- How to Set Up Wireless Speaker Sound using Shure QLXD
I've made a previous video explaining how I use the Sennheiser G3 to have wireless speaker sound. In this video, I share with you a new way using the SHURE QLXD by demonstrating it on my Bose S1 speaker and my Bose T8S mixer.
Thanks to my DJ friend, Jas from JAS Productions, for sharing this with me!
In this video, I share with you the way how I provide wireless sound at my events today. I found this to be the most reliable and with zero dropouts.

POSITIVES:
I love how easy it is to find the best channel and group.
Signal reliability and distance are impressive.
Great battery indicator showing 5 bars of battery life so when it drops down, you feel more comfortable that there's still plenty of power left. Compared to 3 bars displaying in other systems.
If you're already using Shure QLXD for your microphones, it's easy to use it for wireless sound, as well.
Battery life of the transmitter lasts a long time! Using Rechargeable AA Duracell batteries
System can be used for transmitting wireless sound or as a wireless microphone.
NEGATIVES:
You still need power to power up the receiver. You can use a battery pack from csnl.com/ for this.
You would also need to buy the Shure WA302 cable to connect the transmitter to your mixer.
If you want to use the system interchangeably, you would need to make sure all your receivers and transmitters are using the same band.
Price, it's pretty expensive.
CONCLUSION:
I already own this system for my wireless microphones, so it's been a good transition to trying this out. If you have the money for it, definitely give it a try. It serves two purposes of being a wireless mic system and a wireless speaker sound system.

Great video and solution. I started doing this about 2yrs ago with the shure blx. Velcro is a life saver.
Genius video man!!
Thanks Barr!
Videos have gotten so legit! Cheers man!
Thanks Ben! Working on getting better. Happy Holidays man!
As always, great tips and your commitment with the excelence. Thanks a lot DJ MoJoe.
Thank you! You're welcome!
Very well said. I too have just started to incorporate a similar solution to those gigs that require a fill speaker without cables. Thanks again.
Thanks for watching! Yea they’re a big help at some events. You’re welcome!
Terrific videoI--! f you buy the QLXD with the bodypack combo, the 1/4 to TA4F cable (Shure WA305 ) comes with the system, so no need to purchase separately. If you want to use XLR, that is a separate purchase from Shure.
Thanks man! Oh didn’t know that! That’s even better!
Wow Genius!!! Great job brother . Never thought of doing it this way cool
Glad it was helpful!
@@djmojoeofficial I have the Alto wireless system.. but using the mic system. Awesome
Outstanding video. Great quality and great points. Would you have any recommendations for more of budget friendly DJs on the Mixer outside of Bose (are they compatible with the T1 Tonematch or T4S?) and the Wireless Transmitter & Receiver Brands????? Keep up the amazing work.
Hi Andrew, thank you! You may want an analog mixer instead of digital. I'm a fan of the Yamaha mixers because they have XLR outs. The MG06x is a good basic one (geni.us/YamahaMG06) or the MG10xu (geni.us/YamahaMG10). I think only the Bose Mixers are compatible with ToneMatch though. But you can still use the wireless transmitter and receivers. Just use the 1/4" out from the mixer and control them that way. Check out Shure (geni.us/ShurePSM900G6) and (geni.us/ShureP9RAG7). That's my new wireless setup now.
Yeah, its working. But, my concern is that the transmitter is made for mic level inputs and not for strong line level inputs. Hope, it doesn't damage the transmitter in long run.
Anyone know if this should be a very strong concern? My Shure system has an instrument output from the receiver would that be better to use???
Thanks bro
You’re welcome!
Very nice video DJ MOJOE
Thank you Tony!
The new Bose S1 pro plus has built in recievers, but I wonder how it would work and if it would be as good. I know the shure is really good about not getting drop outs? Has anyone tried using the new S1pro plus like this?
For wireless systems, I now use Shure P900 and Shure P9RA.
Didn’t know about the Bose S1 Pro. Hopefully you get your questions answered
Nice, but ever think about doing the opposite, like using a small IEM receiver so you wont have such a bulky receiver on your speakers and the transmitter can be rack mounted by your gear?
i was thinking same thing
Hi Ernie, yes, you're completely right. That's why I have an even new wireless setup lol. I now use the Shure PSM900. So the box unit is the transmitter and the bodypack is the lavalier. I'll have future videos on it too!
