Important Tips for Care and Storage of Shure Rechargeable Batteries
Proper care and storage of Shure batteries results in reliable performance and ensures a long lifetime.
•
Always store batteries and transmitters at room temperature
•
Ideally, batteries should be charged to approximately 40% of capacity for long-term storage
•
During storage, check batteries every 6 months and recharge to 40% of capacity as needed
Installing the Battery Contact Cover
Install the included battery contact cover (65A15947) on the handheld transmitter to prevent light reflection in broadcast and
performance situations.
1.
Align the cover as shown.
2.
Slide the cover over the battery contacts until it is flush with the transmitter body.
Note: Slide the cover off before inserting the transmitter in the battery charger.
Setting Receiver Gain
The receiver gain control sets the audio signal level for the entire receiver and transmitter system. Changes to the gain settings
occur in realtime allowing for adjustments during live performances. When adjusting the gain, monitor the audio meter levels to
prevent signal overloads.
23/63
Shure Incorporated
Receiver Gain Controls
The gain can be adjusted by using the gain ▲▼ buttons or by entering the AUDIO menu and using the control wheel.
Tip: To quickly adjust the gain, press and hold a gain button to enable accelerated scrolling.
Reading the Audio Meter
The audio meter displays yellow, green, and red LEDs to indicate the audio signal level. Audio peaks illuminate the LEDs for 2
seconds, while the RMS signal is displayed in realtime.
When setting up the receiver, adjust the gain so that the average signal LED levels are solid green and occasionally yellow,
with only the highest peaks causing the red LED to illuminate.
Tip: If a vocalist is overloading a bodypack transmitter, try lowing the receiver gain. If additional attenuation is needed, use the transmitter menu to set the IN
PUT PAD to -12dB.
Note: Illumination of the red OL (overload) LED indicates the internal limiter is engaged to prevent digital clipping.
Muting a Receiver Channel Audio Output
The audio output of each receiver channel can be independently muted to prevent audio from passing. Mute status is indicated
by Rx MUTED message appearing on the receiver display in place of the gain value.
Note: Receiver gain is disabled for muted channels to prevent unexpected changes in audio levels.
To set a receiver channel output to mute:
1.
AUDIO > MUTE
2.
Use the control wheel to select ON or OFF.
3.
Press ENTER to save.
To unmute the receiver output:
Simultaneously press the ▲▼ buttons or select OFF from the MUTE menu option.
Tip: Audio mute can be enabled remotely from Wireless Workbench or from an external controller.
Important! A power cycle will reset the receiver and unmute the audio output.
Transmitter Input Clip
The following warning displays on the receiver LCD panel when the transmitter input is clipped:
24/63
Shure Incorporated
To correct, select INPUT PAD from the main menu and attenuate the input signal by 12 dB. If the warning persists, reduce the
level of input signal.
Audio Summing
Audio summing allows the dual and quad receivers to function as a 2 or 4 channel mixer, respectively. Summed audio is avail
able on all outputs (Dante and XLR). For example, when 1 + 2 is selected (see diagram), the outputs of channels 1 and 2 sup
ply the summed audio of the two channels.
Choosing an Audio Summing Mode
The following Audio Summing mode options are available:
To select an Audio Summing mode:
1.
Menu: DEVICE UTILITIES > AUDIO SUMMING
2.
Use the control wheel to select an option, and then press Enter.
Note: When set to OFF, Audio Summing is disabled.
25/63
Shure Incorporated
Adjusting Gain for Summed Outputs
Use the gain controls for each channel to create the overall mix balance. The front panel LEDs indicate the audio level for each
channel. If an overload occurs, the red LEDs will illuminate indicating that the internal limiter is active and the display will show
an overload message. To correct, adjust the overall gain balance.
Receiver Output Level
The following table describes the typical total system gain from the audio input to the receiver outputs:
Receiver Output Gain
Output Jack System Gain (gain control = 0dB)
XLR (line setting) +24 dB
XLR (mic setting) -6 dB*
*This setting matches a typical wired SM58 audio signal level.
Scan and Sync
Use this procedure to tune a receiver and transmitter to the best open channel.
Important! Before you begin:
Turn off all transmitters to prevent them from interfering with the frequency scan.
Turn on any devices that might produce interference during the show so the scan can detect and avoid them, including:

