Shure Axient Digital Training - Receiver Back Panel

In this video, we’ll take a tour of the back panel of the Axient Digital receivers. We’ll show the panel for a quad receiver, which shares most of the features of the dual receiver.

Let’s start with the AC power port, which features a locking connector, to protect against accidental disconnection. A power cascade port lets you connect additional receivers, while keeping cabling to a minimum. For mobile applications, an optional DC power module is available through Shure service. The module switches seamlessly from AC to DC if a power failure occurs.

Four network ports are available to support a variety of network topologies. From the factory, the receiver is set to Split/Redundant mode. This mode keeps Dante audio and Shure control on separate networks, while allowing you to take advantage of Dante redundancy. In Switched mode, the receiver acts as a 4-port network switch, routing Shure control and Dante audio to all ports.

Power over Ethernet is available on the control ports to connect ShowLink access points or other PoE enabled devices.

Audio output is delivered to transformer-balanced XLR and ¼” connectors. The XLR outputs are mic/line switchable, and also feature a ground lift switch. For convenience, switch status can be viewed at any time in the Audio channel menu.

Setting the AES3 switch routes digital audio to ports 3 and 4 of the quad receiver. On the dual receiver, the AES signals are delivered to a dedicated port. Sample rates can be configured in the Device Configuration menu.

Word Clock ports are available if you use a master clock to sync your system. Use the 75 ohm switch to properly terminate the clock signal.

Two BNC connectors for RF input support true diversity to guard against signal loss and dropouts. RF cascade ports allow you to share the antenna signal with an additional receiver. Each input offers bias voltage to power active antennas. The LED indicates that bias is on.

The Quad receiver features Quadversity, which improves RF performance by configuring all ports as antenna inputs. Using 4 antennas to feed a single channel provides additional coverage options in larger venues and minimizes “dead zones” in challenging RF environments. When set to Quadversity, the receiver becomes a two-channel device.
