Shure GLXD24R/SM86 Advanced Digital Wireless Microphone System

Full Description

GLX-D and GLX-D Advanced - what's the difference?

You might have heard about Shure's GLX-D wireless systems. They've developed a pretty envious reputation for their exceptional performance and reliability. But what about the GLX-D Advanced systems? What's the difference?

Advanced builds on the original GLX-D platform and takes it to a whole new level. You've still got the same revered transmitters and signature microphone capsules. But the heart of the system - the receiver - has undergone a major upgrade to dramatically enhance system performance...

This new receiver manages your bandwidth more efficiently, more effectively, and more reliably. So it's the perfect choice for those looking to put together a larger wireless system. And with the Shure Advanced Frequency Manager, you can make use of up to six receivers at once without any frustration whatsoever. Not only does this let you take advantage of up to 11 systems simultaneously, but it also makes sure that your digital wireless reception is incredibly clean, clear, and reliable thanks to superior bandwidth allocation and security.

But it doesn't stop there. Advanced receivers boast a robust metal design that can be mounted in your rack. This improved format is perfect for touring and installations, and will ensure your system is as safe as possible.

Frequency management made easy

Setting up your GLX-D Advanced system is easy. It takes a few seconds. There’s no trial and error or endless menu-diving.

And if you want to take your system to the next level, you can with the Shure GLX-D Advanced Frequency Manager (sold separately). This powerful device provides you with the ability to combine up to six GLXD4R receivers, to create a comprehensive wireless network that is perfect for large performance venues.

The GLX-D Advanced Frequency Manager ensures reliable signal transmission and seamless frequency management across multiple receivers. It increases the channel count, while reducing the number of required antennas and power supplies. It's also compatible with a range of remote antenna accessories (sold separately). So you can build and expand your rig as and when you need to.

No more interference

You don't need to worry about nearby Wi-Fi and Bluetooth devices disrupting your signal. LINKFREQ frequency management intelligently responds to your environment, giving you crystal clear, unbroken sound. For maximum efficiency no matter how big your system grows.

It works by continuously scanning the available frequency spectrum, and automatically selects the best open channel. When troublesome Wi-Fi and Bluetooth signals start to interfere, the receiver will seamlessly change to a new clear frequency.

This is complimented by true diversity operation, which compares and selects the strongest signal from the receiver's two antennae. It's all so smart and seamless, you can't even hear it happen. All you hear is pristine, full bandwidth digital audio.

Rechargeable lithium-ion battery

AA batteries can be costly and inconvenient. You're never sure how long they have left, so you swap them prematurely. Or worse, they die mid performance.

That's why GLX-D transmitters use a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. And the high-resolution screen shows you exactly how much charge you have left in hours and minutes. So you have total peace of mind when your performing.

To recharge, simply insert the battery into the handy port on the front of the receiver. Or leave it inside the transmitter and connect the included USB cable. You can even charge a spare battery whilst performing so that you're never caught out on stage.

You'll get a generous 16 hours of continuous use from a full battery. And in emergencies, a 15 minute quick-charge will give you an indispensable hour and a half of run time.

SM86 Microphone Transmitter

You're probably familiar with Shure's most famous handheld microphone. You know the one. Well the Shure SM86 embodies that same commitment to faultless engineering; to absolute durability. But takes the renowned Shure sound to a different place.

The SM86 hears the finer details. The natural articulation of your voice is preserved by the sensitive condenser capsule. For a more authentic representation of you. Whilst a dual-layered pop filter delivers your vocal clearly to your audience.

Fused with smart wireless technology, the SM86 transmitter automatically links with your GLX-D receiver, for seamless frequency matching. And faithfully performs up to 30 meters (100 feet) away.

And despite housing impressive technology, the GLXD2/SM86 is lightweight and durable. And the safely recessed on/off switch stays out the way. Everything is in place, so you can perform at your best.
