Sound Check and Gain Adjustment

SLXD4

Navigate to the receiver's Gain screen to test the transmitter at performance levels. Adjust the gain to keep the audio indicator
within the optimal range. Reduce the gain if there is audible distortion of the audio.

SLXD5

Navigate to Audio Out > Mic/Line to select the overall output level for your receiver. Set the gain for the Audio Out and
Headphone outputs independently from their respective menu screens.

Creating Audio Channels

A wireless audio channel is formed when a receiver and transmitter are tuned to the same frequency. The SLX-D frequency
setup provides 3 methods for tuning the receiver and transmitter to the same frequency:
• Group and Channel Scan: The receiver scans the RF spectrum for the best available frequency and an IR sync automat­
ically tunes the transmitter to the receiver frequency
• Manual Group, Channel, or Frequency
channel number, or frequency
• SLXD4 Guided Frequency
Important! Before you begin a scan or frequency assignment:
• Connect all the receivers in your system using Ethernet cables. For best results, use a network switch when connecting 3
or more receiver units.
• Turn off all transmitters for the system you are setting up, to prevent interference with frequency scans.
• Turn on any other devices that may cause interference, such as other wireless systems, computers, CD players, large
LED panels, and effects processors. This allows the scan to detect and avoid interference from these devices.

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: All receivers in the same band should be set to the same group. Because groups are band­dependent, some systems don't have multiple groups. Sin­
gle-group bands have the same RF performance as those with multiple groups.
Selection: Manually set the receiver and transmitter to the same group and
