THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING POLSEN.

The Polsen ULWS user-friendly 16-channel UHF wireless systems will transmit audio 140 feet (40 m). In addition,
the ULWS-216 and ULWS-216-H systems feature dual-channel receivers and include two lavalier microphones
(ULWS-216) or two handheld transmitters (ULWS-216-H).

The ULWS system boasts many professional features like line input and frequency agility that are ideal for live
performance as well as applications such as interviews, lectures, and electronic news gathering. Both ULWS
systems deliver pristine audio transmission for broadcast-quality recordings. You can choose from 16 channels to
avoid interference. The systems also feature a true diversity receiver with balanced, low-impedance XLR output
that can be fed directly to the microphone-level input of a mixing console.

The ULWS-16 and ULWS-216 systems include a transmitter that’s equipped with a line input that enables the
transmission of devices such as an audio mixer. Cardioid lavalier microphones provide flexible positioning options
and discreet microphone placement.

The ULWS-16-H and ULWS-216-H systems include sturdy, broadcast-quality handheld transmitters that are deal
for applications such as live performance, news reporting, and interviews. The handheld transmitter features a
mic capsule with a cardioid polar pattern great for video applications like outdoors, on trade show floors, or at
live events where background noise can be problematic.
