Shure GLXD24+/B58 Dual-Band Digital Wireless with BETA 58A for Clean, Reliable Vocals
The Shure GLXD24+/B58 is a dual-band digital wireless handheld system built around the BETA 58A vocal microphone, delivering superior, transparent digital audio with the simplicity of automatic operation. Designed for performers, presenters, MCs, and event teams who need wireless confidence without complicated coordination, GLX-D+ combines automatic frequency management with Dual Band Technology to help maintain consistent performance while avoiding interference without audio interruption.
GLX-D+ operates in the 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz spectrum, more than doubling available bandwidth to move away from interference automatically. Power is handled by Shure SB904 lithium-ion rechargeable batteries (Shure proprietary), offering up to 12 hours of runtime and convenient charging either directly on the receiver (charging bay) or via USB-C. The system is designed to be ready to deploy quickly, with receiver tools for channel scanning, gain adjustment in 1 dB increments, and clear on-screen status for battery runtime, RF link, and audio levels.
Real-World Applications:
- Live vocals for stages, houses of worship, and corporate events where clear speech and stable RF matter.
- DJ and MC wireless mic use where fast setup, solid clarity, and minimal dropouts are critical.
- Multi-system event deployments using group/channel tools and interference-avoidance behavior.
- Production rigs needing balanced outputs via XLR and 1/4-inch TRS to mixers, recorders, and amps.

Deployment Details That Make GLX-D+ Feel Effortless on Show Day
Dual Band Technology That Avoids Interruptions
GLX-D+ dual-band operation in 2.4 and 5.8 GHz is designed to provide confidence without complexity by more than doubling available bandwidth. The system automatically moves away from interference without audio interruption, helping keep vocals stable in environments with competing wireless activity (region dependent).
Battery Runtime You Can Plan Around
Shure SB904 rechargeable lithium-ion batteries deliver up to 12 hours of runtime, with convenient charging options: insert the battery into the receiver charging bay when the receiver is plugged in, or charge via USB-C. The receiver display can show remaining transmitter battery runtime in hours and minutes, so you can make decisions before the set starts.
Receiver Feedback That Prevents Gain Surprises
The receiver screen provides practical, show-relevant visibility: group and channel, audio meter with peaks, gain value, overload (OL) indicator, and lock status. Gain can be adjusted in 1 dB increments from the receiver, helping you dial levels while watching the audio meter to avoid overload.
Multi-System Workflow Tools for Event Production
For multiple wireless channels, GLX-D+ supports group-based coordination and channel scanning, with guidance to turn on and link receiver/transmitter pairs one at a time to prevent cross-linking. Remote ID helps identify linked pairs in multi-receiver setups, and control locking helps keep settings from drifting mid-show.
How to Deploy the Shure GLXD24+/B58 for a Clean Wireless Show
Basic Setup (Receiver to Mixer, Then Link)
- Connect the PS43 power supply to the receiver and plug into an AC power source.
- Connect audio output to a mixer or amplifier: use the XLR microphone output or the 1/4-inch TRS output as needed.
- Turn on the receiver. Select a group if necessary, then press the channel button to scan for the best available channel.
- Turn on the handheld transmitter. The receiver and transmitter will link; confirm RF status and audio meter activity.
Best Practices to Reduce Dropouts and Interference
- Distance from Wi-Fi sources: Place the receiver at least 3 meters (10 feet) away from Wi-Fi access points, computers, or other active 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz sources.
- Line of sight: Reduce transmitter-to-receiver distance by placing receivers on stage or above the audience with a clear line of sight.
- Physical placement: Move receiver to the top of the equipment rack for a clearer line of sight when possible.
- Spacing between transmitters: Keep transmitters more than 2 meters (6 feet) apart when operating multiple units.
- Scan and confirm: Use channel scan and monitor trouble spots during sound check; adjust placement if needed.
Gain and Control Protection
- Set gain with the meter: Adjust gain in 1 dB increments while watching the audio meter and OL indicator to prevent overload.
- Lock controls: Lock receiver/transmitter controls to prevent accidental changes or power-off during performances.
- Use remote ID when scaling: Identify linked transmitter/receiver pairs quickly in multi-system deployments.
Shure GLXD24+/B58 is built to scan, link, and stay stable so you can deploy wireless vocals faster and keep them clean through the set.
Why Choose the Shure GLXD24+/B58 from AVMaxx
