Scott, your videos are always great and very informative. I'm definitely interested in you finishing the Shure series with a video on the Axient wireless. Appreciate you!
Thank you so much for this video!! I really appreciate how informative you are. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and experience with wireless systems. I just got my SLXD24/K8B and set it up following your instructions. I'm so excited to use this! Never stop making videos Scott! You rule and so does Spiral Cell!🤘🎶✨️
I have 2 of the dual beta 58 systems.. the best wireless systems I’ve ever owned. NEVER a problem or drop out. Can’t reccomend enough. Plus the rechargeable lithium batteries will save you $$ super quick.
great video again scott. I really the idea of a cordless mic and cordless bass set up, all in one system. I also like that you mentioned this is your 'go to' system in regards to being reliable, especially if you start adding other wireless equipment on stage. In my opinion, no need to do a complete video on the expensive set up, maybe just a quick blurb of what the difference is and why the extra price, but its a preference thing. Keep up the good work and your videos are always interesting with a no bullshit or sales pitch on anything
Thanks Lenny! And maybe I’ll do a trimmed down version of the Axient because there is sooooo much stuff it can do. It’s got the range of 470-608mhz so it’s the full UHF frequency range. Basically impossible not to find a channel on those
Came across your video after purchasing the SLXD4D. Such a Great Video!! When I'm ready for the rechargeable batteries, I will use the links. Thank you.
I tried the SLXD14 for guitar. Solid build, easy set up, no latency but have some issues with guitar tone in my IEM mix and FOH. I use a Helix with a band that goes direct to a Behringer XR18, use a Shure PSM300 for my IEM. The gain setting between the transmitter and receiver default was at max so signal was clipping, adjusted all the way down to get to a similar level as a cable. The next issue was how thin and brittle the sound was. A/B between cable and wireless and the tone difference was obvious in the IEM and FOH sound, not so obvious going direct to a real guitar amp. Adjusted gain on the SLXD4 as low as I could, tried the high pass, Pad/Boost setting and even between Mic/Line level settings. Not happy with added brightness in tone and would hate to adjust eq on all presets I have been using live. Prefer the cable sound.
Finally did the Axient video: Shure Axient Digital - The HOLY GRAIL of Wireless - Complete Overview ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rzmJGw49QXE.html
hey scott, I'm not sure if I missed it or not, but have you done a video on what you feel is best way and best product to have your lyrics and/or chords, in front of you while playing ?? especially when your doing so many different ventures/genres as you do. I realize you use cordless ear prompts as well.
That’s funny timing, because I’m literally editing a video on stage Traxx 3 right now hahaha it should be out sometime this month (although I have other videos to edit before it)
@@ScottUhlMusic looking forward to the video and I fully realize editing takes so much time... P.S. I still like the great pics you posted when you and your wife did the 'working vacation"... every guy's dream, ... fun in the sun then play tunes at night or daytime.. that's winning the lottery to me.. lol..
Hello, how are you? I have a serious question. Could you tell me which microphones you would use for the receiver? Which microphones are compatible with the Shure ULXS4 Wireless Microphone? I wouldn't mind the brand of the microphone. They could be Chinese. I don't care. I just need to make sure it is a specific model. What functions with this receiver, well I have it but it does not have microphones, thanks in advance
Excellent video! Apologies if it's in there and I missed it but I notice there's 3 different frequency ranges these are offered in. How do you choose what range to purchase?
Thanks! And based on your region. You can go to the Shure Frequency Finder to see what’s best for your specific region. But if you travel a lot, it doesn’t really matter too much 👍
Do you recommend the SLX over the GLX-D+ systems? I currently use two original GLX-D units, and while it worked great for years I now get dropouts no matter what channel (overcrowded 2.4?). I was considering two GLX-D+ units, but this seems more robust for not whole lot more..
What're your thoughts of this system compared to the Electro Voice RE3 you reviewed a month or so ago? I've watched both videos a few times, but would love to hear your thoughts! I currently use the Sennheiser EW-D for my guitar and thats also a great system, not had 1 dropout in the year I've been using it. Worth a try if you've not tried 1.
@@ScottUhlMusic thanks for replying. Does 1 have any particular advantages over the other? Over here in the UK there's an almost £200 difference between the 2, so just wondered! Enjoying your channel btw!
I’ll post snippets on my Instagram stories sometimes. But here is a quarantine concert I shot in my room during lockdowns for my original music: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dFF6dgxD_5E.html 🤘🤘
I have the Shure SLX-D DUAL wireless system and I can't get both mics to sync at the same time. When I sync mic 1, it works great. But when I then sync mic 2, it seems to be deleting all the information from mic 1. End result, I can only use one of the two mics that came with this system. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
You are pairing one mic to receiver on the left side and one mic to the receiver on the right side correct? If you pair two mics to the SAME channel, you cannot have them on at the same time.
