within the optimal range. Reduce the gain if there is audible distortion of the audio.

Creating Audio Channels
Awirelessaudiochannelisformedwhenareceiverandtransmitteraretunedtothesamefrequency.TheSLXDsystempro
vides 3 methods for tuning the receiver and transmitter to the same frequency:
Guided Frequency Setup: A step-by-step guide to walk you through the process
Scan and IR Sync: The receiver scans the RF spectrum for the best available frequency and an IR sync automatically
tunes the transmitter to the receiver frequency
Manual Group, Channel, or Frequency Assignment: Manually set the receiver and transmitter to the same group and
channel number, or frequency
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: Becausegroupsarebanddependent,somesystemsdon'thavemultiplegroups.SinglegroupbandshavethesameRFperformanceasthosewithmul
tiple groups.
All receivers in the same band should be set to the same group. You can set them manually, or use the Guided Frequency Set
up to walk you through the process.
Connect all the receivers in your system using Ethernet cables. For best results, use a network switch when connecting 3 or
more receiver units.
Important! To avoid interference, before you begin:
Turn off all transmitters for the systems you are setting up. This prevents them from interfering with the frequency scan.
Turn on the following devices so they are operating as they would be during the presentation or performance. This will allow
the scan to detect and avoid any interference from these devices:
Configured wireless systems or devices
Computers
Large LED panels
Effects processors
