Review Summary
The Shure PGx24/SM58-H6 Handheld Wireless System combines the convenience of single touch remote channel setup with the reliability of diversity UHF operation. Channel and frequency settings are remotely synchronized from the transmitter to the receiver via infrared. The result allows for fast set-up time and enhanced user control. The user-friendly yet rugged design of the Shure PGx systems measures up to provide years of reliable use in halls, houses of worship, clubs, theaters, restaurants, bars, etc. This system includes the PGx4 receiver and PGx2 handheld transmitter with SM58 microphone capsule.
The PGx4 receiver operates over an 18 MHz UHF bandwidth with the flexibility of selecting up to 90 UHF frequencies. The diversity design enables dual internal receiver circuits to compete for the strongest possible reception. The result minimizes noise and RF interference. The rear panel features xLR and 1/4" phone outputs. An infrared port enables frequency information to sync with the transmitter remotely.
The PGx2 handheld transmitter includes the SM58 cardioid microphone head. The cardioid polar pattern reduces pick-up at the off-axis sections of the capsule, reducing noise and providing higher gain-before-feedback response. A 2-position input level switch adjusts input level and reduces noise due to signal overload. The transmitter operates up to 8 hours on 2 AA size batteries.
