System Overview

DRAFT

3.4.13

GLX-D delivers superior digital audio in a compact, easy to use wireless system. More audio channels are placed on-air by taking advantage of the
globally available 2.4 GHz spectrum. The compact low-profile design easily fits into pedalboard configurations. Built-in chromatic tuner simplifies setups
while offering flexible tuning options. Advanced frequency hopping technology detects interference and automatically switches to a clear backup channel
to prevent audio dropouts. Channel scanning finds the best receiver channel for wireless audio and automatically links to transmitter.

• Clear digital audio

• Operates in 2.4 GHz spectrum, available worldwide.

• Compact rugged metal construction

• Compatible with standard 9 V DC power supplies (250 mA minimum)

• Rechargeable transmitter batteries deliver cost-efficiency and up to 16
hours of runtime

• Adjustable transmitter gain to optimize audio signal

• Automatically detects and avoids interference to preserve audio quality

• RF back-channel for remote control of transmitter functions

• Automatic transmitter power-off to conserve battery life when
transmitter is not in use.
