Shure Brothers SLX14/93-G4
Overview
Shure SLX14/93-G4
UHF Bodypack System, SLX4, SLX1 & WL93
The Shure SLX14/93-G4 is a UHF bodypack system that includes a SLX4 wireless microphone receiver, a SLX1 wireless bodypack transmitter, and a WL93 lavalier microphone. Both receiver and transmitter operate on the G4 frequency band of 470–494 MHz.
SLX4-G4
The diversity design of the SLX4-G4 receiver allows dual receiver circuits and antennas to compete for the strongest possible reception. The SLX4-G4 features XLR microphone level and 1/4" phone line level outputs. A comprehensive LCD display provides Frequency, Group, and Channel information, as well as locked/unlocked status, and battery strength.
This UHF receiver brings unprecedented ease-of-use with Auto Frequency Selection and Auto Transmitter Setup. Including rack hardware and detachable antennas, it's ready for installation right out of the box.
SLX1-G4
The Shure SLX1-G4 is a UHF bodypack transmitter providing up to 8 hours of use on two AA batteries. A 4-pin microphone input jack accommodates any Shure microphone featuring a TA4 connection.
The SLX1-G4 features an infra red sensor that allows the transmitter to remotely sync frequency and channel settings with the receiver. As well, a timed backlit LCD provides channel and frequency status, RF status, etc.
WL93
The Shure WL93 is an omnidirectional miniature lavalier condenser microphone that provides full, clear sound in general speech applications, like broadcast presentations and speeches. It features smooth frequency response, controlled low-frequency roll off, and versatile mounting accessories. Its small size makes it ideal in situations where a visually unobtrusive microphone is desirable.
The WL93 microphone comes with a mounting block with attached tie bar, a sew-on mounting bracket, and an acoustic windscreen to minimize wind noise in outdoor applications. It also includes a 4-feet cable terminated with a 4-pin mini connector, which connects directly to the Shure SLX1 wireless bodypack transmitter.
