Shure AD4Q-NP

The AD4Q-NP is the four-channel receiver at the heart of Shure's Axient Digital platform, the company's flagship professional wireless. It packs four independent channels into a single rack space with the RF muscle that touring, broadcast, and large-venue work demand: wide tuning across the band, Quadversity antenna reception for reliable pickup in punishing RF, High-Density mode for maximum channel counts, and 2 ms latency. The NP designation means No accessories Provided, so it is priced and packed as an additional receiver for a system that already has cables and a rack kit.

Outputs and networking are built for modern infrastructure, with XLR analog plus AES3, AES67, and Dante digital audio over a configurable four-port Ethernet switch, and AES-256 encryption for secure transmission. In High-Density mode it supports up to 47 active transmitters per 6 MHz TV channel, and it works with the full Axient Digital transmitter line including AD1, ADX1, ADX1M, AD2, ADX2, and ADX2FD. It is offered in the A, B, and C bands and ships with the four-channel receiver, locking power and jumper cables, a rack-mount kit, and a user guide.
