Shure SLX-D vs QLX-D wireless system

Question

How does the Shure SLX-D wireless system compare to the QLX-D system?

Answer

Both the Shure SLX-D and QLX-D wireless systems offer digital transmission with exceptionally clear audio, low noise, and >120 dB dynamic range, so they sound virtually identical. There are some feature and performance differences which are not significant to the houses of worship, schools, and small theaters that SLX-D is designed for.

The QLX-D system offers wider tuning bandwidth (64 MHz vs 44 MHz), and can operate more systems in one 6 MHz TV channel (17 vs 10).
The Shure QLX-D system is available in the UHF, VHF, 900 MHz, and (in some countries) the 1.5 GHz band; the SLX-D system is available in the UHF band only, which provides more than enough options for most users.
The SLX-D system offers both the SLXD4 single-channel receiver and the SLXD4D dual-channel receiver; the QLXD4 receiver is a single-channel half-rack unit.
The latency of the QLX-D system is 2.9 msec; SLX-D is 3.2 msec.
The QLXD4 receiver is compatible with the ULXD6 boundary transmitter and ULXD8 gooseneck transmitter for use in meeting rooms.
The QLX-D system offers encryption and network control via Ethernet, which the SLX-D system does not.
Shure QLX-D can be used with Wireless Workbench software and SystemOn software or the ShurePlus Channels app for remote monitoring and control. SLX-D can be used with Wireless Workbench softwar or the ShurePlus Channels app.
