How Far Can A Wireless System Reach?! - Testing The Shure GLX-D+ System!

[@Fret-knot]

That's the way to test a wireless system! 👍🏻

[@PMTVUK]

Haha, thanks Simon! 🤘

[@jgreat4785]

I've used the Line6 G50 for years and it works fine most of the time. It does get intermittent on bigger stages where there's a lot of OTHER wireless signal. The problem is that it won’t start dropping out until you’re in the middle of a show and they start using their wireless light systems. It is always fine at sound check. The unit on your pedal board will tell you if it’s having a problem with the signal. And you can change to a different channel. But you have to manually do it on your board and then manually do it on the belt pack receiver. That’s time consuming and in the middle of a show, it’s a show stopper. What I like about this Shure unit is that it will detect interference, and instantly change to a better channel. You don’t have to do a thing. That's worth the extra money! I ordered mine today.

Shout out to sound capture in this video. Spot on in every moment.

He'll yeahhhhh finally GLXD is back 🙌 I'll buy it as soon as possible. Wanted this for so long but couldn't get it because it was discontinued. SHURE keep making GLXD for guitar players like us🙌🙌❤️

Best test I've ever seen. Great job you two!!! I've used Shure products since the 70s. I guess I like them.

[@PMTVUK]

Thanks! 🤘

[@mrlionel1965]

I just ordered one of these. That’s an insane distance to test. Love it!

Awesome review Meg and Dagan! I watch you from Chicago, Il. I love the content🎸🎸👍🏻👍🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@PMTVUK]

Chicago, a great city! Thank you, Jackie! 🤘

[@casebass2316]

Bought mine yesterday. Great review!

[@joejohnson8966]

Stunning. 11:00 didn't know this

[@GarryWan666]

Hi Dagan and Meg! First comment here! Hope you guys had fun recording it:) Cheers Garry

[@PMTVUK]

Thanks Gary, we certainly did! 😂

[@GaryGraeff-br2pn]

I am totally impressed.

[@evilpicklebluesband]

great test I'm only wondering if things blocking the signal would stop the sound, you always hear line of sight.

[@NikolasGregorOfficial]

10:00 did a drop RF (voice) but I think it was your fault that you have it on the floor

[@backslas_h]

The brewery invited to play the november rain solo🤣 great test though and good presentation. Seems like an awesome wireless

[@jamesr_whiterock_ocmd_3629]

Love it mate 🎸 🎤

Cheers!

[@theirving4]

Just got mine and it's amazing 🙌🏽

[@Floxiiik]

as a complete newbie (I started 1 week ago) in music/e-guitar playing, that is amazing. I hate cables too, if I can make everything wireless I would be happy

[@PMTVUK]

Wireless for sure makes it a lot easier! Best of luck on your musical journey 🤘

[@DWINC]

You can with instruments, unfortunately my home studio also needs 1 km on cables for the equipment and drums. Don’t become a drummer! ;)

[@gustavoacosta215]

Can you guys please answer this question? Can I connect multiple microphones to this one receiver?

[@phil.7064]

Has anyone ever noticed how dagan explains things with half words and half guitar licks?

[@PMTVUK]

🤣

[@marcoblancomusic]

Does this pedal system also work for an acoustic guitar?

[@hekakain4108]

Love my Shure GLXD16, no need to upgrade yet as it works flawlessly.

[@kirbykracklemusic]

Fantastic! I’m trying to decide between the SM58 and the SM58 Beta. Did you feel the sM58 was sensitive enough? Did you need to get right up on it to have it sound good?

[@johnoakleymusic]

Was Dagan straight into that boss streetcube 2 with no pedals at all? Sounded too good!

[@PMTVUK]

Yep!

[@CedricSatterfield]

@@PMTVUK I love my streetcube EX. I use it more as a keyboard/synth speaker but it has enough inputs that I can run from my interface on my computer to the Cube and then play GuitarRig/TH-U, etc through it, also. Pretty handy, and better than using my monitors if I want to play louder.

