Shure's new PGX Performance Gear Wireless Systems, targeted at working musicians and bands, combines wireless technology, automatic setup features and Shure microphones in eight pre-configured systems. The system scans the wireless landscape, identifies a clear channel and then automatically sync's the transmitter with the receiver frequency via an infrared link. PGX Wireless Systems also feature Shure's patented Audio Reference Companding, until now only available in the SLX and ULX wireless systems, eliminating artefacts normally associated with traditional wireless companding. Receivers feature attached quarter-wave antennas, 6.3mm (ΒΌ") and XLR audio outputs, frequency and power lockouts and an in-line power supply. Handheld transmitters are offered with PG58, SM58, SM86 and Beta 58A capsules. The body pack transmitter works with head-worn, lavalier and instrument microphones and cables. Shure also previewed its UHF-R Wireless System featuring networked automatic setup, integrated software for advanced, real-time network control and broad bandwidth.
