GLXD4 Wireless Receivers Shure Incorporated For ease of set up, frequencies are divided into groups to best match the channel requirements for your system. 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. Setting Up Receivers and Transmitters Note: Before beginning, turn off all receivers and transmitters. Turn on and set up each receiver/transmitter pair individually to prevent cross-linking. 1.

GLXD4 Wireless Receivers Shure Incorporated Challenging Wireless Environments 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 the transmitter to receiver distance such as placing the receivers on the stage with a clear line of sight.
