Shure Q5X PlayerMic Short — Flexible Rubber Bodypack Transmitter
Q5X PlayerMic Short Overview
The Q5X PlayerMic Short is a flexible, rubber bodypack transmitter originally developed in partnership with the NBA as the world’s first bodypack of its kind, purpose-built for professional sports and entertainment environments. Its bendable, rubber construction allows it to conform to the body for extreme concealability in applications where rigid transmitters are impractical or impossible to place. When integrated with Shure Axient Digital wireless receivers, the PlayerMic Short delivers superior digital transmission with advanced encryption and spectrum efficiency. It is the professional choice for broadcast engineers, production teams, sports leagues, and live entertainment operators requiring reliable RF performance in demanding physical environments.
Available in both Regular and Short versions, the PlayerMic Short is optimized for situations requiring a reduced footprint while maintaining the same rugged, nearly indestructible build quality as the standard model.
