Most countries closely regulate the radio frequencies used in the transmission of wireless in-
formation. These regulations state which devices can use which frequencies, and help to limit
the amount of RF (radio frequency) interference in all wireless communications.
To be flexible enough to operate worldwide, SLX receivers are available in a number of mod-
els, each with a unique frequency range. Each frequency range, or band, spans up to 24 MHz of
the wireless broadcast spectrum. Available bands are:
H5: 518–542 MHz
J3: 572–596 MHz
L4: 638–662 MHz
P4: 702–726 MHz
R13: 794-806 MHz
To facilitate system setup and protect against RF interference, each system comes with mul-
tiple predefined frequency 8$5#>, and ;".77%+,.
When using a single SLX system, the operating frequency will generally not have to be
changed. In an installation with multiple receiver/transmitter systems, each system must operate
on a separate channel. The group and channel system provides an optimum frequency spread
when using multiple systems.
Within a single frequency band, up to 12 individual transmitter/receiver systems may be used
in a single installation. In regions where additional frequency bands are available, it is possible
to operate up to 20 systems simultaneously. Check with your local Shure retailer for information
on which bands are available in your area.
