System Overview GLX-D delivers superior digital audio in a compact, easy to use wireless system. More audio channels are placed on-air by taking advantage of the globally available 2.4 GHz spectrum. The compact low-profile design easily fits into pedalboard configurations. Built-in chromatic tuner simplifies setups while offering flexible tuning options. Advanced frequency hopping technology detects interference and automatically switches to a clear backup channel to prevent audio dropouts.

Batteries and Charging GLX-D transmitters are powered by Shure SB902 lithium-ion rechargeable batteries. Advanced battery chemistry maximizes runtimes with zero memory effects, eliminating the need to discharge batteries prior to charging. When not in use, recommended battery storage temperature is 10°C (50°F) to 25°C (77°F). Note: The transmitter will not pass RF or audio signals when connected to the charging cable.
Multiple Receiver Systems If several channels of wireless audio are needed, up to 8 GLX-D receivers can operate simultaneously in the 2.4 GHz spectrum. For ease of set up, available frequencies are divided into three groups based on the number of receivers supported. All receivers in the system must be set to the same group. To select a group, determine the total number of receivers in the system (channel count), and then select the appropriate group.
2.4 GHz Spectrum Overview GLX-D operates within the 2.4GHz ISM band which is utilized by for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and other wireless. The benefit of 2.4GHz is that it’s one global band that can be used anywhere in the world, license free. Overcoming the Challenges of 2.4GHz Coexisting with Wi-Fi The challenge of 2.4GHz is that Wi-Fi traffic can be unpredictable.
