GLX-D Digital Wireless Systems have a typical operating range of up to 100 feet indoors or 65 feet outdoors, with a maximum range in ideal conditions of 200 feet indoors and 165 feet outdoors. In a typical setting, you can simultaneously operate up to 4 compatible systems, and up to 8 under ideal conditions. This receiver works on the Z2 frequency band.
LINKFREQ: The GLX-D Digital Wireless systems feature LINKFREQ Automatic Frequency Management. When the system is powered up, the receiver continuously analyzes the available frequencies. The receiver and transmitter automatically link using the best set of available frequencies. In the event of interference, the receiver and transmitter intelligently move together to another open frequency without any interruption of audio.
GLXD4: The GLXD4 Wireless Receiver operates within the 2.4 GHz ISM spectrum, and automatically links to the GLXD1 bodypack or GLXD2 handheld transmitters. The receiver has an XLR microphone output and a 1/4" instrument output, and is powered by the supplied 14-to-18-volt DC power supply. The GLXD4 has a built-in charging port for the SB902 Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery used by the GLXD1 and GLXD2 transmitters. The GLXD4's LCD screen keeps provides a constant indication of the system's status. It displays the selected group and channel numbers, an audio meter with overload indicator, and the transmitter gain. It also provides an accurate indication of the remaining transmitter battery life. The GLXD4 is equipped with two, non-removable 1/2-wave sleeve dipole antennas.
GLXD1: The Shure GLXD1 Bodypack transmitter features a sophisticated design with a rugged metal construction. It has a single 4-pin TA4M mini connector for plugging in a lavalier, headset, or instrument microphone, or a guitar cable. The transmitter also has Micro USB battery charging port. To save battery life, the transmitter automatically powers off after approximately 1 hour if it is no longer linked to a receiver.
SB902 Battery: The GLXD1 and GLXD2 transmitters are powered by a single Shure SB902 Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery. The battery's advanced chemistry produces zero memory effects, eliminating the need to discharge the battery prior to charging. A fully-charged battery which provides approximately 16 hours of continuous battery life. The battery can be charged inside the transmitter when connected to an AC power source or USB connection, or charged in the GLXD4 receiver's built-in charging bay. The approximate battery charging and transmitter runtimes are as follows:
| Receiver Bay or AC Power Source | USB Charging | Transmitter Runtime |
|---|---|---|
| 15 minutes | 30 minutes | up to 1.5 hours |
| 30 minutes | 1 hour | up to 3 hours |
| 1 hour | 2 hours | up to 6 hours |
| 3 hours | 4 hours | up to 16 hours |
WL185: The WL185 condenser microphone is for general purpose sound reinforcement applications. The WL185 has a 130° cardioid polar pattern, and comes with a snap-fit windscreen that provides 30dB of pop protection, and a tie clip that can be rotated in 90° intervals for placement flexibility. CommShield Technology eliminates RF interference from cell phones and digital bodypack transmitters. The 48" cable terminates into a 4-pin Mini TA4F connector. The WL185 includes a durable padded zipper case.
