First shown at NAMM, the multi-channel receivers round out a 16-product platform that scales from a single channel to dense, high-density rigs.
AUDIX has completed its Novacore digital wireless platform, with the dual-channel NCR2 and quad-channel NCR4 receivers now shipping. Both units are receivers, the rack boxes at a sound desk that pick up the signal sent from wireless microphones and bodypacks. The NCR2 handles two wireless channels at once and the NCR4 handles four, so a venue running plenty of mics can cover several from a single unit rather than a box per channel. Built for front-of-house engineers, houses of worship and AV integrators, the two receivers carry AUDIX’s trusted stage-microphone sound into digital wireless, with the reliability those rooms depend on.
First shown at Winter NAMM 2026, the pair rounds out a 16-product range that scales from a single-channel setup to dense multi-channel rigs.

The NCR2 and NCR4 are built to slot into a networked rig, with built-in Dante and AES67 outputs running alongside balanced analogue XLR, so they drop into a networked audio system or a traditional one without extra converters.
Two hardware features are new to the multi-channel receivers. A front-panel headphone jack with its own channel selector and volume control lets an engineer monitor any individual wireless channel straight from the receiver, while the free AUDIX Frequency Coordinator software handles spectrum scanning and monitoring across the system. Receivers daisy-chain through rear RJ11 ports via the NCPC USB adapter, sold separately, which removes the need for external network switches on higher channel counts.
Housed in a 1RU black steel chassis, each unit shows group, channel and frequency info, RF and audio levels, antenna status and transmitter battery life on a front-panel LCD, with on-board scanning and infrared sync to handheld and bodypack transmitters.
“We built Novacore to cut through the noise of modern digital wireless,” says Eric Reese, AUDIX Vice President. “With our dual- and quad-channel receivers now shipping, the complete 16-product ecosystem is fully market-ready.”
The receivers work across the full Novacore family of transmitters and VLM capsules, and the capsules’ industry-standard thread even fits many existing handheld transmitters, Shure systems included. Both are available now through pro audio and integration retailers or direct from AUDIX.
