Thank you for choosing the Nady UWS-1K Series wireless system, and congratulations on your
choice. The Nady UWS-1K series systems are by far the best performance and price value in
professional UHF wireless. They offer clear channel operation on the wide-open, uncluttered UHF
band for interference-free performance in any application or locale. The UWS-1K series delivers
1000 user switchable channels, frequency synthesized in 25 groups and 40 channels in each frequency band. Band-1 748-773MHz, Band-2 795-820MHz, and Band-3 846-871MHz. The UWS-1K
Series system feature Nady’s proprietary companding and low noise circuit for an industry best
120dB dynamic range, and the clearest, most natural sound available in wireless today.
USING THIS M ANUAL
This booklet gives instructions for the operation of the UWS-1K systems: UB-1K bodypack and
UH-1K handheld microphone transmitters, and UWS-1K receiver.
This manual will first explain the benefits of the UWS-1K and then will take you step by step on how
to operate your new system. Each section will give you detailed information. Also, included in this
manual are the system specifications and servicing information.
