Been having frequency issues with my Shure wireless Mics.

1 PGX - group 0 and channel 7 1 BLX - group A and channel 6 1 BLX - Group A and channel 1 1 BLX - Group J and channel 7 1 GLX - Group 3 channel D 1 GLX - Group 3 channel 1 1 GLX - Group 4 channel 1

So I run sound in a small church and the above are the mics and the groups and channels they are on and we are having issues where the GLX mics are dropping signal and make it sound like the speaker is under water.

Previous to a wedding a few weeks ago we didn’t have any issues. Setting up for the wedding they blew a breaker which controlled our router. The router came back online and our networks were there but since this and setting the mics back up, in the exact same places, we have been having issues with them dropping signal.

The BLX and PGX mics are in a back room but no issues with them, through a wall it’s about 15 feet to the mic. The GLX mics are on stage and at the most are 25 feet away.

In my tests I have seen them randomly drop connection and not get it back. But I landed on the groups and channels and seemed to have no issues.

This morning in our service, everything was fine during practice even during the opening. Our pastor switched the mic off and went to sit down while songs were sung.. when he went back up his mic would not renegotiate a signal and he had to switch mics.

After service I swapped them all to the group 2 and different channels and once again during testing it all seemed to work fine. The podium mic is even back on the same group and channel as it used to be before all this started. I turned them off and on again and each time they resynced.

I have a company coming in this week to help get our networking updated and move everything over to 5GHZ.

Is there any other suggestions or things to try?

We have a shure ulxd4d with a ulxd2 mic. The instructions show pictures (no explanation) of an indication to press the scan button, follow by the sync button. It vaguely indicates the appearance of a microphone near the receiver with no description of whether you should be pressing any sort of button or not.

I've follow the "instructions", but nothing actually happens.

I tried calling shure and of course to this day have never heard back.

I don't recall ever having an issue pairing before, I think this is just a different model which I havn't worked with yet.

This mic has both group, channels and frequencies, I cant seem to match them to the receiver.

Please help!

Hi all!

I tend to be a jack of all trades and a master of none, which means I’m wanting some insight from you all regarding wireless gear.

I am in a band.

I own a Shure PSM300 H-band system for IEM’s.

I own a Shure SLXD G-band system for wireless guitar.

I am looking to purchase a wireless mic system. More specifically, an SLXD beta58 system.

These will all be rack mounted in the same case and live on stage.

🚨The up front question: should I get the SLXD wireless mic system in the same band as my SLXD guitar system, or should I get it in a different band?🚨

I’m going off on a rant, feel free to read and critique my logic; but the question above stands.

—————————————————-

Pros of purchasing in same band: •interchangeable transmitter and receivers •Maybe this helps with reliability of signal if they are all working in same band? I think I’m wrong on this one tbh. •maybe there’s a situation where I’d be grateful that the gear is all compatible?

Cons of purchasing in same band: •takes up an extra space in that band •potentially increases risk of no wireless gear if that band has has no room at a particular location/venue

——————————————————-

Pros of purchasing in different band: •no chance of interference •risk mitigation in the event there are no frequencies available in one of the bands

Cons of purchasing in a different band: •wireless gear not interchangeable •maybe there’s a situation I had wished the gear was compatible.

——————————————————-

I’ve done my research in my hometown.

One band has 18 frequencies. The other band has 18 frequencies. The other band has 17 frequencies.

The reality is that no matter what I choose, it’s going to work. But just thinking about if there is any real reason to go one way or the other.
