The updated wireless microphone system from Shure adds features like countrywide frequency deployment, ShowLink Ease remote control, and automatic feedback suppression to the trusted SLX-D line.
More flexible, reliable and controlled, the Shure SLX-D+ Wireless Microphone system makes audio management easier than ever. Revealed at NAMM 2026, the system brings a suite of professional-grade features to audio professionals and is accessible to those with less audio experience. Building on the foundations of the existing SLX-D series, the plus model expands its capabilities while maintaining the accessibility that made its predecessor popular across live performance, houses of worship, education, content creation, and broadcast applications.

The headline feature is wide tuning across all components, spanning up to 138 MHz. This allows systems to operate across multiple frequency bands without the need to separate product variants for different regions—a particularly useful development for touring operations or organisations managing inventory across multiple venues.
ShowLink Ease technology, inspired by Shure’s flagship Axient Digital wireless system, provides real-time two-way communication between the receiver and transmitter. Once synced, the transmitters automatically pair to their receiver each time they power on, enabling automated RF setup and remote parameter adjustments without physical access to the transmitter. For anyone who’s ever had to walk on stage mid-show to adjust a belt pack, this is a welcome addition.
Should interference rear its head, the SLX-D+ can automatically scan for a clean frequency and deploy it to both receiver and transmitter without user intervention. Combined with integrated digital feedback reduction algorithms that detect and suppress feedback automatically, the system aims to keep performances running smoothly, even when conditions aren’t exactly ideal.
Mobile management comes via the Wireless Workbench Mobile app, which now supports both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, the latter being a first for SLX-D systems. Users can monitor and adjust system gain, lock and unlock transmitters, check battery status, run frequency scans, and view audio metering all from their phone or tablet.
When it comes to hardware, the SLX-D+ maintains backward compatibility with existing SLX-D systems and introduces a new half-rack dual receiver. RF cascading allows three quad receivers to link together for a twelve-channel system, while audio summing on dual and quad receivers lets users combine and mix audio levels down to one or two outputs—handy for matching available mixer channels.
Distributed in Australia through Jands, the SLX-D+ represents Shure’s effort to make professional wireless features more accessible without sacrificing reliability.
