General

If you're a guitarist, you can't help but move around the stage. Getting wrapped up or tripping over your cables can kind of get in the way of your performance. Fortunately, Shure offers the GLXD16 wireless system, which digitally transmits your (bass) guitar output to a receiver, granting you total freedom of movement within a range of up to 60-metres. The system consists of a GLXD6 pedal receiver with a built-in tuner, a GLXD1 bodypack and a matching 0.7m guitar cable (the WA305). Install the receiver on your pedal board, and once hooked up, the digital system automatically selects an optimal frequency, ensuring crystal-clear sound.

Shure GLX-D6 Receiver

The GLXD6 is a compact digital receiver that neatly fits on your pedalboard and transmits the incoming signal to your guitar effects using a rear-mounted jack output. A frequency range of 20 to 20,000 Hz makes sure that the entire sound spectrum is transmitted, using the 2.4GHz frequency band for world-wide, interference-free reception. The pedal receiver is complete with a chromatic tuner, and bright LEDs keep you posted on the signal status, current frequency and the remaining battery life of the bodypack transmitter.

Shure GLX-D1 Transmitter

Shure's GLXD1 transmitter is powered by a powerful lithium-ion battery, allowing you to perform for sixteen consecutive hours. Once it runs out of juice, it only needs a short, 15-minute charging session to last for another hour and a half. Thanks to the LINKFREQ system, you won't have to worry about setting the right frequency since it'll do it automatically. Should any interference occur, it automatically searches for a better frequency band. Use the included WA305 instrument cable to directly connect your guitar to the GLXD1 transmitter.

Zowel zender als ontvanger voelen zeer solide aan. Geluidskwaliteit? Ik gebruik de set voor de bass en ik hoor geen verschil tussen kabel en wireless (al gebruik ik met opnamen liever een kabeltje).

De accu van de zender gaat erg lang mee maar het is toch jammer dat Shure voor deze accu heeft gekozen.
Bij de security-check op de luchthavens kan men namelijk vervelend doen over dergelijke accu's.

Verder vond ik het bevestigen van de zender aan de gitaar-belt (zoals getoond in de Shure video) wel een beetje 'slordig'. Maar met wat hobby-en heb een ik leren houdertje gemaakt en nu zit alles perfect.

Het geheel wordt geleverd in een beetje erg grote doos. Ruimte genoeg en daarom zou het fijn zijn geweest als daar een losse lader en nog belangrijker, een kabel met haakse plug in zouden zitten.
Helaas moet je die los bestellen.
Daarom geen 5 maar 4 sterren.

Erg robuust, deze vervangt na meer dan 10 jaar mijn trouwen Sennheiser en als ik één ding zou veranderen dan is het de switch veel eerder maken.

Past perfect op het pedalboard en heb daar ook de tunerpedaal kunnen verwijderen dankzij de ingebouwde tuner op de GLXD. Absolute aanrader.

Robuste kwaliteit. Makkelijke in gebruik name en makkelijke (intuïtieve) bediening. Prima geluids kwaliteit. Geeft veel vrijheid tijdens optredens / gebruik. Een echt Shure product. Wel wat prijzig maar verwacht er lang gebruik van te maken.
