System Set Up
Creating Audio Channels
A wireless audio channel is formed when a receiver and transmitter are tuned to the same frequency. The SLXD system pro
vides 3 methods for tuning the receiver and transmitter to the same frequency:
Guided Frequency Setup:
A step-by-step guide to walk you through the process
Scan and IR Sync:
The receiver scans the RF spectrum for the best available frequency and an IR sync automatically
tunes the transmitter to the receiver frequency
Manual Group, Channel, or Frequency Assignment:
Manually set the receiver and transmitter to the same group and
channel number, or frequency
What are Groups and Channels?
To minimize interference, Shure wireless systems organize RF bands into predefined
groups
and
channels
. A group is a set
of compatible frequencies within a frequency band. A single frequency within a group is a channel. Tune a receiver and trans
mitter to the best available channel within its group to set up your system.
Note:
Because groups are banddependent, some systems don't have multiple groups. Singlegroup bands have the same RF performance as those with mul
tiple groups.
All receivers in the same band should be set to the same group. You can set them manually, or use the
Guided Frequency Set
up to walk you through the process.
Connect all the receivers in your system using Ethernet cables. For best results, use a network switch when connecting 3 or
more receiver units.
Important!
To avoid interference, before you begin:
Turn off
all transmitters for the systems you are setting up. This prevents them from interfering with the frequency scan.
Turn on
the following devices so they are operating as they would be during the presentation or performance. This will allow
the scan to detect and avoid any interference from these devices:
Configured wireless systems or devices
Computers
Large LED panels
Effects processors
CD players
Using the Guided Frequency Setup
Set up a new system:
Push the control knob on the receiver and select
