Shure GLXD24+ Dual-Band Wireless Vocal System with SM58 Microphone

Shure GLXD24+ Dual-Band Wireless Vocal System with SM58 Microphone

The Shure GLXD24+ is a digital wireless handheld microphone system that offers reliability and outstanding sound quality in a package that's simple to use, even if you've never operated a wireless system before. Shure's next-generation technology handles the setup for you, automatically scanning both the 2.4 and 5.8 GHz frequency ranges to seek out the best possible digital transmission channel to ensure dependable performance for your performances, presentations, conferences, and events at a typical range of up to 100' indoors and 65' outside.

Handheld Transmitter with SM58 Microphone

• This version of the GLXD24+ is configured with a handheld transmitter equipped with the legendary SM58 microphone.
• Relied on by live engineers and singers worldwide, the rugged mic's dynamic capsule is pneumatically shock-mounted to resist handling noise, while the cardioid polar pattern focuses audio capture on the vocalist, helping to reduce feedback issues when sound reinforcement equipment is used.
• Built into the SM58 is a pop filter, which helps control wind and breath noise without requiring an external pop screen.
• A steel-mesh grille protects against wear, abuse, and the challenging conditions of live events.

Portable Tabletop Receiver

• This configuration includes a portable tabletop receiver made from durable ABS plastic with front-panel charging for the SB904 battery and an easy-to-read display that shows pertinent information.
• The system transmits audio with a flat, 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response and 120 dB of dynamic range, leaving the sound of your mic unaffected by the wireless components.
• The transmitter's input gain can be wirelessly adjusted right from the receiver's front panel to optimize the audio signal.
• The rear panel provides a balanced XLR output switchable between mic and line levels along with a balanced 1/4" Inst/Aux output.

Reliable Dual-Band Technology

• GLX-D+ Dual-Band Digital Wireless systems operate in both the 2.4 and 5.8 GHz frequency ranges, automatically scanning both to select the one that offers the higher number of clean channels.
• The previous GLX-D only worked in the 2.4 GHz range, which offers 83.5 MHz of bandwidth. By expanding into the 5.8 GHz range, the GLX-D+ provides an additional 125 MHz worth of potential open frequencies for available channels, helping to minimize dropouts and enhance reliability.
• The system offers true digital diversity, which means two antennas and two independent receiver modules work together to reduce RF signal dropouts.
• In addition to the main transmission frequency, the GLX-D+ is constantly monitoring 2 extra "backup frequencies”, so if the system detects interference, it will switch to one of the backups automatically without the user even knowing.
• Besides the additional spectrum, there are other benefits too in operating in the 5.8 GHz range. In general, there are fewer devices operating in this range, making the spectrum cleaner. The 2.4 GHz range is home to Bluetooth devices and other devices, including Wi-Fi routers and repeaters, security cameras, baby monitors, garage door openers, and more. Operating in this range means competing with these devices for the same space.
• GLX-D+ receivers typically allow you to run up to 4 mics simultaneously in the same space. Under ideal conditions, up to 8 systems can be used.
• If you need more mics at once, consider a system with the GLXDR+ half-rack receiver, which offers removable antennas and can accommodate the GLXD+FM Frequency Manager (available separately). The frequency manager allows up to 11 mics to operate simultaneously (16 under highly optimal conditions) making it ideal for installations with multiple wireless systems.

Intelligent Battery Rechargeability

• The GLXD2+ handheld transmitter runs on an intelligent SB904 rechargeable lithium-ion battery (included).
• The battery provides up to 12 hours of continuous use on a full charge.
• The transmitter automatically powers off after approximately 1 hour to conserve battery life if the signal from a linked receiver is not detected.
• The SB904 battery can be recharged in the GLXDR4+ receiver's charging bay (located on the front panel). The charging bay can also be used to recharge a spare battery while the transmitter is in use.
• Alternately, the SB904 can be recharged while in the handheld transmitter with a USB charging cable.
• Just a 15-minute quick charge provides 1.5 hours of use.
• The SB904's remaining battery life is displayed in hours and minutes from the receiver's front panel.
