UC Wireless Systems
The flexibility and performance of professional-quality UHF
wireless, specifically designed for houses of worship, trade shows,
schools, businesses and club installations. Available at a moderate
price, UC systems can be configured with handheld, lavalier, head-
SYSTEM FEATURES
• UHF Band Operation. The Shure UC System operates within
the UHF frequency band, which is less congested than the
VHF band. Typically, UHF systems encounter less interference
than VHF systems.
• Frequency Agility. The UC transmitter and receiver frequen-
cies can be changed to avoid RF interference. This ensures
interference–free operation, even in the most congested RF
environments.
• 1/2 Rack Receiver Design. The UC4 receiver interfaces with
the HR (half–rack) format to save rack space. The UC4 receiver is supplied with hardware for single and dual rack mounting.
• MARCAD Diversity. Exclusive Shure MARCAD (MAximum
Ratio Combining Audio Diversity) circuitry monitors signals
from both receiver sections and combines them into a single
output signal. MARCAD provides superior reception and exceptional freedom from dropouts.
• Built–in Equalizer (On Receiver). Lets you tailor frequency
response to match other devices in the system.
• T one Key Squelch Circuitry. Prevents unwanted noise from
entering the system, including the “pop” noise that occurs
when the transmitter is turned on or off.
UC Wireless System Specification Sheet
set and instrument cable options. Each UC system features more
than 100 fully selectable frequencies and the ability to operate up to
16 systems simultaneously.
• Noise Squelch Circuitry. Analyzes signal quality rather than
signal strength, virtually eliminating the possibility of annoying
noise bursts.
• Dual RF Meters (On Receiver). Indicate received signal
strength at each antenna, making it easier to identify “dead
spots” in the performing area.
• Audio Meter (On Receiver). Lets you monitor received audio
level and helps you optimize the transmitter gain setting.
• Logic In/Out Terminal (On Receiver). Provides logic interface
with external devices.
• Preconfigured Group/Channel and Frequency Setup. En-
sures frequency compatibility and simplifies installation of multiple UC systems. A “Group” is a preconfigured set of frequencies or channels that do not interfere with one another.
• Optional Remote Mute feature on body–pack. Lets you ex-
ternally mute body pack transmitter during performance.
• Frequency Selection Up to 16 Shure UHF Wireless Systems
can be operated simultaneously in a single installation.
