One of the major advantages of the slot-in receiver form factor is that they can be configured for multiple applications, including insertion into a camera or multi-coupler device, or for standalone use where power is provided by a battery distribution system (BDS) or battery sled. The rear panels manage power input, audio output, and data transfer between mating devices (e.g. cameras, multi-couplers, etc.). The spacer plates facilitate mounting in cameras, SuperSlot™ and UniSlot® multi-couplers, and audio bag organizer plates, as each of these devices have different dimensions and clearances for slot-in receivers.
Align the captive Phillips screws with the threaded holes on the back of the ADX5D receiver and slide the backplate into place. Tighten screws to ensure a solid connection.
TIP: Backplates only align one way. You don't need to force it into place.
The TA3 Backplate for ADX5D is designed to accommodate power input from an external source, audio output for the receiver, and optional interfacing with compatible battery sleds. The panel includes a 4-pin connector for mating with the battery sled, two TA3 (mini 3-pin XLR) audio output connectors, a 4-pin locking Hirose power input connector, and captive Phillips-head screws to mount/unmount the rear panel.
When connected, output 1 can be configured for analog or AES3 output in the device menu. Analog output 2 is disabled when AES3 is selected.
Since the receiver doesn't need to mate with an external device while being used with the standalone rear panel, a spacer plate is not required or included with the rear panel.
Connectors are (from left to right): 4-pin battery sled power input, TA3 audio outputs 1 and 2, and Hirose 4-pin power input.
Connect a compatible 6-18V power supply to the power input. When multiple power sources are connected, the device will draw power from the Hirose connector, with the battery sled serving as backup. This allows for seamless switching between power supply and battery operations.
CAUTION: Always attach backplate to receiver before connecting power supply.
Note: The power supply does not charge rechargeable batteries.
ADX5BS-L and ADX5BS-AA battery sleds must be used with the ADX5BP-TA3 standalone rear panel, as this panel includes the 4-pin connector required for the two components to mate and pass power. The battery sled is then secured to the receiver using two screws on the rear of the sled, which ensures that the sled cannot fall off or be removed, and two screws from the front panel to stabilize the sled while on the receiver.
The ADX5D can be powered by a single L-type battery; when two batteries are installed, one can be replaced without interrupting operation. Battery runtime changes depending on the number, type, and capacity of the batteries used.
Insert the battery so that the contact points on the front face connect with the contacts at the rear of the battery sled bay until the latch moves into place. To remove the battery, push the latch down and pull the battery back and up.
The ADX5D can be powered by 6 AA batteries. Ensure all batteries are properly inserted as shown before powering on the device. Always power off the device fully before removing batteries.
| Battery Type | Runtime |
|---|---|
| Alkaline | >1:30 |
| NiMH | >4:00 |
| Li Primary | >6:00 |
Note: Different operating and storage conditions can shorten or lengthen battery life.
DB15 backplates are available for devices with 15-pin connectors, such as Sony video cameras. If only one audio channel is available, the 3.5mm connector on the bottom of the front plate can be used to output audio from channel 1, channel 2, channel 1+2 stereo, or channel 1+2 summed mono.
Note: See Country-Specific Functionality Restrictions.
The DB15 rear panel kit for ADX5D includes:
Attach the backplate and slot the ADX5D receiver into a compatible DB15 video camera. If needed, attach the included spacer plate to provide a proper fit.
DB25 rear panels utilize a 25-pin D-Sub connector to transmit audio, video, data, and power. This connector type is commonly used on devices that require multiple interfacing paths in a small form factor, including SuperSlot™/UniSlot® devices.
Note: See Country-Specific Functionality Restrictions.
The DB25 rear panel kit for ADX5D includes:
Attach the backplate and slot the ADX5D receiver into compatible DB25 equipment, such as a video camera or multi-coupler. If needed, attach the included spacer plate to provide a proper fit.
Perform group and channel scans to find the best frequencies for your devices.
To minimize interference, Shure wireless systems organize RF bands into predefined groups and channels. An individual frequency is a channel. Channels that are unlikely to interfere with each other are compiled into groups.
Note: Because groups are band-dependent, some systems only have one available group. Single-group bands have the same RF performance as those with multiple groups.
Important: Before you begin:
Turn off all transmitters for the systems you are setting up (this prevents them from interfering with the frequency scan).
Turn on potential sources of interference (other wireless systems or devices, computers, large LED panels, effects processors, and so on) so they are operating as they would be during the presentation or performance. The scan will detect and avoid any interference they generate.
Perform a group scan to find the group with the most available frequencies. Available frequencies can be automatically deployed to receiver channels and other networked components.
Perform a channel scan to find available frequencies within a group.