Hi, yes!! You're completely right. I now use the Shure PSM900 which the box unit is the transmitter and the bodypack is the receiver. Much much better!
@@djmojoeofficial thank you! I'm going to try this!
You’re welcome!
what's the cable that you use to connect the talent cell battery pack to the QLXD Receiver?
It’s a DC to DC cable. I believe it comes with the battery pack if you buy one. You can find them on Amazon too but i don’t know the exact size you need
I would definately use in ear monitor system to do that ! Shure PSM or Sennheiser G4 IEM. That would be cheaper and you just have to plug the receivers that works on AA batteries on the speakers instead of the QLXD receivers that are big on top of speakers, that need external batteries and that could fall.
Good call! I'll check those out. I wasn't aware that existed. I think the reason why I used my QLXD system is because I already use them as microphones so I was just giving them more purpose
@@djmojoeofficial that's what I figured.
Great video! Thanks.
In this video, which mic (system and laverier mic) did you use? Shure QLXD and wl-185？
Shire QLXD1 bodypack transmitter and QLXD receiver. Instead of the Lav, you just use an XLR female or 1/4” to a 1/8” male
Nice video, I got a question how many receivers can you connect to (1) transmitter?
And can I came out of a wire speaker output? And have you try or see the sennheiser wireless system from agiprodj.
Thanks.
I think you can do as many as you want. I’ve used three receivers at once all to the same one transmitter and worked well. And theoretically, yes you can come out of a speaker output. And yes. I have used the Sennheiser G3, but I get some dropouts sometimes. I live in Los Angeles area so it can get troublesome with all of the frequencies. So far, the Shure works perfectly for what I do
I love this Idea but I wonder if you could use the FIFine lavaliere microphones instead and make set even easier and quicker?
Maybe, but I wouldn't rely on the signal connection to be stable especially at long distances. Generally speaking, the more you spend on the gear, the more reliable the technology will be.
Thanks so much a lot of my wireless options suck
You're welcome!!
Why wouldn't you use to shure PSM system and have thr bulky unit by you.
Oh! I just looked it up, that looks nice! Thank you for sharing that with me. Yes, it definitely is more compact as the receiver instead of the box unit. Once I save money for it, I'll get it lol. Is there a higher end version of it though?
Where do you get that speaker stand ?
Try www.kpodj.com
Stand is called Gravity Stands
Were you not happy with the Senheiser? Dropouts with either?
With the G3 I had some dropouts. G4, I don’t own them so I can’t say, but so far I hear good things
I have Shure Slx4 receiver with body pack and beta 87. I have karaoke system in the living room with mixer, amplifier, speakers and so on. I also have Bose S1 pro in the dinning room. I’m trying to use this Slx wireless system so that I can sing in either room and the sound comes out the same in both rooms. How would I do it? Can I connect slx4 receiver to mixer or amplifier in the living room and connect body pack to S1 pro? I sing via Bluetooth though. Thanks very much for your help.
Yes exactly that’s the concept. But I think you have it reversed. The receiver connects to the speakers because you are receiving the sound. The bodypacks you mentioned are transmitters so you would need to connect one of them to your mixer to transmit the sound to your speakers. You would also just need the right cables to do that.
The other system I heard are wireless monitors which the box unit is the transmitter and the bodypacks are receivers (the opposite) but still works.
As long as receivers connect to speakers and transmitter connects to mixer
@@djmojoeofficial thanks very much.
Just bought the Bose t8s and the Sennheiser ew100 g3 wireless system...
I know you used to use that system...how does it compare to this setup.
Nice! The Bose T8S will definitely give you more options to how you want your sound to be, especially more control to your satellite speakers. I have an update on what I use now, it's the Shure PSM900 and the Shure P9RA receiver (kit.co/djmojoe/wireless-sound-kit-2-0-2021). Instead of the box unit as the receivers, the body packs are the receivers which makes things more compact and portable. Other DJs I know use the Sennheiser G4 which work, too. But after watching a video from Ben Stowe, the wireless in-ear monitor are the best to go. So instead of the in-ears that are connected to the body pack, I use the a 1/8" cable to male XLR cable to connect the body pack to the speaker. Works amazingly well and no drop outs!!
