2.4 GHz Spectrum Overview
GLX-D operates within the 2.4GHz ISM band which is utilized by Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and other wireless devices. The benefit of 2.4GHz is that it's a global band that can be used anywhere in the world, license free.
Overcoming the Challenges of 2.4 GHz
The challenge of 2.4 GHz is that Wi-Fi traffic can be unpredictable. GLX-D meets these challenges in the following ways:
· Prioritizes and transmits on the best three frequencies per channel (choosing from a pool of six frequencies across the 2.4 GHz band)
· Seamlessly moves away from interference to backup frequencies without audio interruption · Optional GLX-D Frequency Manager improves RF reliability for systems with more than two receivers · Continuously scans during usage to rank all frequencies (both current and backup frequencies) · Antenna mounting accessories and directional antennas (available separately) help reduce transmittertoantenna dis
tance and connect to antenna splitter
Coexisting with Wi-Fi
If you plan to use WiFi during a performance, turn on WiFi devices prior to turning on GLXD and scanning for the best chan nel. GLXD detects and avoids other WiFi traffic by scanning the entire 2.4 GHz environment and selecting the three best fre quencies to transmit on. This method avoids Wi-Fi signals and results in reliable performance for your GLX-D wireless system. "Bursting" WiFi is harder to detect as it is periodic; however, because GLXD only repeats the most important information, even bursts at very high levels don't have an effect on your audio performance.
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 transmittertoreceiver distance by placing receivers on the stage with a clear line of sight. You can also mount antennas re motely using Shure directional antennas to reduce transmitter-to-antenna distance.
Challenging environments include:
· Areas with few reflective surfaces such as: Outdoors Buildings with very high ceilings
· Three or more GLXD4R receivers in use and not connected to a GLX-D Frequency Manager · Areas with a strong Wi-Fi presence · 2.4 GHz systems from other manufacturers in use
Note: Unlike analog TV band wireless system which typically use the same type of transmissions across manufacturers, all 2.4 GHz wireless currently on the market use different variations of wireless transmission. These differences make it more difficult to mix and match 2.4 GHz systems from multiple manufactur ers, as can be done with TV band wireless solutions.

Tips to Improve Wireless System Performance

If you encounter interference or dropouts, try the following suggestions:

1. Place receiver at least 3 meters (10 feet) away from Wi-Fi access points, computers, or other active 2.4 GHz sources. Avoid heavy Wi-Fi traffic activities such as downloading large files or viewing a movie. Turn on any Wi-Fi prior to turning on GLX-D and scanning for the best channel.

17/33

Shure Incorporated 2. Reduce transmitter-to-receiver distance by placing receivers on stage or above the audience with a clear line of sight to
the transmitter. Move receiver to the top of the equipment rack for a clear line of sight. Mount antennas remotely to place closer to transmitters and improve RF reliability if receivers cannot be moved closer. Make sure people do not block the line of sight between receiver and transmitter.
Additional Tips
· Do not place competitive 2.4 GHz receivers near GLXD4R receivers. · Connect more than two GLXD4R receivers to a GLX-D Frequency Manager to improve RF reliability. · Scan for the best available channel by pressing the channel button. · Keep transmitters more than 2 meters (6 feet) apart. This is less critical with shorter receiver-to-transmitter distances or if
receivers are connected to a GLX-D Frequency Manager.
Note: If transmitters are within 6 inches of non-GLX-D transmitters or microphone cartridges, audible noise is possible.
· Move transmitter and receiver away from metal or other dense materials. · During sound check, mark trouble spots and ask performers to avoid those areas. · If there is a strong source of Wi-Fi and you specifically want to use frequencies within that Wi-Fi channel, use the following
Group/Channel combinations (best option listed first): Wi-Fi 1: Group 3/Channel 8, Group 3/Channel 4 18/33

Wi-Fi 6: Group 3/Channel 7, Group 3/Channel 5 Wi-Fi 11: Group 3/Channel 2, Group 3/Channel 1

Shure Incorporated

Remote Antenna Placement
Follow these guidelines when mounting antennas remotely:
· Reduce distance between transmitter and antenna. · Mount antennas farther from each other to improve performance. · Position antennas so there is nothing obstructing the line of sight to the transmitter, including the audience. · Keep antennas away from metal objects and any other antennas. · Use only low-loss reverse SMA cable to avoid poor RF signal.
Consult cable's specifications and calculate signal loss for desired cable run. · Use one continuous length of cable from the antenna to the receiver to increase signal reliability. · Always perform a walkaround test to verify coverage before using a wireless system during a speech or performance. Ex
periment with antenna placement to find the optimum location. If necessary, mark any trouble spots and ask presenters or performers to avoid those areas.

Multiple Receiver Systems

To run more than two receivers at the same time, the GLX-D Frequency Manager is recommended to improve RF reliability.
However, you can run multiple receivers without the frequency manager. 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 Receivers)

Number of Backup Frequencies Per Channel

Notes

Up to 4

Initial factory setting.

Up to 5*

Best multi-channel group if you experience interference.

Up to 8*

Only use Group 3 in controlled Wi-Fi environments because there are no backup frequencies to avoid interference.

Best single-channel group if you experience interference.

*Environmentally dependent, 4 systems typical
See "Tips to Improve Wireless System Performance" section for additional information. For information about receiver groups when connected to the GLX-D Frequency Manager, see the UA846 user guide.

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. Turn on the first receiver. 2. Press and hold the group button to select a group (if necessary) or if the group is already set, press the channel button
to scan for the best available channel. 3. Turn on the first transmitter. The rf LED turns solid blue when a link is established.

19/33

Shure Incorporated
Repeat steps 1-3 for each additional receiver and transmitter. Remember to set each receiver to the same group. See GLX-D Frequency Manager guide for setting up receivers and transmitters when connected to the frequency manager.
Note: Dashes appearing on the group and channel display during a channel scan indicate that frequencies are not available in the selected group. Choose a group that supports more receivers and repeat set-up steps.
Manually Linking a Transmitter to a Receiver

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.
3. Test the audio to verify the link and adjust the gain if necessary.
Combo Systems
A combo system is created by linking two transmitters to a single receiver. Only one transmitter can be active at a time to pre vent cross interference. Gain settings for each transmitter can be independently set and stored when the transmitter is active. Important! Do not turn on and operate both linked transmitters at any time. Turn off both transmitters before beginning.
1. Press the group button to select a group. The receiver automatically scans the selected group to find the best available channel.
2. Turn on transmitter 1 and link it to the receiver. Adjust the gain, and then turn off the transmitter. 3. Turn on transmitter 2 and link it to the receiver. Adjust the gain, and then turn off the transmitter.
Note: A transmitter can only link to one GLX-D receiver at a time.
Operation
Gain Adjustment
Use the gain buttons on the receiver to increase or decrease the gain of a linked transmitter: · Turn on the linked transmitter and momentarily press the gain buttons to adjust the gain in 1 dB increments · For faster gain adjustments, press and hold the gain buttons · To replicate the output level of a guitar, unity gain is -18 dB for the ¼" output
Tip: Monitor the audio and observe the receiver audio meter level while adjusting the gain to prevent signal overload.