RF
Transmitter RF Power
Reference the following table for setting RF Power:
RF Power Setting System Range Application
1 mW 33 m (100 ft.) For increased channel reuse at close distances
10 mW 100 m (330 ft.) Typical setups
20 mW >100 m (330 ft.)
Note: Using the 20 mW setting decreases the transmitter battery runtime and reduces the number of compatible systems.
Interference Detection
For hostile RF environments or longdistance ap
plications
Interference Detection monitors the RF environment for potential sources of interference which can cause audio dropouts.
When interference is identified, the RF LEDs illuminate red and the following warning displays on the receiver LCD panel.
If the warning display persists or the audio drops out repeatedly, perform a Scan and Sync at the first opportunity to find a clear
frequency.

High Density Mode
High Density mode creates additional bandwidth for more channels in crowded RF environments. Frequency efficiency is opti
mized by running at 1 mW RF transmit power and narrowing the modulation bandwidth, allowing for the channel spacing to be
reduced from 350 kHz to 125 kHz. Transmitters can be positioned on adjacent channels with unsubstantial intermodulation dis
tortion (IMD).
High Density mode is ideal for applications where many channels are needed in a confined area, transmission distances are
short, and the number of available frequencies is limited. Up to 30 meters of range is available in High Density mode.
Setting the Receiver to High Density Mode
To set the receiver to High Density mode:
DEVICE UTILITIES > ADVANCED RF > HIGH DENSITY
Use the control wheel to set HIGH DENSITY to ON.
When prompted, sync the transmitter and receiver to enable HIGH DENSITY mode.
Note: When the receiver is in HIGH DENSITY mode, the following indicators are shown on the receiver display:
•
The HD icon will appear on the receiver display
•
The receiver band name will be shown with an "HD" added. (example: The G50 band will appear as G50HD)
•
The transmitter group and channel are assigned letters instead of numbers (example: G:AA CH:AA)
Best Practices for High Density Mode
•
When band planning, position ULX-D High Density channels in a range of frequencies separated from other devices.
•
Use a separate RF zone for ULX-D High Density channels to prevent intermodulation distortion from other devices.
•
During High Density channel scanning, turn on all other transmitters and move them to their intended position.
•
Perform a walk test to verify transmitter range
•
If using custom groups, the groups loaded into the receiver must be compatible with High Density mode
Frequency Diversity
Frequency diversity is an advanced ULXD receiver feature that safeguards against loss of audio signal caused by RF interfer
ence or by power loss in a transmitter.
In frequency diversity mode, the signals from two transmitters from a common audio source are routed to the outputs of 2 re
ceiver channels. In the event of interference or power loss, the audio from the good channel is switched to both outputs to pre
serve the audio signal. Switching between channels is seamless and inaudible.
When the receiver senses that the signal quality has improved, audio routing is restored without interrupting the audio signal.
Note: In Wireless Workbench, you can selectively lock the diversity audio source to a specific transmitter. See "Lock or Unlock a Frequency Diversity Channel"
in the Wireless Workbench help system for more on this.
Best Practices for Frequency Diversity
•
Use the same microphone type and model for each transmitter
•
Place microphones within close proximity to the source
•
Use the gain controls to match the output levels for each receiver channel
•
If audio summing is active, use a Y-cable (Shure AXT652) to connect the bodypacks to a single audio source to prevent
comb filtering