Genius

@@djmojoeofficial I meant the pole you use over the column of es1203 for install a light
Oh good question! That’ll be for JAS Productions to answer. Not exactly sure
I don't have the QLXD...but i do have 3 ULX receivers. one ULXs4 receiver. and 2 ULXp4 receivers. and recently began doing this with a body pack that i have along with my Roland BA330 battery powered speaker..it is a game changer! I do worry about sending too much signal through though, and worry doing something like the grand entrance could blow them? or when i turn it up for dancing...i recently just had it hooked up to the output port on my speaker. think i may switch to a booth out on my controller for control though...BUT i didnt know you could use 2 receivers for one transmitter! Does this really work with any shure receiver? or is it ONLY the QLXD?! this will save my butt from having to buy more transmitters! lol
Hi Tony, yes, you can have multiple receivers to 1 transmitter. I believe you want to keep it within the same system. Example: QLXD transmitter with QLXD receivers. But you can use other Shure systems, but make sure the transmitter and receivers are the same kind. If that makes sense.
I just got 2 Bose S1s, the QLXD with the B58 transmitter and an external mixer. I currently use the Bose Connect App to sync the two speakers wirelessly for music via Bluetooth, but realized that the mic audio only plays on 1 speaker. I’m trying to figure out the best way to wirelessly transmit the mic’s audio to both speakers without having to spend a lot of $$ on another Shure receiver right now. Any suggestions for me??? Please and thanks!
Without breaking the bank, this may work amzn.to/3AUfzR4
From your 1st Bose S1 Speaker (Speaker A), you would connect the transmitter to the 1/4” out on the back of the S1 (You would probably need an adapter). Then connect the receiver to one of the inputs on the other Bose S1 Speaker (Speaker B). So this takes whatever comes out from Speaker A to be transmitted wireless to Speaker B.
@@djmojoeofficial Thank you! 🙏🏿 Will you be posting a video of your new wireless setup soon?
How is this setup better than the Sennheiser one you were big on a while ago? this seems much more involved and expensive!
I think the Sennheiser G4 would be equivalent to the one I’m using now. In my previous video, it was the Sennheiser G3. I used this Shure QLXD because I already own one and use it for my microphones. I didn’t need to buy a Sennheiser system if I can just use what I already have. I like how my Shure QLXD can either be used for microphone or to transmit sound.
There is very little different between Sennheiser EW G3 and G4, in fact G3 and G4 components are interchangeable. The main difference with this system is that it's digital giving it a flatter frequency response and with a digital system you don't get the artifacts that are present with companding processes necessary in analog wireless. HOWEVER the EW system transmitters offer a higher transmitter power (30-50mw) whereas the QLXDs don't go over 10mw, so for long distances the EWs might be best. That being said, the QLXD systems when paired with directional antennas still go pretty far.
Do you prefer this Shure set-up to the Sennheiser G3s, and if so why? Also, have you ever used their G4 system? I want to purchase this type of equipment for the same purpose and am trying to ensure I get the best value/quality. Thanks!
Hey! I need to make a new video now on my new Wireless System which I think is better than the one I'm using now. There's this one problem that I had with the Sennheiser G3 was that if the battery died, it creates this loud noise. It did this a couple of times and it was super embarrassing.
This is what I use now: kit.co/djmojoe/wireless-sound-kit-2-0-2021
@@djmojoeofficial I had a wireless sennheiser mic and the same thing happened to me. I then adjusted the quelch settings (I think it’s called that) and the noise was gone.
How is this comparing or is there a reason you stop using the G3?
I have an ever better solution which is the Shure PSM900 (kit.co/djmojoe/wireless-sound-kit-2-0-2021) I need to make a video on how I use them.
The reason why I stop using the G3 was because I had a drop out and signal wasn't that clear. I do many events in the Los Angeles area and sometimes it can get tricky with the frequencies.
Good stuff
Thanks man
Man I was actually needing this last week and may use this method for my next wedding! How is the sound quality? Also did you have to adjust the gain in the body pack transmitter?
Sound quality is great! Can't tell any difference in quality. And no, I just adjust the output to the transmitter on my mixer.