Same with my SLXD4. Telecaster, passive pickups, helix. Testing both IEM monitor sound and FOH. The signal clips and tone has more treble and sounds brittle. Clipping gone with receiver gain down below the “optimal” range but still notice the brighter tone vs 15’ cable. High pass filter did not help. I have not yet tried adjusting the body pack transmitter pad/boost settings.
Good morning Scott, can the SLXD 4 allow 2 devices with different frequency and Group/Channel configuration work simultaneously. We have a SLXD1 body pack and an SLXD2 Wireless mic. D1 = G01/C30 Frequency around 517. D2=G01/C01 Frequency around 407 Thanks and God bless. 🖖🏼🤟🏼
I assume you're asking about the SLXD4D. In answer to your question, yes and no. In general yes, it's basically two receivers in a single rack unit, with built-in antenna distribution, so yes, you can use two transmitters with different frequencies and group / channel configurations simultaneously (understand what groups mean though -- you typically don't want to use different groups). No, in that they sell these units in three distinct frequency bands, and when you buy a SLX4D, both of the receivers are in the same band, e.g., G58 (470-514 MHz), so the transmitters must also be in that frequency band as well, i.e., if you have a G58 unit, it can only use G58 transmitters with it.
Hey Scott! I bought this system because of the your review and I’m happy. Thank you so much! I wanted to ask if you know. Can I use a ksm9 or ksm11 on slxd transmitter? Or not? Thank you!
@@josputra5535 but I’ve seen on the box Shure recommends only KSM8. Just one of the top capsules for these transmitters. If that works - that super cool 👍🏻
Nice video! I just purchased this mic; however, I’m building a Rack but I have 1 question… Since I also have a Shure PSM 300 for monitoring, ¿Can both Wireless systems live together in the rack?¿What would be the best way to prevent dropouts? Regards!
Hey Scott! Thank you for the video. Can you tell me how’s system going so far? Are you happy with that? I need to by a wireless system, thinking about this with beta87a capsule, but this is a digital system. My concern about a stable signal and etc with digital system Thank you!
If you want to use them at the same time, then yes, I would get the dual one. I’ve upgraded to the dual one since this video came out and it’s worth it!
What case for the receiver are you using? I will not be racking this mic receiver. I just ordered this mic, but it does not come with a cover or case. Thanks
I’ve never had that happen. I would message Shure, they usually respond within one business day. However, it sounds like you got a mic in a different band (frequency range) from the receiver
Hello,i just asking only i buy shure wireless,my receiver,is SLXD4,,,,,,,and my my wireless mic is SLXD2 This unit is working ,pls send me back thank you
You need to check the band they are in. g58 band, H55 band, etc. just make sure the transmitter and receivers are in the same band and you’ll be good to go
I’ve landed on this exact same system (including the 87A capsule) for my wife’s project after a lot of research. Question/advice regarding our next wireless purchase: Right now we have the SLXD for her mic, QLXD for my guitar, a single Sennheiser EW300 G3 IEM for her, and for my IEM a VocoPro IEM which actually uses two different frequencies in the 900MHz range for the left/right ears (weird but it has worked well so far). I’ll check your channel to see if you have reviewed that system, I’d be curious to get your thoughts on its design. We are also running our own dual band router for our XR18, and a pair of WIDI Master wireless Bluetooth MIDI dongles. I want to add wireless IEM for our bass player, who will be in mono, and I’m struggling with the decision to go with Phenyx Pro PTM-10, which may compete with our other 900 MHz system, and is larger and maybe less robust in build than my other choice: the XVIVE U4, which may compete with our router, but is small, bulletproof, and rechargeable. They cost practically the same, so it’s a tough call.
Nice! I’ll have to look into the VocoPro, I haven’t heard of that one. But the PTM will be great. If you have just one other device in 900, it will be fine to just add 1 one. You’ve got a great setup going! 🤘
@@ScottUhlMusic Thanks for the quick reply, as always! I suppose technically I have two 900MHz systems going, but I think I’d rather take my chances with the PTM-10 than compete with 2.4G. The only time I’ve struggled with 900MHz (with my previous Shure PGX guitar wireless) was on a cruise ship gig, where I’ve struggled with EVERYTHING but the QLXD. An enormous steel boat with 3000 com systems going and radios and satellites just doesn’t agree with a band’s wireless gear for some reason… I recently went to a constituent’s show, and he was using the PTM-10, but I forgot to ask how it was working for him here in the Nashville area, where wireless is notoriously crowded. If he’s been good with it, that and your advice will definitely seal the deal on my decision. Thanks again!
