Shure has several networked pieces of software that link to the ADX5D, such as Wireless Workbench and the Shure Plus Channels app. How important was it for the ADX5D to fully integrate with the Shure Axient ecosystem and not have to drop these features that users have come to rely upon with your rack-mounted receivers? Our customers rely on Wireless Workbench as their frequency coordination application for the most challenging tasks. In any frequency coordination, it is very important to know all the wireless being used in the location. For this reason, Wireless Workbench coordinates frequencies not only for Shure products but also for the most popular devices used in many applications. We have implemented "Network Mode" on ADX5D for users who want to have access to an existing network of Axient gear and use Wireless Workbench to get frequencies direct from the coordination deployment. Depending on the application, the frequencies are also updated on the ADX transmitters linked to the receiver channels. Shure's reputation carries with it a legacy of quality and durability going back decades. Being a portable receiver that would be taken out and used in the rigors of the field, what design steps were taken to make sure that this receiver was capable of being used in harsh conditions? At Shure, we are very proud of our reputation for quality and reliability, and we take that commitment very seriously in every product we make. With ADX5D, it was not different. We have applied all the extensive mechanical, electronical, and environmental quality tests we used for the whole portfolio, and we have also designed specific tests, based on the environmental conditions and applications this product will be subjected to in its "real life" use. Can we expect more products in the Axient line? Where does the Axient system go from here? We are always in contact with our customers and actively seek feedback to improve existing products and develop ideas to implement in new ones. Our engineers are constantly testing new concepts and our wireless roadmap has a very solid future. Shure is a large company. Who gets to disply the award on their desk?
