This is the WEIRDEST question probably, but you know how those K-pop and J-pop idols have the little tiny mics coming from their ears? are those actually plugged into their IEM's? If so, how good are those really? I am looking for something as minimalistic as possible. I am just a streamer so I am in a bedroom that's not really treated, there's no band or anything, I'll be moving around a bunch in a green suit all chromad out. I wanted to go to a lavalier but my beard is too big, I have an sm7b but it's not good when you're more than a foot away, and my boom mic is...well it's a boom mic in an untreated bedroom. Do I even have any options outside of heavily EQing something? P.S. love the channel, I just found it and I am recommending it to all my peeps. Videos are amazing so keep it up!

You are the only good source mentioning this system to be used for guitar wireless… how would you compare it with the GLXD16+? I am close to pull the trigger… both have a great form factor, but I am worried that this one is mainly for mics and somewhat will not do as great as a dedicated system for guitars/instruments
@ScottUhlMusic13 күн бұрын
Thanks! And this one is the one I use, but it does output at line level or mic level. So if you go into something expecting instrument level you might get issues, but some people don’t even notice. I go direct or into a HX Stomp and I set the input to line so it’s no problem for sure. This will be more reliable than GLXD+ but the + model is both 2.4ghz and 5.8ghz which is really nice. Both are great. Slxd is a better model though 🤘

Hey!! Came here as I JUST gigged a show with the glxd16+ and couldn’t move more than 7 feet from it without getting audio flicker / interference! Re-sync’d on group 1 and SAME issue. Couldn’t resolve it…moved it away from our router etc…only thing I didn’t try was group “2” which is best for multichannel when having interference….at the end of the day I’m sure the glxd16+ will be great for most, but it just takes one time and the SLXD setup is only $100 more!

Hoping to have the transmitter come out from my DJ mixer, then have one receiver in one part of a field, and have a 2nd receiver in another part of the field. Receivers would be about 100' away from the transmitter and about 200' away from each other....

So can I really use this with an electric guitar to go direct into a pedalboard, a modeler or an analog amp without having, for example, impedance issues? Can you explain how to set the device to be used in this specific scenario, please?

Hi, Scott! Per usual, great content! …had my eye on the SLXD35 as a mini portable/travel IEM set up (XLR plug on transmitter + body pack receiver). I contacted Shure directly to inquire about specs on the system so that I could check its adaptability for my intended purpose, they tried to steer me along to their PSM300 IEM system (I already own two PSM900 IEM systems, I’m not interested in another half-rack IEM solution, especially a model LOWER than what I already own 🤨😆 ). Have you tried using the plug on XLR transmitter (SLXD3) + body pack receiver (SLXD5) as an IEM system?

Thanks! I would agree that you shouldn’t really use it for an IEM system, since that’s not really what it’s for.

I’m looking to buy a Shure wireless system and vacillate between the SLX-D and GLX-D+. It’s for community theatre (200 seat venue) soloists in choir (typical church hall venues) and possibly in my rock band, though we manage fine with wired for small pub stages. I’d go straight for the SLX but I’m in the UK and there are licensing requirements for the SLX-D frequencies and no licensing requirements for the 2.4ghz of the GLX-D+. I’m planning on starting with one mic, growing to a max of three as funds allow. So, small numbers of mics, small venues … would the GLX-D+ be a reasonable bet to avoid having to manage an annual license fee for the SLX-D ?

The SLXD is a better overall system, but the GLXD+ is also a good option. I have videos on both. With The GLXD+, just make sure you don’t have a bunch of wireless already on 2.4ghz and 5.8ghz. Slxd is going to be more reliable overall, but both are great systems

Seems to check all boxes: digital, not on 2.4Ghz, no license required. I’m not familiar with the 835/935 mics but seem pretty comparable to SM58 / Beta58.
