Key Features

DUAL BAND WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY: Operates in both 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz bands, automatically scanning and selecting the cleanest channel. More than double the bandwidth of single-band systems ensures reliable signal and dropout-free performance.

TRANSPARENT DIGITAL AUDIO: Superior sound quality that lets your sound speak for itself, and intelligent interference avoidance that keeps your signal clean — so you can move freely and stay connected to your audience.

EFFORTLESS SETUP & SMART MANAGEMENT: Transmitters and receivers pair automatically, and continuous spectrum monitoring moves you to a clean channel if interference appears. Plug in and play with confidence.

FLEXIBLE POWER: Up to 12 hours of runtime from the rechargeable SB904 battery, charged via the receiver or USB-C. Running short between sets? 15 minutes of charge delivers 1.5 hours of use, so a dead battery never cuts off your sound.

SCALABLE & LICENSE-FREE: Run up to 16 half-rack systems with automatic frequency management (Frequency Manager GLXD+ FM required, sold separately). License-free operation means you can travel and perform without coordination headaches.
