So I'm planning on getting a second shure glxd4r+ in a couple of weeks they will be rack mounted side by side both shure receivers for my guitars will be turned on and active on different channels I'll be toggling shure receiver A & B with an instrument selector so the passive antenna splitter will work for this configuration? Also if I decide to not turn on one receiver and just use one shure receiver does that mean the passive antenna splitter will still work?? Unfortunately I don't have room for a rack mount distribution system lol
Their only use is to identify the frequency of the antenna itself. They tend to fall off fairly easily, but the frequency can still be identified near the BNC connector.
I should be utilizing an active antenna arrangement since I purchased three devices total-SLXD4DIN with K frequency, SLXD4IN with H frequency, and SLXD4IN with L frequency. Can I thus connect to Antenna Distributor as described in the video altogether?
There were a lot of helpful things here. But, I'm not sure I know how to pick between directional and omnidirectional antenna? I'm guessing I'm looking for "directional" as all of the microphones will be on stage in basically one direction away from me. They won't be scattered all over. Is that correct?
No, you can use multiple bands on a single antenna "circuit", as long as the frequency range of the antenna system is wide enough for all of them. Additionally, you can also use the "cascade" function of a Shure combiner to continue to a 2nd rack of receivers, providing the signal to all receivers as well. I have two racks of 16 receivers, 8 of them on the A1 band, 4 more on the A band, and another 4 on the G50 band. Each rack has an 8-channel combiner, with the 1st rack having a Shure combiner that allows for cascading. The combiner also provides voltage to the amplifier on the Shure antennas, which is set to +6db due to the total length of cabling used.
No, as you would then defeat the diversity functionality. However, I have used a single paddle and then one whip antenna in a pinch, and it worked okay, but is not the ideal solution due to a difference in RF signal strength between them.
so this video is brand new and already the links are not bringing us to the tool. Ok I found the 'tool' on my own but got stuck already in the second row because my frequency band (K3E) was not in the list for my slx system. So now I call this video officially crap. sorry edit: Freaking 179 euro for a passive splitter set. You must be freaking kidding me. Now I am going to get me one, open the splitter and show the internet via TH-cam. It seems to me Shure company are crooks. It is impossible that a passive splitter and some connectors must cost this amount of money. impossible.
@@mulisaurus If you want to spend so much money to help the Shure crooks then you search for the tool yourself. I am not going to help Shure one one single thing. In fact I'll tell everyone on every gig I work, what I think about Shure after this price tag for a passive splitter.
What a great video! Thanks for the help

Thank u for the info Paul
Hi there what is the use of the two rubber bands that coming with new Shure UA8 antennas, can you show in a video were they going please

The receivers have to be in the same band, H9 for example?
Hi! That's a great question. Our Support Team will be able to help you out with this. You can reach out to them at shu.re/contact.

@BjorgenEatinger wow! This good to know
How do you measure RF input signal strength(?)..? Is there a tool for this..?
It's usually always on the receiver itself.
Is there a way to have 6 QLXD systems into one UA844 without have to get 2 of them?

What do I use if I’m using one psm300 and one slxd?
Hi! Our Support Team can help you out. You can reach them at shu.re/contact.
Just use the antennas included (1 for the IEM and 2 for the SLXD).

Hey mate where did you find the tool because I ran into the same problem. Thanks for any help.
