Shure Incorporated System Overview The new groundbreaking GLXD Wireless Systems from Shure combine the leading edge of Automatic Frequency Manage ment technology with best-in-class intelligent lithium-ion battery rechargeability, world-renowned microphones and unparalleled design and construction. Available in a wide offering of bodypack and handheld configurations - including vocal, headset and presenter systems as well as traditional guitar options.
Shure Incorporated Connect power supply to the receiver and plug cord into an AC power source. Connect the Step ① audio output to an amplifier or mixer. Install charged transmitter batteries.
Shure Incorporated Turn on the transmitter and receiver. The blue RF LED will flash while the transmitter and re ceiver form a link. When the link has successfully formed, the RF LED will remain illuminat Step ③ ed. Note: The transmitter and receiver will remain linked for future usage. At power-up, the blue RF LED will illuminate, skipping the linking step. Check the audio and adjust the gain if necessary.

Shure Incorporated ④ TA4M Input Jack Connects to a 4-Pin mini connector (TA4F) microphone or instrument cable. ⑤ Micro USB Charging Port Connect to USB battery charger. ⑥ Link Button ◦ Press and hold within 5 seconds of power-on to manually link with receiver ◦ Press momentarily to activate Remote ID function ⑦ Battery Compartment Holds 1 Shure rechargeable battery. ⑧ Microphone Cartridge GLXD-2 transmitter models are available with the following cartridge types: SM58, Beta 58, SM86, Beta 87A.
Shure Incorporated Color State Status Flashing (fast) unlinked transmitter searching for receiver Flashes 3 times indicates locked transmitter when power switch is pressed On battery life < 1 hour Flashing battery life < 30 minutes Red/Green Flashing remote ID active Amber Flashing battery error, replace battery Red Wearing the Bodypack Transmitter Clip the transmitter to a belt or slide a guitar strap through the transmitter clip as shown.
Shure Incorporated Correct Microphone Placement • Hold the microphone within 12 inches from the sound source. • For a warmer sound with increased bass presence, move the microphone closer to the sound source. • Do not cover grille with hand. 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.
Shure Incorporated Charging from an AC Power Source 1. Plug the charging cable into the charging port on the transmitter. 2. Plug the charging cable into an AC power source. Charging from a USB Port 1. Plug the USB charging cable into the charging port on the transmitter. 2. Plug the cable into a standard USB port.
Shure Incorporated LED Status During Charging The following LED states indicate battery status when the transmitter is connected to a charger: • • • • Green = charging complete Green Flashing = battery charge > 90% Red = battery charging Amber Flashing = battery error, replace battery Installing Transmitter Batteries Bodypack Transmitter 1. Move the locking lever to the open position and slide the battery door open. 2. Place the battery into the transmitter. 3.
Shure Incorporated Charging Times and Transmitter Runtimes Use the following table to determine approximate battery runtime based on the duration of charging time. Times shown are in hours and minutes. GLX-D transmitters automatically power-off after approximately 1 hour to conserve battery life if the signal from a linked receiver is not detected.
Shure Incorporated Multiple Receiver Systems 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. Group Channel Count (Number of Re ceivers) Number of Backup Frequencies Notes 1 Up to 4 3 Initial factory setting. 2 Up to 5* 3 Best multi-channel group if you experience interfer ence.
Shure Incorporated Manually Linking a Transmitter to a Receiver Use the manual linking option to change the transmitter linked to a receiver. A common use for manual linking is changing the linked transmitter from a bodypack type to a handheld type. 1. Turn on the transmitter: Within 5 seconds, press and hold the LINK button until the transmitter LED begins to flash green. 2. Press and hold the link button on the receiver: The blue rf LED will flash, and then remain on when the link has been established.
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.
Shure Incorporated 2.4 GHz Frequency Tables The following tables list receiver channels, frequencies, and latency for each group: Group 1: Channels 1-4 (latency = 4.0 ms) Group/Channel Frequencies 1/1 2424 2425 2442 2443 2462 2464 1/2 2418 2419 2448 2450 2469 2471 1/3 2411 2413 2430 2431 2476 2477 1/4 2405 2406 2436 2437 2455 2457 Group 2: Channels 1-5 (latency = 7.
Shure Incorporated Firmware Firmware is embedded software in each component that controls functionality. Periodically, new versions of firmware are devel oped to incorporate additional features and enhancements. To take advantage of design improvements, new versions of the firmware can be downloaded and installed using the Shure Update Utility tool. Software is available for download from http://www.shure.com/update-utility.
Shure Incorporated Locking and Unlocking the Controls The controls of the receiver and transmitter can be locked to prevent accidental or unauthorized changes to settings. Note: Locks are not affected by power cycles. Locking the Receiver Controls Simultaneously press and hold the group and channel buttons until LK appears on the LCD. Repeat to unlock.
Shure Incorporated Manually Selecting a Group and Channel Specific groups and channels can be assigned to the receiver instead of using the automatic scan function. Note: Group 3 should only be used in controlled Wi-Fi environments to prevent interference from unexpected Wi-Fi devices. Selecting a Group 1. Press and hold the group button for 2 seconds until the group display flashes. 2. Press the group button to scroll through the available groups. 3.
