Wireless microphones are a staple for presentations, seminars, and training sessions in all kinds of settings.  Government agencies, military facilities, and corporate users, however, have high standards for confidential communication, and are especially concerned about the security of wireless audio.

The ULXD-GV system includes encryption that is always on and cannot be disabled

The Shure ULXD-GV digital wireless system is designed specifically for these applications, providing always-on AES-256 encryption to help secure confidential wireless audio communications.  

What Is ULXD-GV? 

The Shure ULXD-GV digital wireless system is a secure wireless audio solution designed for government, military, and corporate environments where confidential communications are critical.

Built on the proven ULX-D® platform, ULXD-GV supports a wide range of transmitter options, including handheld, bodypack, boundary, and gooseneck models. The system is designed for meetings, conferences, training sessions, and other applications where secure wireless audio is required.

Why Always-On Encryption Matters

While all ULX-D systems allow encryption to be selected by the installer or user, the ULXD-GV system includes encryption that is always on and cannot be disabled, either inadvertently or deliberately.  

This approach helps ensure that sensitive conversations remain protected while maintaining the wireless audio performance, flexibility, and reliability expected from the ULX-D platform. 

Enhanced Security
The AES-256 encryption specification is widely recognized by global security agencies and was established by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology in 2001. It utilizes a randomized encryption key that is not transmitted via RF.

With encryption enabled at all times, audio can only be exchanged between the paired transmitter and receiver. Even another ULXD receiver operating on the same frequency cannot receive the encrypted audio. 

Key Features of the ULXD-GV Wireless System

In addition to always-on encryption, ULXD-GV offers a variety of features designed to support secure and flexible wireless audio deployments. 

Extensive Hardware Options
The ULXD wireless system includes boundary, gooseneck, handheld, and bodypack transmitters, accommodating the full range of situations requiring tabletop, handheld, lavalier, or headworn microphones.  

Dual-channel and quad-channel rackmount receivers include both analog outputs and Dante™ digital audio network connections, providing flexibility for a wide variety of installation and signal-routing requirements. 

Convenient Rechargeability 
The ULXD system features optional charging stations that enable convenient drop-in recharging, so transmitters are always ready when needed.  The charge status of transmitters can also be monitored remotely by a technician.  

Rechargeable lithium-Ion batteries last for thousands of cycles, providing a greener alternative to disposable alkaline AA batteries.