Hope this helps! Happy Holidays
What is the name of the battery pack used to power receiver.?
I got it from Colorado Sound and Light csnl.com/
Can you compare the Sennheiser to the shure wireless?
I would! I just unfortunately don't own the Sennheiser G4 to make a proper comparison
Hi, How are you, I have question. Can I use this method to perform a live concert or to play music and singing instruments?
Hi, the method of transmitting sound wirelessly from \your instrument? Yes, you can hook up the transmitter to your instrument and have a receiver connected to your mixer
DJ MoJoe thank you for the information I appreciate that ....
How does that wireless setup work in full sun?
I can't recall if I used it in full sun before. But as an update, I now use Shure PSM900 as my wireless sound setup. Which do you use right now to run wireless sound?
can you provide a link to purchase a pair of them antennas for receivers??
That, i'm not sure. I can't find the individual parts either. Maybe that's a Shure question for the manufacturer to where you can get them.
The recievers come with the antennas. If for some reason you need to purchase those antennas separately, they differ based on the frequency band. That being said the antennas included are the UA8, again you will need to get the frequency band that matches up with your system. If you want different antennas you can use any UHF directional or helical antenna.
Could you use this to do it? P3TRA215TWP by shure cheaper solution
Probably! as long as you have the right cables for the right connections then I think it'll work in theory
Yes, that absolutely will work, and is preferred as you'll get a stereo feed in the process. However with that system, being an IEM, it will be backwards (the box will be where you're sending the audio and the bodypack will be by the speaker recieving the audio).
@@djmojoeofficial thank you since then i have got it and it is amazing got so many complements on it no drop outs so far so good. You should do a video on it. I also love it as i switch it around and use it to send audio for when i need to precent a video off a projector or laptop
@@justinquinn7995 thank you appreciate
I like Justin Quinn's method better, that's the way I run my setup....3 bose s1's with 3 psm900/1000 bodypack with rechargeable shure batteries and just one psm 900 transmitter by the mixer.
Great video. I’m in the market for a wireless system. Is there a reason you didn’t go with the Alto Stealth?
Does this Shure system work better?
Thanks Greg! I already own the SHURE QLXD as mics and tried to experiment them for wireless sound purposes. If these work amazing, it's hard for me to try another alternative.
I've also heard from someone else that Alto Stealth had a few dropouts. I don't know much about how that came to be.
I know it's been a month since you left this comment. Did you end up purchasing this or something else?
DJ MoJoe I haven’t bought anything yet, but I will be when wedding season comes back. Thanks for the reply
Great video, I also do weddings in Croatia. How are you satisfied with bose speaker. Is it good for ceremony and on a scale 1-10 how do you like it. thnx
It's good! I still would use a QSC K8 speaker for ceremonies because it just sounds better and has more power. But if it's something small and want something wireless, then it'll do. I would say 7-8 for what it is.
@@djmojoeofficial Thank you for info :)
What gravity stand system are you using?
I forget the model, but the light stand/speaker stand from them will work
Is that your new controller? Which is? Like the digital mixer. When you gonna get me one? lol
Yea it’s the Pioneer DDJ SR2! Great controller for my needs. Save up for one lol
How much for the complete wireless system ?
Here's the site to all of the gear depending on what you need for it: kit.co/djmojoe/wireless-speaker-system
1/10th the size, runs on 2 AA's:
www.agiprodj.com/sennheiser-wireless-remote-speaker-system-5.html
Yea, I heard great things about them too. I ordered mine from them a while back while they had the G3s, I had dropouts from them (I live in Los Angeles Area). I'm sure the G4s are better though. I use the Shure QLXD24 because I already own them as Microphones. I'm just repurposing them as Wireless Sound transmitters/receivers.
How do you like the G4s? Any problems after having them?
You think a different high end wireless system would work? For ex, I have the Audio Technica 3000 series.
Yup! I think the same concept can be applied. Just can't guarantee the quality that there won't be any dropouts.
I hope you tape the front screen of the shure so the people dont see the screen light up.
Thanks for the suggestion. It's placed high enough so it isn't as noticeable, unless you're very tall lol.

So official, that price tho lol
haha i know, it's a lot.
