Proper care and storage of Shure batteries results in reliable performance and ensures a long lifetime.
GLX-D operates within the 2.4GHz ISM band which is utilized by Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and other wireless devices. The benefit of 2.4GHz is that it’s a global band that can be used anywhere in the world, license free.
The challenge of 2.4 GHz is that Wi-Fi traffic can be unpredictable. GLX-D meets these challenges in the following ways:
If you plan to use Wi-Fi during a performance, turn on Wi-Fi devices prior to turning on GLX-D and scanning for the best channel. GLX-D detects and avoids other Wi-Fi traffic by scanning the entire 2.4 GHz environment and selecting the three best frequencies to transmit on. This method avoids Wi-Fi signals and results in reliable performance for your GLX-D wireless system.
“Bursting” Wi-Fi is harder to detect as it is periodic; however, because GLX-D only repeats the most important information, even bursts at very high levels don’t have an effect on your audio performance.
Some environments are more difficult than others for 2.4 GHz wireless system performance. Additionally, body absorption has a greater impact in the 2.4 GHz spectrum compared to the UHF spectrum. The simplest solution in many cases is to reduce transmitter-to-receiver distance by placing receivers on the stage with a clear line of sight. You can also mount antennas remotely using Shure directional antennas to reduce transmitter-to-antenna distance.
Challenging environments include:
Note: Unlike analog TV band wireless system which typically use the same type of transmissions across manufacturers, all 2.4 GHz wireless currently on the market use different variations of wireless transmission. These differences make it more difficult to mix and match 2.4 GHz systems from multiple manufacturers, as can be done with TV band wireless solutions.
If you encounter interference or dropouts, try the following suggestions:
Note: If transmitters are within 6 inches of non-GLX-D transmitters or microphone cartridges, audible noise is possible.
Follow these guidelines when mounting antennas remotely:
To run more than two receivers at the same time, the GLX-D Frequency Manager is recommended to improve RF reliability.
However, you can run multiple receivers without the frequency manager. Select the group by determining the total number of receivers in your system (channel count). All receivers in the system must be set to the same group.
| Group | Channel Count (Number of Receivers) | Number of Backup Frequencies Per Channel | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Up to 4 | 3 | Initial factory setting. |
| 2 | Up to 5* | 3 | Best multi-channel group if you experience interference. |
| 3 | Up to 8* | 0 | Only use Group 3 in controlled Wi-Fi environments because there are no backup frequencies to avoid interference. |
| 4 | 1 | 27 | Best single-channel group if you experience interference. |
*Environmentally dependent, 4 systems typical
See "Tips to Improve Wireless System Performance" section for additional information. For information about receiver groups when connected to the GLX-D Frequency Manager, see the UA846 user guide.
Note: Before beginning, turn off all receivers and transmitters. Turn on and set up each receiver/transmitter pair individually to prevent cross-linking.
Repeat steps 1-3 for each additional receiver and transmitter. Remember to set each receiver to the same group.
See GLX-D Frequency Manager guide for setting up receivers and transmitters when connected to the frequency manager.
Note: Dashes appearing on the group and channel display during a channel scan indicate that frequencies are not available in the selected group. Choose a group that supports more receivers and repeat set-up steps.
Use the manual linking option to change the transmitter linked to a receiver. A common use for manual linking is changing the linked transmitter from a bodypack type to a handheld type.
A combo system is created by linking two transmitters to a single receiver. Only one transmitter can be active at a time to prevent cross interference. Gain settings for each transmitter can be independently set and stored when the transmitter is active.
Important! Do not turn on and operate both linked transmitters at any time.
Turn off both transmitters before beginning.
Note: A transmitter can only link to one GLX-D receiver at a time.
Use the gain buttons on the receiver to increase or decrease the gain of a linked transmitter:
Tip: Monitor the audio and observe the receiver audio meter level while adjusting the gain to prevent signal overload.
The controls of the receiver and transmitter can be locked to prevent accidental or unauthorized changes to settings.
Note: Locks are not affected by power cycles.
Simultaneously press and hold the group and channel buttons until LK appears on the LCD. Repeat to unlock.
Starting with the transmitter set to off, press and hold the LINK button while turning on the transmitter. Continue to hold the link button until the lock icon appears on the receiver LCD. Repeat sequence to unlock.
Optionally, the transmitter power switch can be remotely locked from the receiver front panel:
Simultaneously press and hold the group and link buttons for approximately 2 seconds until the flashing lock icon appears on the receiver LCD. Repeat sequence to unlock.
Use the Remote ID feature to identify linked transmitter and receiver pairs in multiple receiver systems. When Remote ID is active, the receiver LCD will blink and display ID. The status LED of the corresponding transmitter will alternately flash red and green for approximately 45 seconds.
To activate Remote ID:
Specific groups and channels can be assigned to the receiver instead of using the automatic scan function.
Note: Group 3 should only be used in controlled Wi-Fi environments to prevent interference from unexpected Wi-Fi devices.
Note: A double dash symbol-- displayed on the receiver screen during a channel scan indicates that there are no available channels within the selected group. Choose a group with more channels and repeat set up steps.
Firmware is embedded software in each component that controls functionality. Periodically, new versions of firmware are developed to incorporate additional features and enhancements. To take advantage of design improvements, new versions of the firmware can be downloaded and installed using the Shure Update Utility tool.
Software is available for download from http://www.shure.com/update-utility.
Connect the device to your computer using the USB to Micro USB cable supplied with your GLX-D system.
