Shure UHF-R Wireless
Feature Overview
The UHF-R
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
To 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.
Follow the steps on page 11 for instructions on using these features.
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:
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.
RF Distribution Ports
Use the RF distribution ports to share the signal from a single pair of antennas with up to 10 single or dual receivers within the same frequency band.
The RF ports eliminate the need for antenna splitters or distribution amplifiers. Active circuitry minimizes insertion losses, preserving signal quality.
Input filtering keeps the signal free from out-of-band interference. Distribution circuitry is active only when additional receivers are connected to the RF
distribution ports. When not used, the port circuitry is bypassed, allowing the receiver to be used as a stand-alone component.
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 control 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.
®
Wireless Microphone System uses the latest wireless technology, delivers outstanding audio clarity, and is rugged and reliable. It is easy to
• Group Scan—finds the group with the most open channels, then sets all networked receivers to channels in that group.
• Channel Scan—finds the first open channel in the currently selected group and sets the receiver to that channel.
• Sensitivity (bodypack only). A 25 dB range of gain adjustment at the bodypack transmitter input.
• Transmitter Gain. A 30dB range of audio gain adjustment within the transmitter (affects audio level at the receiver, as indicated by the Audio
LEDS.)
• Output Level. 32 dB of attenuation at the receiver output, plus a mute setting.
• Mic/Line switch. –30 dB pad for matching audio levels at the receiver XLR output.

Automatic Frequency Selection
Follow these steps to use the channel scan and group scan features.
Before you begin...
• Install the receivers in the location where they will be used and power them on.
• Mute all inputs on mixing devices connected to receivers.
• Turn off all bodypack or handheld transmitters for the systems you are setting up.
• Turn on potential sources of interference such as other wireless systems or devices, computers, CD players, effects processors, and digital

4. Press the flashing ENTER button to accept the suggested channel.
5. Sync the transmitter (see page 15).
Networked or Dual Receivers
With networked or dual receivers, you can take advantage of the group scan feature to set group and channel settings for all the receivers at the same
time. (See page 12 for instructions on networking.)
Perform a group scan from any receiver...
1. Select Radio > Scan> GroupScan using the Navigate keys on the receiver LCD interface. The display indicates that the receiver is

2. If you wish, turn the Control wheel to change groups. The number of open channels for each group is displayed.
3. Press the flashing ENTER button to set all receivers to open channels in that group.
NOTE: The group scan feature only works for receivers in the same frequency band. For example, if you did a group scan on a “H4” band
receiver, all “H4” band receivers would be set up, but not “J5” band receivers.
Multiple Receivers—Not Networked
If your receivers are not networked (or in different bands), the group scan cannot automatically set their group and channel settings. However, you can
still take advantage of the group scan feature to find the group with the most open channels and the channel scan feature to find open channels in that
group.
Find the group with the most open channels...
Perform a group scan using the steps for a networked receiver (above). However, make a note of the selected group before pressing the flashing ENTER
button to accept it.
Set the receivers to open channels in that group...
Perform a channel scan on the remaining receivers using the steps for a single receiver (above). Make sure to select the same group for each receiver
before performing the channel scan.
IMPORTANT: After setting the channel for the first receiver, immediately sync the transmitter for that receiver and leave it on so that the
next receiver detects that channel during its channel scan. Otherwise, all the receivers will be set to the same open channel.
NOTE: Receivers in different bands (H4, J5, L3, etc.) do not need to be set to the same group.

Setting Transmitter Gain
Adjust the transmitter gain and input sensitivity so that the Audio LEDs on the receiver peak within the yellow range during use. On the bodypack
transmitter, you can change the sensitivity setting to compensate for different audio levels when connecting different instruments or microphones to the
input.
To adjust gain, turn on the transmitter and press the enter button. Scroll down to the Gain parameter or the Sens parameter (bodypack only) and
press enter again. Use the arrow keys to adjust the setting and press enter to save it (Exit cancels without saving).
RF Safety Mode
This special feature temporarily mutes RF broadcast. This allows you to change frequency settings on a transmitter without accidentally “cutting in” on a
channel being used by another transmitter.
1. Turn the transmitter off.
2. Hold down exit key while turning on the transmitter power (for handheld microphones, you need to pull the battery cover off the handle). The
LCD flashes while the unit is in RF safety mode.
3. Change group and channel settings as you normally would—the transmitter will not broadcast.
4. Power the transmitter off and on to exit RF safety mode.

Automatic Transmitter Sync
This feature automatically updates a bodypack or handheld transmitter’s group and channel settings to match those of a selected receiver.
To perform a transmitter sync...
1. Open the transmitter battery cover to display the infrared (IR) port.
2. With the IR port exposed to the receiver, select Sync > sync from the receiver LCD interface.
The display on the receiver indicates whether the sync was successful. If the sync fails, try again, making sure that the IR port on the transmitter is
exposed and directly faces the IR port on the receiver.
NOTE: Close the battery door before performing a sync on other transmitters.

Power
Make sure that the transmitter and receiver are receiving sufficient
voltage. The receiver requires at least 90 Vac. Check the battery indicator
on the transmitter and replace battery if necessary.
Gain
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.
Interface Locks
Both the transmitter and receiver can be locked to prevent accidental
changes. On transmitters, look for a lock symbol on the LCD and use the
key combinations illustrated on page 14 to turn it off.
To turn off the receiver interface lock, see page 9.
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 (see page 14).
• Use an active directional antenna, antenna distribution system, or
other antenna accessory to increase RF range (see page 19).
Radio Frequency (RF)
Using the RF LEDs
If neither blue RF LED is illuminated, then the receiver is not detecting the
presence of a transmitter.
The amber RF LEDs indicate the amount of signal being received. This
signal could be from the transmitter, or it could be from an interfering
source, such as a television broadcast. Turn the transmitter off. If more
than one or two of the amber RF LEDs are still illuminated, then that
channel has too much interference, and you should try a different channel.
The red RF LED indicates RF overload. This will usually not cause a
problem unless you are using more than one system at the same time, in
which case, it can cause interference between systems.
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—at least 6 m (20 ft). If you are using active antennas, reduce
antenna or amplifier gain.
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.
