FIGURE 8. WIRELESS SYSTEM OPERATION

ESTABLISHING A WIRELESS LINK

When powered on, your transmitter broadcasts an RF carrier
signal. When picked up by your receiver, this signal links your
wireless system and allows wireless transfer of audio signals
from your microphone or instrument. The RF signal is broad­cast steadily , even when your transmitter is muted. The yellow
RF light (T3) and ANTENNA A/B lights (T4N) indicate when this
link is established.

T o test your wireless link, setup your transmitter and receiver as
described in “System Setup”. Turn on your transmitter while
watching the yellow RF or ANTENNA lights. The RF light (T3)
or one of the ANTENNA lights (T4N) should illuminate.

• If the RF or ANTENNA lights do not illuminate, see the

Troubleshooting section in this guide.

Turn your transmitter off. The RF or ANTENNA light should go
out.

• If the RF or ANTENNA lights do not go out after you turn off

your transmitter, your receiver is picking up an RF signal
from some other source. If you cannot identify and remove
this source (usually other digital or wireless electronic
equipment nearby), place your receiver in another loca­tion. If external RF sources cannot be avoided, you may
need a wireless system that operates on a di fferent carrier
frequency. Contact your Shure dealer.

OPERATING YOUR WIRELESS SYSTEM

1. Once you have established a wireless link, slide the trans­mitter MUTE switch to the ON position.

2. Sing, speak, or play your instrument at typical volume lev­els. (The Guitarist: turn the volume control on your guitar or
bass all the way up.) Normal operation is indicated by:

• Steady glow of yellow RF light (T3) or ANTENNA light A or

B (T4N).

• Flickering of the red PEAK light (T3) or TRANSMITTER

AUDIO PEAK light (T4N) when loud sounds are trans­mitted.

NOTE: If the red TRANSMITTER AUDIO PEAK light on the
receiver does not flicker occasionally, refer to the Wireless
System Adjustments Section below.

3. When finished, slide the MUTE switch to MUTE. Then slide
the transmitter POWER switch to OFF. (Muting the transmit­ter first will help prevent audio thumps that may occur when
powering off the transmitter.)

WIRELESS SYSTEM ADJUSTMENTS

TRANSMITTER AUDIO GAIN ADJUSTMENT

The Guitarist: The audio gain control on the transmitter in The

Guitarist system is factory-preset at the minimum setting (full
counterclockwise) to reduce the risk of overload and distortion.
If the red TRANSMITTER AUDIO PEAK light on the receiver
does not flicker when the guitar is played loudly and its volume
controls are turned all the way up, increase the transmitter gain
level. This will ensure the best signal-to-noise ratio for perfor­mance. See Figure 9.

The Headset: The audio gain control on the transmitter in The
Headset system is factory preset at the maximum setting (full
clockwise). This is because the microphone in the WH20 is a
low output, dynamic microphone. It may be necessary to re­duce the transmitter gain until the red TRANSMITTER AUDIO
PEAK light flickers only when you speak or sing loudly. This will
ensure the best signal to noise ratio for performance. See Fig­ure 9.

The Vocal A rti st, P resent er a nd B odypack: The aud i o g a in c o n­trols on t he transmi tt ers in The V ocal A rt ist, P resenter, and Body­pack systems have b een f act or y p r eset a t the mid-range p osi t ion.
This will provide the best results in most a pplications. However, f or
singers or present ers with quiet voices, t he audi o gain may need
to be increased for better signal- t o-noise ratio. Increase the gain
until the receiver’s TRANSMITTER AUDIO PEAK light flickers
when you speak in a l oud v oice. For those with loud voices, the
preset gain level may be too high, causing unwanted distortion.
In this case, the PEAK indicator will glow continuously when
you sing or speak in a loud voice and the gain level should be
reduced. See Figure 9.

• To Increase Gain: Rotate the transmitter gain control clock-

wise with the supplied screwdriver until the red TRANS­MITTER AUDIO PEAK light on the receiver flickers when
the guitar is played loudly, or when you sing or speak in a
loud voice.

• T o Reduce G ain: R ot at e t he t r ansmi tt er g ai n cont rol counter-

clockw ise until the red TRANSMITTER AUDIO PEAK light
on the receiver flickers only when the guitar is played
loudly, or when you speak or sing in a loud voice.

• To Return Audio Gain to the Factory Setting: Rotate the

transmitter audio gain control counterclockwise as far as it
will go (The Guitarist), clockwise as far as it will go (The
Headset), or to mid position (The Vocal Artist, Presenter,
and Bodypack systems).

just the receiver volume control until the output reaches the de­sired level. Rotate the volume control clockwise to increase out­put. Rotate it counterclockwise to decrease output.

RECEIVER SQUELCH ADJUSTMENT

The squelch control on the T3 and T4N receivers is factory
preset for optimum performance. No further adjustment is
normally required. It is possible to adjust the squelch control

setting to emphasize either signal quality or system range:

• Turning the squelch control clockwise causes the receiver

to demand a higher quality signal (less noise before mut­ing), but decreases operating range.

• Turning the squelch control counterclockwise allows a low-

er quality signal through (more noise before muting), but in­creases operating range.

To return the receiver squelch control to the factory setting, ro­tate it to the mid-range position (so the slot is vertical).

ABOUT THE SHURE NOISE SQUELCH SYSTEM

Conventional squel ch circui ts anal yze RF si gnal str ength. C onse­quently, they cannot discri m inate between noise and desired sig­nals. When a w ir el ess syst em i s u sed i n a n oisy R F e nvi ronm ent,
conventional circuits may “open” unexpectedly, sending loud
bursts o f n oi se t hr ough t he r eceiver w hen t he t r ansmit ter’s signal is
weak or turned of f . U nl i ke conventional wi r el ess systems, Shur e
T-Ser i es syst ems u se a n oi se s quelch cir cuit t hat a nalyzes signal
quality instead of signal strength. A special detector monitors the
level of high frequency noise. When the transmitter signal is
strong, the s ystem’s noise l evel is low and the recei ver sends au-
dio through. When the transmitter signal is weak or absent, the
system’s noise level is high and the squelch circuit will mute the
receiver. This virtually eliminates the possibility of annoying bursts
of noise coming through your receiver.

TIPS FOR ACHIEVING MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE

• Make sure you can always see a receiver antenna from the

transmitter position.

• Keep the distance between the transmitter and the receiv-

er antennas short.

• Avoid placing the receiver antennas near metal surfaces

and obstructions. They will reduce system performance.

• To mount the receiver on a flat surface, attach the four

adhesive rubber feet or secure the receiver to the surface
with the supplied cloth fastening strips.

RECEIVER VO L UM E ADJUSTMENT

The volume control on the front panel of the T3 and T4N receiv­ers can be adjusted to make the wireless system output level
identical to that of a cabled guitar or bass or wired microphone.
After making any necessary transmitter gain adjustments, ad-
