Description

The Shure UR4D Wireless Receiver is the powerhouse your live performances have been waiting for. Engineered for demanding gigs, this dual-channel receiver ensures you stay connected with unmatched clarity and reliability. Boasting 2,400 selectable frequencies across a robust 60MHz bandwidth, the UR4D can handle up to 40 compatible systems per band, ensuring flexibility in even the most crowded RF environments.

What sets the UR4D apart is its Track Tuning filtering technology, which intelligently shifts the RF filter to match the selected frequency. This maximizes signal isolation and minimizes interference, giving you the peace of mind to focus on your performance. The receiver pairs seamlessly with a variety of Shure's legendary mic capsules, from the Beta87C to the SM58, ensuring pristine sound quality.

Equipped with Shure's Wireless Workbench software, the UR4D offers advanced control and monitoring capabilities. Whether you're managing a single setup or a complex multi-system configuration, the software's intuitive interface simplifies the process with features like automatic frequency selection and infrared transmitter sync.

The UR4D is not just about connectivity—it's about delivering superior audio. Shure's renowned Audio Reference Companding technology provides a dynamic range that's clear and free of wireless artifacts. From small venues to large-scale productions, the UR4D is your steadfast partner in sound.

Reviews

Owner Insights

We analyzed real musician discussions from forums and Reddit to find what players love, question, and tweak about Shure UR4D Wireless Receiver.

Comparisons

  • UHF-R is noted to outperform ULX-D/QLX-D in RF performance, though it lacks Dante capability, making it a strong option unless Dante is essential.

    Source

Features and functionality

  • The UHF-R system is still widely accepted by artists for performances, indicating robust and reliable performance even without digital features.

    Source
  • UHF-R systems use Audio Reference Companding, which differs from other brands and generations, affecting transmitter-receiver compatibility.

    Source

Use cases and applications

  • UHF-R systems are praised for their effectiveness in less RF-dense environments, making them suitable for many live performance contexts.

    Source
  • It's possible to find UR2 handhelds second-hand, but they tend to be expensive given their age and original top-tier status.

    Source
  • Users must consider their network topography when connecting UR4D systems, affecting overall system performance and connectivity.

    Source

User experience

  • Owners mention that UHF-R systems remain a viable choice if available at a reasonable price, especially when immediate wireless solutions are needed.

    Source
  • Owners face challenges with backwards compatibility, as Shure's flagship wireless systems typically have a 10-year lifespan before spectrum and technology changes necessitate upgrades.

    Source

Software and compatibility

  • Analog ULX transmitters can work with UHF-R receivers, but manual tuning is required due to non-compatible IR sync and potential compromises in performance.

    Source
  • Analog Sennheiser handhelds are not compatible with UR4D due to differing companding systems, making integration infeasible without noticeable audio issues.

    Source
  • UR4D+ successfully connects to Wireless Workbench, while the UR4D may not, indicating potential compatibility issues with certain software versions.

    Source
  • Wireless Workbench 7 no longer supports UHF-R; users need to use WWB6, but can't run both versions simultaneously on the same computer.

    Source

Value and pricing

  • UR2 handhelds are notably costly on the secondary market, making selling existing systems for newer models a more appealing option for some users.

    Source

Setup and maintenance

  • Setting network to DHCP and rebooting all units is suggested for resolving connection issues with Wireless Workbench.

UHF-R systems on the tour use UR4D receivers for both lead vocalist Gary LeVox's UR2/SM58 handheld transmitter and Joe Don Rooney and Jay DeMarcus' wireless guitars. With Rooney and DeMarcus both noting that "The new UR4D has given back what we've been missing in our tone," monitor engineer Stuart Delk unabashedly admits that "UR4D wireless technology excels above all others. The self-scan and sync features, combined with higher output levels and audio quality, can only be matched by using a cable. These qualities alone say a lot about why Shure is in this show." "The sound going into the beltpacks is exactly what we get back out," FOH engineer Jon Garber says, getting his own two cents worth in on the guitar wireless systems. "It's like the same energy we get out of the guitar cabinets."
