DESCRIPTION

The UHF-R is a professional, wireless technology engineered for the most demand­ing touring environments and installations.



wireless systems offer unprecedented flexibility and versatility. Using multiple

UHF-R
frequency bands, up to160 compatible systems can be used simultaneously. Individ­ual frequency bands deliver up to 60 compatible systems per band. The UHF-R also
includes infrared synchronization that allows you to configure tran smitter settings from
the receiver. With multiple system operation and interchangeable components, UHF­R systems also offer a choice of Single or Dual Channel Diversity Receivers.

SYSTEM FEATURES

Shure UHF-R Wireless Systems offer many exceptional features, including:

Auto Frequency Selection/Scan

• Locates a clear channel instantly

Auto Transmitter Sync

• Infrared (IR) sync automatically synchronizes the transmitter and receiver

Networking

Each receiver has an RJ-45 port on the back that lets you connect to an Ethernet net­work. Networking receivers provides the following benefits:

• Makes channel setup faster and easier

• Allows you to monitor and control multiple receivers using the Shure Wireless
Workbench PC Software

RF Distribution Ports

Use the RF distribution ports to share the signal from a single pair of anten nas 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 fil tering keeps the sig nal free from out­of-band interference. Distribution circuitry is active only when a dditional receivers are
connected to the RF distribution ports. W hen not used, the port circuitry is byp assed,
allowing the receiver to be used as a stand-alone component.

Shure’s Wireless Workbench Software

Key benefits of current Wireless Workbench software include:

• Fast network setup of large groups of wireless systems:

• Scans current RF environment.

• Plots RF history, using an individual transmitter to identify potential areas of weak
signals and dropouts.

•Remote monitoring and control of multiple wireless systems.

• Wireless Workbench provides faster setup and more complete control.

• Automatic Frequency Selection Wizard: Will scan and select open frequencies,
applying them to all Shure UHF-R receivers in network (and ultimately to
connected networks of current UHF series receivers as well).

• Comprehensive Infra-Red (IR) Auto Sync/Automatic Transmitter Setup: PC control
of transmitter sync with corresponding receiver. Syncs frequen cy, lo ckou ts, po wer
setting, custom groups.

• Frequency Compatibility Calculator Wizard: By scanning the RF environment and
then considering all networked hardware models, Wireless Workbench
recommends frequencies for all specified wireless systems (including PSM
systems, and competitive product). While this feature has a proprietary slant, a
generic hardware “template” will be available for those users who insist on
networking with non-Shure products)

• The Band Limiting feature allows manufacturer or service center to set Network
frequency band parameters, to align with any country/regional RF usage
guidelines that might conflict with the available bandwidth.

• Custom Frequency Group Creation allows customization of frequency groups to be
used in specific locations. May require advanced wireless aptitude, or assistance
from Shure’s Applications departments.

Architect’s and Engineer’s Specifications

The wireless system shall operate in the UHF band between 470-865 MHz and
944-952 MHz, with the specific range being dependent on the user's locale. The sys­tem shall include the option of changing the operating frequency in order to avoid RF
interference, enabling up to 160 systems to operate simultaneously in the same loca ­tion. Preconfigured group, channel and freque nc y setu ps shall be available to ensure
that multiple systems in use do not interfere with one another.

All transmitters shall be powered by 2 AA batteries and shall have a power on/off
switch. The bodypack will have an LED indicating that power is on. Available transmit­ters shall include: a body pack for use with electric guitars, basses, and other electric
instruments, and a handheld microphone for vocals. The transmitters shall have a
DC/DC converter to ensure consistent performance, even if battery voltages change.

The receiver shall have a user-programmable, menu-driven LCD showing group,
channel, frequency, name, squelch level, and locked/unlocked status. The system
shall use technology such as MARCAD
tion, minimize signal dropouts, and achi eve the best possible sig nal-to-noise ratio . An
equalizer, tone key squelch, and noise squelch circuitry shall be built into the system
to provide optimal sound quality and minimize unwanted noise. The receiver shall in­clude dual RF meters (one for each antenna), an audio level meter, and a Networking
Interface connector for computer control and monitoring. The receiver shall have a
volume control and an adjustable noise squelch control.

The system shall be the Shure UHF-R Wireless.