Scan the full RF spectrum for potential sources of interference, from the receiver or from connected control software. Use the control buttons to move the cursor across the spectrum and view frequency and level information.
Use IR Sync to form an audio channel between the transmitter and receiver.
Note: The receiver band must match the band of the transmitter.
Note:
Any change to the encryption status on the receiver such as enabling/ disabling encryption or requesting a new encryption key, requires a sync to send the settings to the transmitter.

To update the ShowLink® mode, go to . ADX5D ShowLink® modes:
| Mode | Reasons for use | Needed equipment | Example use case |
|---|---|---|---|
| Direct mode | To establish a connection between a single ADX5D and one or more transmitters |
|
Crew has a small setup with a few ADX transmitters and no need to use Wireless Workbench or connect to a larger network. |
| Network mode | To connect ADX5D to an existing network, control the receiver and any linked devices with software (such as Wireless Workbench), and perform frequency mitigation or coordination for any linked devices |
|
Studio or filming site with a mix of carts and racks of other gear and computers or tablets running control software. |
| Off mode | You don't need to connect to Wireless Workbench or a larger network and want to extend battery life by turning off non-essential power consuming features or avoid using the 2.4 GHz spectrum |
|
Crew has transmitters that aren't ShowLink® enabled. Users are transmitting audio but not connecting to a larger network or remotely modifying parameters. |
Operate your ADX5D in direct mode to remotely control parameters of registered ADX transmitters without connecting to a larger installation or using control software. When ADX5D is in direct mode, you can control up to 16 Axient® Digital ADX-series transmitters (8 per channel) from a single ADX5D receiver.
Note: An ADX5D in direct mode has no connection to any control applications (e.g. Wireless Workbench or Channels) or devices other than transmitters (e.g. Axient® Digital receivers or AD610 access points).
When your device is in direct mode, the ShowLink® radio will scan the 2.4 GHz spectrum and pick the best channel to operate on. The device will use this channel until the next boot time. You can update your settings to choose a specific channel instead by going to , selecting Manual, and entering the ShowLink® channel you want the device to operate on.
If your receiver is in automatic channel selection mode, you can set a ShowLink® channel mask to dictate channels to use or avoid. Go to to select "Use" or "Avoid" for each individual ShowLink® channel.
Use network mode to connect the ADX5D to an existing Shure network and take advantage of the full features of an Axient® Digital receiver, including interference management and frequency coordination via control software such as Wireless Workbench. In network mode, your ShowLink® communications are routed through an AD610 access point, which increases device capacity and ShowLink® range as well as enabling features that depend on connection to a larger network.
Note: The ADX5D is compatible with the AD610 ShowLink® access point.
To use the ADX5D in network mode, you must connect an AD610 ShowLink® access point to your network and set a network host ID, which grants access to ADX5Ds with a matching client ID. You can control up to 24 Axient® Digital devices with each AD610.
Note: Update your AD610 to the latest firmware and download the latest version of Wireless Workbench before connecting your ADX5D to the network.
Use the following steps to set up an AD610 ShowLink® access point and choose a network host ID:
Repeat this process for any other AD610s you have on the network that you want to act as a gateway for an ADX5D.
An ADX5D in network mode uses a client ID to join networks with an AD610 that has a matching host ID. Once you have an AD610 on your network and a network host ID chosen, set your ADX5D to network mode and set the client ID to match the host ID.
Note: You must be using network mode in order to control this device with Wireless Workbench.
To turn on network mode and set the client ID:
If the ADX5D is already operating in network mode, go to and choose the client ID that matches the AD610. The ADX5D reboots to apply the new setting.
Perform a ShowLink® test to find the boundaries of the ShowLink® coverage area between linked devices. When a ShowLink® test is activated, a five-bar display indicating the link quality is shown on the screen. As the devices are moved apart, the number of bars will decrease. ShowLink® control is maintained as long as 1 bar is displayed.
If the device is beyond the coverage range, ShowLink® control is not possible. However, the audio signal will not be affected or interrupted as long as the receiver is within range of the RF signal.
To improve coverage, adjust the location of your devices or place additional access points to extend coverage.
Tip: During a ShowLink® test, press O to drop a marker in Wireless Workbench.
Perform a ShowLink® test from the Tx Slots menu to plot the status of a linked transmitter's ShowLink® coverage. When your device is in direct mode, this function measures the coverage between your transmitter and the ADX5D; when your device is in network mode, this function measures the coverage between your transmitter and the AD610 it is associated with.
To test ShowLink® coverage between an ADX5D in network mode and an AD610 access point:
Each receiver channel contains 8 transmitter slots to control the RF signals passed by the receiver. Transmitters can be assigned to the channel slots or "registered" with the receiver.
