Shure GLXD4R+ Z3 Description
The
Shure GLXD4R+ Z3 builds on the success of the original GLX-D platform with expanded wireless capability, reduced interference, and easier integration into multi-system setups. Unlike older systems limited to 2.4GHz, this receiver automatically scans both 2.4 and 5.8GHz bands to find the cleanest channel for your wireless microphone, significantly reducing dropout risk in high-traffic environments.
Its true diversity architecture uses two antennas and independent receiver modules to continuously monitor signal quality, while simultaneous transmission on backup frequencies ensures seamless switching in case of interference. This results in a smooth, uninterrupted audio signal ideal for presentations, performances, and meetings.
With a wide 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response and 120 dB dynamic range, the GLXD4R+ preserves the natural tone of your microphone and source audio. The backlit LCD provides detailed status information including real-time transmitter battery life, gain settings, and RF strength. Input gain is wirelessly adjustable from the front panel, streamlining system setup.
Rear-panel outputs include a balanced XLR (switchable mic/line) and a balanced 1/4" output, giving you versatile routing options. You can also update the receiver firmware via its USB-C port. For expanded systems, detachable antennas allow for front mounting or integration with advanced accessories like frequency managers and directional antennas.
