Shure GLXD124R+ Dual-Band Wireless Combo Rack System (Z3: 2.4, 5.8 GHz).
The Shure GLXD124R+ is a digital wireless system with both a handheld microphone/transmitter and a lavalier mic with a bodypack transmitter that offers reliability and outstanding sound quality in a package that's simple to use, even if you've never operated a wireless system before. Shure's next-generation technology handles the set up for you, automatically scanning both the 2.4 and 5.8 GHz frequency ranges to seek out the best possible digital transmission channel to ensure dependable performance for your performances, presentations, conferences, and events at a typical range of up to 100' indoors and 65' outside.
This version of the GLXD124R+ is configured with a handheld transmitter equipped with the legendary SM58 microphone. Relied on by live engineers and singers worldwide, the rugged mic's dynamic capsule is pneumatically shockmounted to resist handling noise, while the cardioid polar pattern focuses audio capture on the vocalist, helping to reduce feedback issues when sound reinforcement equipment is used. Built into the SM58 is a pop filter, which helps control wind and breath noise without requiring an external pop screen. A steel-mesh grille protects wear, abuse, and the challenging conditions of live events.
Also included in the this set is a bodypack transmitter and a WL185 cardioid lavalier microphone. Optimized for speech, the lav mic delivers natural vocal reproduction for presenters, performers, clergy, and lecturers working on stage and in the studio. The mic's cardioid pickup pattern helps to focus audio capture tightly on the subject, helping to pick up less surrounding sound and reducing feedback issues when sound reinforcement equipment is used; a windscreen is provided. Please note that while this system includes two transmitters, only one can be used at a time.
This configuration includes a metal, single-channel, half-rack receiver with front-panel charging for the SB904 battery and an easy-to-read display that shows pertinent information. The system transmits audio with a flat, 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response and 120 dB of dynamic range, leaving the sound of your mic unaffected by the wireless components. The transmitter's input gain can be wirelessly adjusted right from the receiver's front panel to optimize the audio signal. The rear panel provides a balanced XLR output switchable between mic and line levels along with a balanced 1/4" Inst/Aux output.
Dual-Band Technology for Easy and Reliable Wireless Performance
-
GLX-D+ Dual-Band Digital Wireless systems operate in both the 2.4 and 5.8 GHz frequency ranges, automatically scanning both to select the one that offers the higher number of clean channels.
-
The previous GLX-D only worked in the 2.4 GHz range, which offers 83.5 MHz of bandwidth. By expanding into the 5.8 GHz range, the GLX-D+ provides an additional 125 MHz worth of potential open frequencies for available channels, helping to minimize dropouts and enhance reliability.
-
The system offers true digital diversity, which means two antennas and two independent receiver modules work together to reduce RF signal dropouts.
-
In addition, the GLX-D+ transmits on its own main frequency just like a traditional system, but it also transmits on 2 extra "backup frequencies” at the same time. If the system detects interference on the main frequency, it will switch to one of the backups automatically without the user even knowing.
-
Besides the additional spectrum, there are other benefits to in operating in the 5.8 GHz range. In general, there are fewer devices operating in this range, making the spectrum cleaner. The 2.4 GHz range is home for Bluetooth devices and other devices, including Wi-Fi routers and repeaters, security cameras, baby monitors, garage door openers, and more. Operating in this range means competing with these devices for the same space.
