How to Set Up Wireless Sound For Your DJ Speaker

How to Set Up Wireless Sound For Your DJ Speaker

How to Set Up Wireless Speaker Sound using Shure QLXD

I've made a previous video explaining how I use the Sennheiser G3 to have wireless speaker sound. In this video, I share with you a new way using the SHURE QLXD by demonstrating it on my Bose S1 speaker and my Bose T8S mixer.

Thanks to my DJ friend, Jas from JAS Productions, for sharing this with me!

In this video, I share with you the way how I provide wireless sound at my events today. I found this to be the most reliable and with zero dropouts.

POSITIVES:

I love how easy it is to find the best channel and group.
Signal reliability and distance are impressive.
Great battery indicator showing 5 bars of battery life so when it drops down, you feel more comfortable that there's still plenty of power left. Compared to 3 bars displaying in other systems.
If you're already using Shure QLXD for your microphones, it's easy to use it for wireless sound, as well.
Battery life of the transmitter lasts a long time! Using Rechargeable AA Duracell batteries.
System can be used for transmitting wireless sound or as a wireless microphone.

NEGATIVES:

You still need power to power up the receiver. You can use a battery pack from https://csnl.com/ for this.
You would also need to buy the Shure WA302 cable to connect the transmitter to your mixer.
If you want to use the system interchangeably, you would need to make sure all your receivers and transmitters are using the same band.Price, it's pretty expensive.

CONCLUSION:

I already own this system for my wireless microphones, so it's been a good transition to trying this out. If you have the money for it, definitely give it a try. It serves two purposes of being a wireless mic system and a wireless speaker sound system.
