I just got off the phone with a retailer and then with Shure Applications Engineering and neither could tell me what the difference is between the FP1 wireless bodypack transmitter and the SLX1 bodypack transmitter. The reason I'm curious is because the FP1, normally paired with the FP5 bodypack receiver, can also be used with the SLX4 hard-wired receiver, and it costs about $35 less than the SLX1 bodypack receiver. If the specs are the same, why not just use the FP1 with the SLX4 to save money if form factor is not a consideration?
I Shure have them stumped....FP1 vs SLX1

You can see the obvious difference that the FP1 doesn't have a display on it showing the channels. If it pairs, and you can live with that, I'd guess that the internals are going to be the same.

You can't change the frequency on the transmitter anyway, so if you keep track carefully, it wouldn't be an issue. Then again, if you lose track, you're in big trouble.

I'm assuming you're talking about the FP1 pack and not the SLX1? Cause the SLX1 you can manual change the frequency.

I am talking about the FP1. In most situations I would be utilizing the IR sync functionality so there's no need to manually change the channel.
