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.

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