There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I had a number of problems. The obvious one is that I wanted to be wireless. There were additional considerations in my case, which I will enumerate because I can’t imagine that I am unique in this.
I have several basses. One has unbelievably hot Bartolini pickups. It actually overdrives some of my pedals with the volume all the way up. One is a Stingray-5 with much more typical output. One is a beautiful old Warwick with passive pickups. These have radically different voices and radically different output levels. Because they go into my pedal chain at such different voltages, it is difficult to get all three of them sounding good on the same night.
I’ve wanted to go wireless for some time, but it wasn’t my highest priority in gear acquisition. I recently upgraded my amp to a Hartke stack with an LH1000 head. I love the rig. It’s beautiful. But I didn’t realize in the store that this thing does not have a standby switch and it takes a good 30 seconds for the tubes to warm up. Suddenly, switching guitars on the fly is big, big problem.
So I need to figure out how to normalize voltage into my signal chain, and also figure out how to mute the signal while switching instruments. I looked into mute pedals, signal splitters and pre-amp pedals to boost the passive bass. I also considered using the effects loops so I could use the passive-input jack and still go through the same effects chain, but floor pedals really aren’t meant to take line-level signal. Then if I’m going to use two different input jacks – would I have to buy two wireless receivers? Every solution just added more complications, more wires, and caused as many problems as it solved.
Then I decided to look at wireless options before making any decisions, and I am so glad I did. When I discovered the Shure GLXD16, everything came together.
First off… The GLXD6 is a first-rate wireless receiver. It includes the GLXD1 transmitter which is a unit that already has a proven history – working with the older GLXD4 receiver.
It has two other features that are incredibly useful to me, and probably to many other musicians as well.
-A built-in tuner mode, that also mutes the signal. This is not a unique feature: there are dedicated tuning pedals that do this, but having it integrated into the receiver opens one slot on your pedal board and is just amazingly convenient for switching instruments.
-It will support multiple transmitters – and it allows you set input signal levels (-20 to +12 dB) AND REMEMBERS THEM FOR EACH TRANSMITTER! You can switch instruments on the fly and know that your signal chain is ready for any of them. The GLXD4 did this also, I believe. This is not new to Shure, but I never seriously looked into a wireless unit until recently.
Boom. All my problems solved in a single purchase. I’m wireless. I have customized input boost/pad for each bass. No more dangerous crackle when I switch instruments. I bought a second GLXD1 transmitter. Now I use one for the passive instrument and one for the actives. Soon I will have a third so that each active instrument can have its own fine-tuned input padding.
PROS:
-These devices feel like they were built from weapons-grade titanium. They are heavy and solid, clearly meant to withstand the rigors of the stage.
-Reception range is amazing. The GLXD4 apparently has better range, but unless you are running up the aisles of a 10,000 seat arena, I don’t think you are going to have a problem with this.
-Sound quality is uncompromised. This is particularly important for bass players, as cheap wireless units rarely have an adequate frequency response curve.
-Easy to use and setup. For one instrument, this works out of the box. There are a lot of things you can do to customize and optimize signal in situations where you have a lot of wireless signal on the stage. For most users, just plug in and go.
-Instant recognition and linking of transmitters.
BEWARE:
-This is not a “con”, just something you MUST be aware of to get things to work as advertised. This needs 12 volts and 250 ma. This shouldn’t be a big problem. There are many guitar pedals that require more than 9 volts these days, and plenty of pedal power supplies that allow you to choose between 9,12,18, and in some cases even 24 volts. I’ve used this through a Voodoo labs 4x4 and currently a Strymon Zuma and it performed perfectly with both. Just use the correct power supply and you’ll be fine.
CONS:
The ONLY thing about this that bugs me is the power jack. It’s not loose. But it doesn’t really have a satisfying grab either. Of course, if you have your stuff Velcro-ed and zip-tied properly, you won’t have to worry about it, but take it into account when setting up your pedal board.
Pros:
Super portable and lightweight
The Li-ion battery of the transmitter lasts a very long time (after three hours of play-time, the battery indicator hasn't budged)
Easy setup (no need to fiddle around with XLR cables or anything like that, just plug it in with the 1/4" jack)
Awesome distance (there's nowhere in my house I can't go where the signal drops)
No noticeable delay
Reproduces high quality sound with no distortion
Durable build
Cons:
The antenna on the transmitter is a bit wobbly
The receiver has about an 1" scratch on it near the foot switch that I'm not sure how it got there
Overall, I would highly recommend this. The portability, durability, and reliability of the Shure GLXD16 is worth every penny.
The built-in tuner is AWESOME. Quite frankly, one of the best I've ever used and super easy to read on stage. This is especially nice as it frees up additional space on the pedal board if you're using one...since you won't need to add a tuner.
The other thing you want to pay attention to - and I ran into this in my rig...I had this unit right next to a wifi access point that I use so that I can connect my iPad to my Midas mixing console. I was using an Apple Airport device that doesn't have the ability to disable the 2.4GHz band so was getting awful interference when the Shure receiver was placed anywhere close to that unit. So, be aware of that - you'll get some weird interference noises...sounds a bit like clicking or a tremelo sort of sound and obviously you're range will be severely limited.
Battery life is amazing - and how much you have left is clearly shown with LED's on the Rx unit. I A/B'd with my cable and couldn't tell a difference sonically and didn't detect any noticeable latency. There obviously is some compared to a cable, but not detectable by ear.
Overall, super killer unit - look forward to having this as a part of my rig for quite some time.
Top reviews from other countries
I bought this to try and limit the amount of cables around my feet when we're playing and give me a bit more freedom of movement. It's worked out very well as I notice no real difference between my sound using a cable or using this Shure system.
As there's 4 of us in the band and we don't generally have a sound guy I can go out into the audience area and get a better handle on our levels during sound check.
Battery life is very good.
It's probably not the cheapest wireless system out there but this works really well. I'm very pleased with it.
What I don't like is the way you charge it when you have a case that you are connecting to your strap
Je le recommande fortement. D’accord, ce n’est pas donné, mais c’est un produit raffiné, pas un jouet.