[@kevinmyles6369]

Hot damn! Where does Dagan get that amazing tone??

He's just using a standard Boss Cube Street 2! 🤘

[@Kcducttaper1]

I'm about to buy my first wireless system and this video answered a lot of questions I didn't have while not answering the questions I did have. Never once have I wondered: "I wonder how well my wireless system will travel over water?" (as if it would affect it at all) - which this vid answered I have DEFINITELY wondered: "I wonder how it will hold up in a venue of a couple thousand people who all have cell phones searching for WiFi on the same 2.4 and 5.8 GHz band while also competing with the array of stage lights." - which this vid doesn't answer

[@IamPJb]

What's the distance? 😮

[@ReyFromCursedBuilds]

Is Dagan getting his tone from the Cube?

Yep!

[@voxproevents6405]

yeah testing in a park or in a empty hall isn't the best. Try to test it in a building with a lot of wireless routers and at least 4-500 people with wi-fi on mobile phones enabled. I bet you'll have some unpleasant surprises

[@CedricSatterfield]

Outside is important, though. That body of water is going to have a huge effect on RF signals, plus the UK is full of cameras and whatever in public- that park may have a lot of wireless around. The 5.8ghz spectrum isn't nearly as congested as 2.4ghz,. Most wireless devices default to 2.4ghz to the chances of finding as much congestion on 5.8 even in a gig venue full of cell phones and wifi is reduced.

[@voxproevents6405]

@@CedricSatterfield well the 5..8Ghz spectrum is less congested but it has shorter distance range and can't penetrate thru obstacles like 2.4GHz

[@CedricSatterfield]

@@voxproevents6405 that’s true, so combining them is the best of both situations.

[@stevesheroan4131]

We’ve done exactly that. Tested in a theatre with nothing but our dual band router, the theater’s WIFI, and our bass player’s older GLXD system (which cuts out occasionally, for the record). Couldn’t get through sound check before having to borrow a ULXD mic from the venue. Returned the GLXD+, ordered a QLXD in the V50 range (VHF, 174-216 range). New venue, same problems, but no idea what was interfering with the system. We had it far away from any network switches or LED lights, which are known to interfere with VHF. Had to borrow an Audio-Technica UHF system from the venue, which sounded better than the Shure (Beta58 capsule) and worked flawlessly all night. I don’t care what this video has to say, the tech is not there yet. My QLXD G50 guitar wireless has been perfect from day one, so my conclusion is that anything that is not in the UHF range still cannot be relied upon in a professional setting.

[@voxproevents6405]

@@stevesheroan4131 i agree, i sold my glxd systems and bought slxd on 823-832Mhz UHF band. problem solved, no more drops, no more headaches :D

[@Josh-ri7hy]

How about a real test. Go to a venue in downtown and test it. You are way out beyond all the competing RF signals.

Did I like this video? Shure.

[@toddtilch230]

(Distance) doesn't concern Me. Solid Signal in a packed Club when 90%of the Audience are on their Phones. Solid signal outside on a Stage,middle of the Day with a Strong Wind is where the Rubber meets the pavement. Plus, all the wifi interface from the Stage light signals.

[@toddmurphy390]

Going across water is not the best test radio and sound waves travel way further over water.

[@CedricSatterfield]

They also bounce weird and get reflected differently, along with everything else- it was a good example test though I agree that it was less of a use case and more of a 'look what we can do....' test. :-)

[@VValenti]

Come on guys! go yo a floody wirless place, like a Mall! You will struggle with you system every time. I had glx for my violin. I performed 1 year. If your system is on lower position in space (standing directly on the floor) no signal 3 - 5 meters. Lot of wifi spots , no signal 3-5 meters.Someone cross you direct wifi signal way with a smartphone... no signal during ...😢 use please analog or digital wirless systems not high frequency like 2,4ghz or 5 ghz . 460-600 mhz is ok . good luck
