Plus-size upgrade for Shure wireless
as the system can detect RF issues and seamlessly switch to a clean frequency without interrupting audio. AES-256 encryption ensures secure transmission, while newly integrated digital feedback reduction (DFR) helps maintain clear, intelligible sound in unpredictable acoustic spaces. For mobile crews, SLX-D+ adds Bluetooth connectivity for the first time in the range, enabling on-the- go monitoring and control via the Wireless Workbench Mobile app. Users can check battery status, manage gain, scan frequencies and adjust settings remotely. Backwards compatibility with existing SLX-D components, along with new dual receivers, make SLX-D+ a scalable upgrade path. Prices have not yet been confirmed. shure.com
Shure has upgraded its SLX-D wireless mic range with the SLX-D+ system, bringing more flexibility and remote control in demanding environments. The new SLX-D+ system has wide tuning across all components, with up to 138MHz of bandwidth. This means faster deployment, easier frequency coordination on location and less need to carry multiple systems when travelling to new regions. A key upgrade is the Showlink Ease, adapted from Shure’s flagship Axient Digital systems. Once paired, transmitters reconnect to receivers every time they power on, allowing remote RF set-up and parameter changes. For busy sets or ENG work, this removes the need to access talent to adjust settings mid-shoot. The automatic interference management increases reliability
EYE SEE YOU WITH NEW VOXBOX PRO
The Voxbox Pro MK3 is the latest evolution of Primelight Design’s down- the-lens interview system, designed for documentary shooters who want genuine eye contact. Direct-to-camera eyeline is one of the most effective ways to build intimacy on screen, and the Voxbox Pro MK3 delivers that connection using pure optics rather than software or displays. A precision beamsplitter and mirror system allows contributors to look straight into the lens while seeing the interviewer’s face reflected in the glass, creating natural performances that feel conversational. The newest version supports wider lenses down to 28mm, so it is easier to include more environmental context without sacrificing eye contact. A redesigned housing boosts rigging clearance on popular cinema cameras such as the Sony FX6 and an integrated dual-size filter tray allows ND, diffusion or creative filters to be placed directly at the lens plane. The Voxbox Pro MK3 mounts tool- free to standard 15mm rails or a light stand, and can be converted into a teleprompter using the included holder. Made from carbon-infused polymer,
it costs £1499/$1949. primelightdesign.com
