The UHF-R£ Wireless Microphone System uses the latest wireless technology, delivers outstanding audio clarity, and is rugged and
reliable. It is easy to set up and operate with advanced features for professional installations requiring multiple wireless microphone
systems.
Frequency Band Selection
Shure offers wireless systems in a selection of bands that conform to the different government regulations of specific nations or geographic regions. These regulations help limit radio frequency (RF) interference among different wireless devices and prevent interference with local public communications channels, such as television and emergency broadcasts.
The system’s band and frequency range are identified on the face of the receiver and transmitter. For example, “H4 518–578 MHz.”
For information on bands available in your area, consult your local dealer or phone Shure. More information is also available at Shure’s
website (www.shure.com).
Groups and Channels
T o transmit audio through a wireless system, the transmitter and receiver must be set to the same radio frequency , or channel. A wide
selection of channels allows more microphones to be used at the same time, since each microphone must operate on a different channel. It also provides a greater choice of open channels—those that are free from interference from television broadcasts, electronic
devices, or other wireless systems.
A group is a selection of compatible channels. Wireless microphones work better together when set to channels in the same group.
Automatic Frequency Selection
The following features scan the RF environment to find the best group and channel settings for a particular installation.
•
Group Scan
•
Channel Scan
Follow the steps on page 11 for instructions on using these features.
—finds the group with the most open channels, then sets all networked receivers to channels in that group.
—finds the first open channel in the currently selected group and sets the receiver to that channel.
Automatic Transmitter Sync
This feature automatically transfers the group and channel settings from a receiver to a transmitter. You can also program other transmitter settings on a receiver and transfer those settings too. See page 15.
Interface Lock
This feature locks the receiver and transmitters so that users cannot change settings. The transmitter power switch can also be disabled so that the transmitter remains on if the power switch is accidentally toggled during a performance.
Audio Gain Structure
The following settings allow you to adjust audio gain throughout the system:
•

Audio
LEDS.)
32 dB of attenuation at the receiver output, plus a mute setting.
–30 dB pad for matching audio levels at the receiver XLR output.
Networking
Each receiver has an RJ-45 port on the back for connecting to other receivers over an Ethernet network. Networking receivers allows
you to automatically set channels for all the receivers with a single group scan command. You can also control and monitor all networked receivers through the Shure Wireless Workbench PC software.
Shure Wireless Workbench Software
The Shure Wireless Workbench software on the supplied CD includes a variety of useful tools for installing and managing multiple
wireless systems. Simply install the software on your computer and connect it to a network of receivers to monitor and c ontrol receivers
and transmitters throughout the network. (See page 12 for more information on networking.)
Instructions on using the Wireless Workbench software are available in the online help files after you install the software.

Adjust the transmitter gain and sensitivity settings
(see page 14) or the receiver output level (page 9), or toggle
the mic/line switch on the back of the receiver.
Cables
Check that all cables and connectors are in working order.
Ground Lift
Lifting the ground on pin 1 of the XLR output on the receiver
can sometimes remove hum or buzz in the audio signal. Set the
GND/LIFT switch on the receiver to LIFT if you are using the
XLR connector.

Compatibility
• Perform a transmitter sync, or make sure the transmitter and
receiver are set to the same group and channel.
• Look at the label on the transmitter and receiver to make sure
they are in the same band (H4, J5, L3, etc...).
Reducing Interference
• Use a different channel or perform an automatic group or
channel scan (see page 11).
• For multiple systems, check that all systems are set to channels in the same group (systems in different bands do not
need to be set to the same group).
• Maintain a line of sight between transmitter and receiver antennas
• Move receiver antennas away from metal objects or other
sources of RF interference (such as CD players, computers,
digital effects, network switches, network cables and Personal Stereo Monitor (PSM) wireless systems).
• Eliminate RF overload
Increasing Range
If the transmitter is more than 6 to 60 m (20 to 200 ft) from the
receiver antenna, you may be able to increase range by doing
one of the following:
• Reduce interference (see above)
• Increase transmitter RF power level
• Use an active directional antenna, antenna distribution system, or other antenna accessory to increase RF range (see
page 19).
Eliminating RF Overload
If you see the red RF LED on a receiver, reduce the transmitter
RF power level (see page 14) or move the transmitter further
away from the receiver
tive antennas, reduce antenna or amplifier gain.
