Product Description
Shure GLXD6+=-Z3 Dual-Band Wireless Guitar Pedal Receiver (Z3: 2.4, 5.8 GHz)
Overview
art of the Shure GLX-D+ system and available as an individual component to be used as an additional or backup receiver, or as a replacement unit, the GLXD6+ is a single-channel digital wireless audio receiver compatible with the GLXD1+ bodypack transmitter (available separately). The unit is housed in a rugged metal pedalboard-ready chassis with two fixed faceplate antennas, and it features a built-in tuner with an easy-to-see display.
Shure's next-generation technology automatically scans both the 2.4 and 5.8 GHz frequency ranges to seek out the best possible digital transmission channel for your performances at a typical operating distance of up to 100' indoors and 65' outside. 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 instrument unaffected by the wireless components.
A multi-segment LED clearly shows remaining battery life from the paired transmitter and also functions as an easy-to-read tuner. The transmitter's input gain can be wirelessly adjusted right from the receiver's front panel to optimize the audio signal. In addition to a 1/4" instrument output, the unit also features a 1/4" input, allowing you to use it as a wired tuner. A power supply is provided and the DC power input is compatible with standard positive- or negative-tip power supplies, allowing the GLXD6+ to slot right into your pedalboard. Note that even when the unit is plugged in, the display will not activate until a cable is connected to either the 1/4" output or input. A durable footswitch provides instant muting in both the receiver and tuner modes.
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.
- GLX-D+ receivers typically allow you to run up to 4 transmitters simultaneously in the same space. Under ideal conditions, up to 8 systems can be used.
- If you need more transmitters at once, consider the GLXDR+ half-rack receiver, which offers removable antennas and can accommodate the GLXD+FMZ3/LC Frequency Manager (available separately). The frequency manager allows up to 11 transmitters to operate simultaneously (16 under highly optimal conditions) making it ideal for installations with multiple wireless systems.
