how to install Shure Wireless Microphone System

• Unpack the SLXD25 receiver, SM58 handheld mic, power supplies, and any included cables or accessories. Inspect components for any shipping damage and ensure you have all required parts for your setup.
• Mount or place the receiver in a stable location within reach of your recording equipment. If you’re mounting in a rack, ensure proper airflow and secure mounting hardware. Connect the receiver’s output to your camera, mixer, or audio interface using the appropriate cable (XLR or 1/4" as provided by your kit).
• Power on the receiver and the handheld transmitter. Use the receiver’s front-panel controls to select a clear RF channel and enable synchronization with the transmitter. Press the Sync button on the receiver and hold the transmitter near the front or back of the device to establish a secure link.
• Install fresh batteries or ensure the transmitter’s battery pack is charged. Power on the SM58 handheld and verify that the display confirms a successful link to the receiver. Check for any RF indicators on both units to confirm a solid connection.
• Configure gain and output levels. Speak into the mic and monitor levels on your mixer or camera. Avoid clipping by keeping the input levels within the optimal range and adjust the transmitter’s gain or the receiver’s output to achieve a clean, steady signal.
• Perform a quick sound check in your shooting environment. Listen for articulation, proximity effect, and potential handling noise. If needed, use mic positioning and wind protection (when outdoors) to optimize capture and minimize plosives and breath sounds.
• Secure all cables and accessories to prevent accidental disconnections during movement or action. Conduct a final test of range and stability before you begin recording to ensure consistent performance throughout your shoot.
