Shure has introduced the GLX-D+ Dual Band Wireless system for guitarists, bassists, vocalists and presenters to go wireless with confidence and without complexity.
A significant advance on the previous Shure GLX-D generation of wireless, the new system more than doubles available bandwidth by using new Dual Band Wireless Technology that is able to operate in the 2.4GHz, and now 5.8GHz, bands, providing reliable and consistent signal by automatically scanning for and selecting the cleanest available frequencies.
Using this technology, GLX-D+ Dual Band intelligently avoids interference and ensures dropouts will no longer interrupt a show or performance.
GLX-D+ is available in rack-mount, tabletop, and guitar pedal receiver options with a wide selection of lavalier, headset, and handheld microphone choices – including the enduring SM58.
Featuring improved battery life over the previous generation, GLX-D+ now offers up to 12 hours of run time. The system’s useful quick charge capability provides 1.5 hours of use from a 15-minute charge. GLX-D+ also offers multiple smart rechargeability options – its new lithium-Ion SB904 battery can be charged directly on a tabletop and half-rack receivers or through a USB-C connector on the transmitter.
Engineered in a rugged metal design that can be completely integrated into a pedalboard (9V DC power), the GLXD6+ Digital Wireless Guitar Pedal makes it easy for guitarists and bassists to go wireless without compromising tone or complicating their rigs. The guitar pedal receiver includes a tuner and a new quarter-inch jack input for flexibility when wired practice and performance are preferred. Players can easily switch between two or more transmitters linked to a single receiver, making on-stage transitions between instrumentation seamless.
GLX-D+ Dual Band Wireless provides improved RF performance, antenna distribution, and automatic frequency management for up to 11 half-rack systems in typical environments (16 under optimal conditions). Separately available Frequency Manager (GLXD+FM) and directional antenna accessories are required.
‘From modest concert halls and auditoriums to the largest global tours and stages – musicians, presenters, and houses of worship count on Shure wireless microphone systems to instill the confidence that their performances will be extraordinary. GLX-D+ provides an effortless set-up, eliminating barriers to entry for those who want to take their first step on their wireless journey,’ says Eduardo Valdes, Associate Vice President of Global Marketing.
GLX-D+ systems and components are available in various configurations designed to meet the needs of musicians and presenters. Since all GLX-D+ Dual Band Wireless systems operate in a licence-free frequency range, users won’t have to worry about technical hurdles while traveling. The tabletop and rack-mountable GLX-D+ systems are available with three handheld wireless microphone options, including the SM58, Beta 58A and Beta 87A.
GLX-D+ Dual Band Wireless Systems will be available early Q1 at Shure.com and select retailers starting at £549.
