We just set up our new SLX-D system. We're not sure if we should run all the gain from our Qu-16 mixer or use the "Optimal" level on the Shure SLX-D receiver. We are in a small church setting.
The general rule of thumb is to add gain earlier rather than later. So how does that apply in your situation? Let's start with sensitivity settings dependent on the primary use of the mic we have found that sensitivity between -8 and -14 is a good place to start. Then gain output of the unit should typically be around 0. Most of the time there is no benefit to adding lots of gain at the unit. Then add gain at the console to bring your levels up to that near Unity that we discussed.
@@eventtechav You can? I've never seen that before, can you share a link? I'd love to purchase some. In the manual it clearly states how to lock the pack, doesn't state it needs to be metal or anything like that. I'll have to dig my bodypacks out to check, it's not a feature I've ever had the need to use but I went to look it up when you said it because it sounded strange they wouldn't have included it. Anyway, share the link of the metal pack! I'm quite curious about it. Also, as I said, it does say a lock feature is included on the bodypack in the manual. 🙂

You can lock the transmitter lol. It's the auto lock option on the transmitter. I'm surprised the guy from Shure didn't tell you.
I'm not sure the plastic body pack supports lockout. You can upgrade the body pack to a metal pack that does support lockout.

you add some clips. They are ridiculous
Glad you liked it!
