 and Vi7000 digital mixing consoles, and will support Shure’s ULX-D and QLX-D Digital Wireless Systems. This new integration with the mixing console enables automatic Shure device discovery, identification, and mapping of each wireless system to the appropriate mixer channel. When that channel is selected on the console, all essential wireless parameters are displayed. This enables live monitoring of the channel’s RF and audio metering, with the ability to adjust receiver gain from the console. In addition, battery life status for Shure rechargeables and standard AA alkalines is supported. Models ULX-D and QLX-D are two of the newest digital wireless systems from Shure. Both use Ethernet connectivity to deliver system data to Soundcraft Vi Series consoles. ULX-D Dual and Quad systems also offer networked digital audio connectivity via Dante. Along with the new Vi5000 and Vi7000, a subsequent software update will support Shure wireless integration, including the current Vi1 and Vi3000.
