The GLX-D Frequency Manager distributes RF signal and DC power for Shure GLXD4R receivers. The rack-mountable system increases channel count and reduces the number of required antennas and power supplies. When connected to the GLX-D Frequency Manager, GLXD4R receivers operate in the most spectrally efficient manner.

The GLX-D Frequency Manager creates a shared group of frequencies for all receivers to use and automatically assigns frequencies to each receiver. If interference occurs, the frequency manager assigns new frequencies without audible dropouts.
Using a shared group of frequencies for all receivers prevents one receiver from using all of the best frequencies, which can happen if you set up multiple GLXD4R receivers without the frequency manager. Sharing a larger group of frequencies also improves RF reliability for receivers.
Group | Channel Count (Number of Receivers) | Latency | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
A | 6 typical, 9 maximum | 4 ms | |
B | 9 typical, 11 maximum | 7.3 ms | Best group if you experience interference. |
Tip: Turn on and link one transmitter and receiver pair at a time to prevent transmitters from linking to the wrong receiver.
If using more than six receivers, use the cascade A and cascade B ports to connect two GLX-D Frequency Managers. Frequency managers can be cascaded once for a maximum of 11 receivers.
Note: Do not use a passive antenna splitter with the frequency manager. Frequency manager features will not work.
Follow these guidelines when mounting antennas remotely:
When connected to a frequency manager, each receiver's channel field displays a unique identifier that won't change unless you plug in to a different set of ports on the frequency manager. Use this channel display to help label transmitters or to identify where each receiver is plugged in on the frequency manager.
Frequency Manager | Frequency Manager Port Number | Receiver Channel Display |
---|---|---|
Frequency manager #1 | 1 | 1 |
2 | 2 | |
3 | 3 | |
4 | 4 | |
5 | 5 | |
6 (cascade)* | 6* | |
Frequency manager #2 | 1 | 6 |
2 | 7 | |
3 | 8 | |
4 | 9 | |
5 | A | |
6 (cascade) | B |
*If using two frequency managers, this cascade port connects to the second frequency manager, so there is no receiver channel display.
GLXD4 and GLXD6 receivers cannot connect to the GLX-D Frequency Manager.
If you plan to use a GLXD4 or GLXD6 receiver in addition to a frequency manager, set up the GLXD4/GLXD6 receiver first. Then turn on and set up the frequency manager.
Note: Using GLXD4/GLXD6 receivers alongside a frequency manager will affect the maximum number of channels you can operate with each group.
