320UPR Receiver
After installing new batteries, mount the receiver to your video camera with the supplied shoe mount or hook & loop fastener. Select one of the supplied cables and connect the output cable to the receiver and to the microphone input on the video camera. Switch Ch.1 and/or Ch.2 of the 320UPR to “ON” and the battery level indicator(s) should come on. If they do not, check the batteries. When the 320UPR receives a signal from the transmitter

the reception level indicator will come on. If it does not, make sure both the receiver and transmitters are on matching channels.
30BT Transmitter
Plug in the supplied lapel microphone and clip it to your subject. The microphone should be

placed 4-12 inches from your subject’s mouth. Clip the transmitter to a belt using the supplied belt-clip or place it in a pocket. Switch the 30BT to “ON” and the battery level indicator should come on. If it does not, check the battery. Have someone speak into the microphone as you monitor the sound through the receiver’s phone output. If the sound is
distorted lower the MIC input level on the transmitter. If there is not enough volume raise the MIC input level on the transmitter.

Thank you for purchasing Azden’s 320 wireless microphone system. Depending on which system you ordered this package will contain one or more of the following compo­nents: the 320UPR receiver, the 30BT body-pack transmitter with EX-503L lavalier mi­crophone, the 30XT XLR plug-in transmitter and/or the 30HT handheld microphone
Channels number: 001 to 240 Battery Condition: Using a 3 step indicator – 1(Low) to 3 (High)
transmitter. This equipment is designed primarily for video cameras but is usable with most electronic components having a microphone level input. The 320UPR allows you to “receive” audio from two different transmitters simultaneously.
To change the channel number, use the tip of the tool provided and press the UP or DOWN button until the desired channel number appears (001 to 240). Once the desired channel number has been selected on the transmitter, set the receiver to the same channel number.
RECEIVER (320UPR)
HANDHELD MICROPHONE/TRANSMITTER (30HT)
(22) Remove the battery compartment cover by rotating it counterclockwise and sliding it down.
(23) Insert two fresh Alkaline “AA” batteries into the compartment. Make sure the battery polarity is correct as marked inside the battery compartment.
(1) Remove the battery compartment lid by sliding it down.
(2) Insert two fresh alkaline “AA” batteries into the compartment. Make sure the battery polarity is correct as marked inside the battery compartment.
(3) POWER (one switch for each channel) Switches the receiver CH1 and/or CH2 “ON” or “OFF”.
(4) MIC OUT jack:
In the battery compartment you will also find:
The 320UPR is supplied with both a mini-to-mini and a mini-to-dual XLR cable.
(24) MIC LEVEL Control The MIC LEVEL control enables you to adjust the audio level of the microphone. Using the supplied tool, turn the dial clockwise to increase, or counterclockwise to decrease the microphone’s audio level.
For mini jack microphone inputs: Use the supplied mini-to-mini cable. Plug one end of the cable into the receiver and the other end of the cable into the micro­phone input of the video camera.
For 3-pin XLR microphone inputs: Use the supplied mini-to-dual XLR cable. Plug
(25) UP/DOWN Channel Buttons To change the channel number, use the tip of the tool provided and press the UP or DOWN button until the desired channel number appears (001 to 240). Once the desired channel number has been selected on the transmitter, set the receiver to the same channel number.
the mini-plug end of the cable into the receiver (use the screw-down sleeve to se­cure it to the receiver) and plug the XLR ends of the cable into the microphone inputs of the video camera. Ch.1 is on the “Tip” connector, Ch.2 is on the “Ring”.
(5) LCD Display:
(26) POWER Switches the transmitter “ON” or “OFF”.
(27) LCD Display: The display will light up when the power is turned “ON”. The LCD display shows the following information.
Channel number: 001 to 240. Battery Condition: Using a 3 step indicator - 1 (Low) to 3 (High)
There are two displays, one for CH1 and one for CH2. The display for each channel will light up when the power for that channel is turned “ON”. The LCD displays show the following identical information.
Channel Number: 001 to 240 Battery Condition: Using a 3-step indicator - 1 (Low) to 3 (High) Reception Level: Using a 4-step indicator - 1 (Low) to 4 (High)
To change the channel number, use the tip of the tool provided and press the UP or DOWN button until the desired channel number appears ( 001 to 240). Once the desired channel number has been selected on the receiver, set the transmitter to the same channel number.
NOTE: When using two transmitters with the 320UPR please do the following:

) Make sure that you use 2 different channel numbers that are at least 10 numbers apart. This will prevent possible crosstalk between the 2 channels being used. For ex­ample: If you use channel number 10 for one transmitter, use channel number 20 for the other transmitter. The 2 channels on the receiver must also be set on the numbers 10 and 20.
B) The system will operate properly if both transmitters are in close proximity to each other, however make sure that both transmitters are at least 10 feet away from the re­ceiver, this will prevent the frequencies from overlapping.
(6) PHONE jack: Plug a stereo headphone into this jack to monitor sound - Ch. 1 will be heard on the left, Ch. 2 on the right.
(7) DC 6 Volt Input: An optional charger/power supply and rechargeable batteries are available for the 320UPR. For additional information or to order these products please visit the Azden website at www.azdencorp.com
NOTE: Using a power supply of the wrong voltage/current may damage the unit and void the warranty.
(8) Shoe Stand:
ttach the 320UPR to the shoe-mount of the video camera by sliding it into place. Turn the thumbwheel clockwise to tighten. Reverse this procedure to remove the 320UPR from the camera.
(9) Antennas: For best reception the antennas should be pointed in an upward fashion. Use caution, and do not force them into this position.
or contact your Azden dealer.
BODYPACK TRANSMITTER (30BT)
(10) Remove the battery compartment lid by sliding it down.
(11) Insert two fresh “AA” batteries* into the compartment. Make sure the battery polarity is correct as marked inside the battery compartment.
In addition to the battery, inside the battery compartment you will find:
(12) MIC Input LEVEL Control
This control enables you to adjust the input level of the microphone. Using the supplied tool, turn the dial clockwise to increase, or counterclockwise to decrease the input level.
(14) MIC Input Jack
Plug the supplied EX-503L microphone into the MIC input jack and tighten the collar until snug (DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN). In addition to the EX-503L, other lapel and/or headset microphones with 3.5mm mini plugs can also be used with the 30BT.
(15) LCD Display
This display shows the following information.
Channel Number: 001 to 240
Battery Condition: Using a 3 step indicator - 1 (Low) to 3 (High)
To change the channel number: Use the tip of the tool provided and press the UP or DOWN button to the desired channel, number appears (001 to 240). Once the desired channel number has been selected on the transmitter, set the receiver to the same channel number.
*While Alkaline batteries are preferred, you can use rechargeable Ni-Cd or Ni-MH batteries.
XLR PLUG-IN TRANSMITTER (30XT)
(16) Open the battery compartment lid by sliding it down and lifting it up.
Insert a 9 volt Alkaline battery into the compartment. Make sure the battery po­larity is correct as marked inside the battery compartment.
(17) POWER Switches the transmitter “ON” or “OFF”.
(18) AUDIO Prior to first turning the 30XT “ON” it is best to set the AUDIO switch to “OFF”. When you are ready to begin transmitting, switch to “ON”. The “OFF” position acts as a “mute” that maintains the RF signal but turns off the audio.
(19) MIC Connector/Locking Ring This 3-pin XLR connector is the microphone input. Any low impedance microphone with a corresponding connector can be attached here.
Once the microphone is plugged into the 30XT the locking ring should be ro­tated clockwise until snug. To remove the microphone, first rotate the locking ring counterclockwise and then, while pressing the XLR release, pull the micro­phone away from the 30XT.
(13) POWER
Switches the transmitter “ON” or “OFF”.
