simply flawless, works. like a charm.sound quality pro studio like

No dropouts and Pastor sounds loud and clear

Shure hit a home-run with these wireless systems- The overall package, from wireless workbench support, to the all-metal transmitters, to the SB900 batteries, is very attractive.I have been using a few of these systems for awhile now in different environments with great success. As long as you have a proper antenna configuration, these just work with no drama. The all-metal transmitters are very robust and I am confident that I can depend on them for many years. The SB900 batteries and charging docks allow you to completely forget about batteries. The wireless workbench integration has fundamentally changed how I do wireless. The system-wide gain control on the receiver has forever but behind us the days of trying to set the transmitter gain and being frustrated when you realize mid-show that it's *WAY* too hot, and the fact that you can control this gain setting from a computer at front of house while the receivers are in a backstage rack is just phenomenal. Even though these don't have the high-density mode that the ULXD's boast, you still can fit an impressive 17 channels in an open 6MHz TV channel. The sound quality of these is quite impressive for a wireless system as well, beating my UHF-R systems- you can really hear the difference when you use a condenser like the B87A capsule or a countryman E6.For those that do not know, QLXD uses the exact same technology as ULXD but with some features removed to get the price down. Therefore, a QLXD system will sound the same and have the same RF performance (with the exception of high-density mode) as a ULXD system. In fact, transmitters and receivers are interchangeable between the 2 systems- QLXD transmitters can be used with ULXD receivers and visa-versa HOWEVER you loose the ability to sync (you can't do firmware upgrades nor use encryption) and the functionality is reduced to the lesser wireless system (aka you loose high-density mode). The features that ULXD has that QLXD doesn't have (to my knowledge) are: High-density mode (fit over 40 transmitters in 6MHz), dual and quad channel receiver options (of which have antenna cascade and supply DC bias voltage), Dante support on dual and quad channel receivers, better screens on the receivers, the ability to communicate across TCP/IP subnets. Most of those features cater to a setup using large channel counts, so if you don't need any of those, QLXD will perform every bit as good.

I am a fan of Shure products. I am still trying to order alot of my mic system. This is the 3rd time i have order these items. Apparently someone decides what looks like a legit order or not. I will give it one more try then go somewhere else.