For added protection from interference, the receiver will issue a warning or block signals from any transmitters that aren't registered.
To assign a transmitter to a receiver channel:
When the sync is complete, the transmitter will be assigned to the slot. The transmitter will remain assigned to the slot until it is unlinked. To remove a transmitter from a slot, use the arrow buttons to select the slot. Then, use the arrow buttons to select Unlink and press O.
Use party dial to quickly switch between active transmitters from a single menu. In party dial, 2 transmitters can be live at any time, and you can switch between channel IDs without having to confirm the change.
Party dial limits your available frequencies to those in a single group. Before entering party dial, you must select a group for your transmitters. You can perform a group scan or create a custom group to define frequencies for each transmitter.
To open party dial, go to . Note that entering party dial will set the following on your receiver:
These changes persist if you exit party dial.
Each device channel can receive audio from 1 transmitter at a time. Press the arrow keys to change the selected channel ID. Changes are applied immediately, and device information populates shortly thereafter. Press Enter to switch between receiver channel 1 and receiver channel 2.

For more specific readings, use the in-display audio monitor.
In party dial, you can quickly move between all available RF channels in a selected group. To limit that group to a specific set of channel IDs, you can pre-select frequencies for your transmitters and assign them to a custom group.
Note: Party dial does not necessarily have to employ custom groups. You can use pre-programmed groups, but be aware that there may be extra channel IDs in that pre-programmed group. If there are extra channel IDs in your group, you will have to scroll past them when in party dial to reach the channel IDs assigned to your transmitters.
Use the coordination tools in Wireless Workbench determine the best frequencies for your needs and assign those frequencies to a custom group.
You can also set custom groups using just the ADX5D receiver if you don't use or have access to Wireless Workbench.
Note: If party dial is engaged following a standard group/channel scan, all frequencies in the selected group will be included. Blue LEDs confirm audio is being received on the selected channel.
The receiver offers two transmission modes to efficiently manage the available spectrum used by the transmitters.
Standard Mode
Standard mode employs channel spacing that allows for the operation of transmitters at various power levels.
Standard mode is ideal for situations where spectrum is not limited or when you need to operate transmitters at higher power levels to increase range.
High Density Mode
High density mode creates additional bandwidth for more channels in crowded RF environments by transmitting at 2 mW RF power and narrowing the modulation bandwidth.
High density mode is ideal for applications where many channels are needed in a confined area, transmission distances are short, and the number of available frequencies is limited.
Note: Operation mode varies according to region.
Frequency diversity enables seamless, uninterrupted audio for mission-critical applications. Frequency diversity works by transmitting the audio on two independent frequencies from an ADX2FD handheld transmitter or from 2 AD/ADX series transmitters.
When operated in frequency diversity mode, the receiver uses two frequencies to provide a single channel of audio. If one frequency experiences interference, the audio from the other frequency is used to prevent dropouts or interruption of the audio.
Using frequency diversity in conjunction with interference detection provides an additional layer of protection for the audio signal.
| Setting | Description |

See Country-Specific Functionality Restrictions.
In the event of signal degradation, interference management technology provides options to move to a clean, compatible frequency, either manually or automatically.
Respond to an alert by manually selecting a new frequency, or allow the Spectrum Manager or Wireless Workbench to automatically deploy a backup frequency the instant interference is detected.
Tip: To dismiss a interference alert, select the affected channel, and then select Dismiss.
The detection mode determines how the receiver will switch to a clear frequency in the event of interference.
The unregistered transmitter setting determines how the receiver reacts to the presence of unregistered transmitters, which can be a potential source of interference. If a transmitter is not listed in the receiver's Tx Slots, then that transmitter is considered unregistered to the receiver channel.
From the Interf. Mgt menu, choose one of the following options:
The frequency server option allows you to assign a networked Spectrum Manager as a server for clear frequencies in the event of interference.
Choose a mode for your 3.5 mm. output depending on which equipment you use with the receiver.

Firmware is embedded software in each component that controls functionality. Installing the latest version of firmware updates the receiver to incorporate additional features and enhancements. New versions of the firmware can be uploaded and installed using the Shure Update Utility tool. Software is available for download from http://www.shure.com/firmware.
When you update receiver firmware, update your transmitters to the same firmware version to ensure consistent operation.
The firmware of all devices has the form of MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH (e.g., 1.2.14). At a minimum, all devices on the network (including transmitters) must have the same MAJOR and MINOR firmware version numbers (e.g., 1.2.x).
CAUTION! Ensure that receiver power and network connections are maintained during a firmware update. Do not turn off the receiver until the update is complete.
Important: Alignment must be maintained during the entire update cycle. Percentage of update progress appears on the receiver display.
