Synced perfectly with a PGX4 Wireless Base!

The sound is clear, crisp, and everything you’d expect from a wireless SM58. Why did I go with a PGX4? It’s what I have. I have a wireless lapel/transmitter and is a PGX (PGX2) series and they don’t make a PGX-SM58 anymore so I asked Shure if it’s possible to pair a SLX2 with a PGX4. They said as long as you match the frequencies.

If anyone else is interested in this you have to look up frequencies on PGX series here: http://cdn.shure.com/frequency_chart/upload/645/wireless_compatibility_pgx.pdf

Then set your SLX2 to here: http://cdn.shure.com/frequency_chart/upload/657/wireless_compatibility_slx.pdf

For me, because I now have a SLX2 and a PGX2 paired to a PGX4, only 1 of them can be ON at a time. You cannot have both on and mute one.

Lost the one we had years ago for our lectern system, but still had the wireless lavaliere mic. so needed to have a replacement handheld that was the correct frequency for the receiver. This works great and we are very happy with this unit. Highly recommended.

It’s an excellent wireless mic. No rf issues to speak of. My only wish is that I wish the head was Beta 58a instead of the standard SM58. The Beta 58a is a tighter super cardioid pattern which is less prone to feedback.

Works as advertised. My only warning is to know that there are different frequency models and that is not communicated well. The frequency listings are shown as Sizes. If you are in the USA, get the L4 frequency as the H5 frequency model is for Europe. Nowhere on the description is this mentioned and I ordered the wrong one the first time and could not figure out why the Microphone would not work with my Shure sound system. Luckily, Amazon accepted my return of the first one and I ordered the correct one.

We operate a set of 8 wireless microphones in a suburban area so RF congestion is not a big issue. Because of this, the Shure SLX series fits well with budget when we first installed it. There are better alternatives today, but the SLX is still highly competitive.
One of the best features of the SLX handheld is that the capsule is removeable and easily replaceable, so we don’t have to pay for the whole replacement if just the head is broken, and we can swap with different capsule for various sound signature.

I love these units. While not the best that Shure has to offer, if you're not running too many units at a time, they are a solid and cost effective choice. I work in a university Theatre department and we already had several SLX sets with body mic packs (SLX1), and needed to augment our handheld inventory. It certainly made more financial sense to purchase these microphones to use with the receivers we already owned.

While not as durable as the wired version, they still hold up well under normal use (and abuse) in an educational setting. The most damage the older transmitters have received is cracking in the battery sleeve from people screwing it on too tight, or dents in the grille from them being dropped.

We've only ever had a couple internal issues where they needed to be sent back to Shure for service, and it was quick, reasonably priced, and they replaced the grille and battery sleeve as well!

All in all, a solid choice if you need a reasonably priced wireless handheld microphone!