Assigning Network Device IDs for Shure Control and Dante Control
When using the receiver in a network with Shure Control (Wireless Workbench) and a Dante Controller, two Device IDs are re
quired: one for Shure Control and one for Dante Control. Device IDs are used to identify devices on the network and for creat
ing Dante digital audio routes.
Best Practices
Using the following best practices will help to organize network setup and ease troubleshooting.
•
For consistency, convenience, and easy troubleshooting, use the same device ID for both Wireless Workbench (Shure
Control) and for the Dante network.
•
The Dante network requires unique Dante device IDs to prevent a loss of audio signal routing. Any duplicate IDs on the
network will be tagged with a number such as -1, -2, -3, etc.... and must be changed to a unique value.
•
Wireless Workbench (Shure Control) does not require unique device IDs and duplicates do not affect the Dante network;
however, a best practice is to use unique device IDs.
Setting the Shure Control Device ID
1.
Launch Wireless Workbench.
2.
In the inventory, double-click the device ID to edit it.
Tip: Click the device icon next to the channel name flash the front panel and identify the receiver.
40/63
Shure Incorporated
You can also update the Shure control device ID from the receiver front panel:
1.
From the receiver menu: DEVICE UTILITIES > NETWORK > SHURE CONTROL > Dev. ID
2.
Use the control wheel to edit the ID.
3.
Press ENTER to save.
Creating a Dante Device ID
There are two ways to create a Dante ID:
1.
Enter the ID using the receiver menu.
2.
Enter the ID using a keyboard from the Dante controller.
If entering IDs from the receiver menu, additional ID modes are available for quickly adding sequential numbering to multiple
receivers or adding a prefixes for network discovery by Dante enabled Yamaha mixing consoles.
Note: Changing the Dante ID will cause a loss of audio signal. After an ID has been changed, use the Dante controller to restore audio route subscriptions us
ing the new ID.
Setting the Device ID from the receiver menu:
1.
DEVICE UTILITIES > NETWORK > DANTE > Dev. ID
2.
Use the control wheel to select an ID MODE:
◦
Off: Manually enter an ID by using the control wheel. Press ENTER to save.
◦
Sequential: Adds a 3-digit numerical prefix to the receiver model name to create the device ID. (ex: 001-Shure-
ULXD). Use the control wheel to increment the prefix value. Press ENTER to save.
◦
Yamaha: Adds a prefix starting with "Y" followed by 3-digits to the receiver model name to create a device ID that
allows Dante enabled Yamaha mixing consoles to discover ULX-D receivers on a Dante network. (ex: Y001-Shure-
ULXD). Use the control wheel to increment the prefix numerical value. Press ENTER to save.
Entering the Device ID from the Dante controller:
1.
Open the Device View and select the receiver from the pulldown menu.
2.
Click on the Device Config tab.
3.
Enter the ID in the Rename Device box and press ENTER.
Viewing Dante Device IDs in the Dante Controller
Dante device IDs are displayed in the Network View window in the Dante Controller.
1.
Launch the Dante controller and open the Network View window.
2.
Verify that the Dante device IDs match the IDs entered in the receiver.
Identify Device Feature
The Dante controller's Identify Device feature flashes the front panel LEDs of a selected receiver to provide identification when
multiple receivers are in use.
Open the Device View in the Dante controller and click on the identify icon (eye). The front panel LEDs of the selected receiver
will respond by flashing.
Route Audio with Dante Controller
In Dante Controller, devices are categorized as "transmitters" and "receivers"
In order for audio to flow in the network, audio routes (subscriptions) must be configured between transmitters and receivers.
To learn about creating subscriptions between devices, see the Dante Controller user guide.
Note: ULX-D receivers will appear in Dante Controller as a transmitter. Devices that have both inputs and outputs commonly appear as both transmitters and
receivers.

Power
Make sure that the receiver and transmitter are receiving sufficient voltage. Check the battery indicators and replace the trans
mitter batteries if necessary.
Gain
Adjust the system gain on the front of the receiver. Ensure the output level (XLR output only) on the back of the receiver corre
sponds to the input of the mixing console, amplifier, or DSP.
Cables
Check that all cables and connectors are working correctly.
Interface Locks
The transmitter and the receiver can be locked to prevent accidental or unauthorized changes. A locked feature or button will
produce the Locked screen on the LCD panel.
Encryption Mismatch
Re-sync all receivers and transmitters after enabling or disabling encryption.

Shure Incorporated
Firmware Mismatch
Paired transmitters and receivers must have the same firmware version installed to ensure consistent operation. See the
Firmware topic for firmware update procedure.
Tx Battery Hot
If the transmitter battery does not cool off, the transmitter will shut down. Let the device cool down and then consider swapping
the transmitter battery to continue operation.
Identify any possible external heat sources to the transmitter and operate the transmitter away from those external heat
sources.
All batteries should be stored and operated away from external heat sources in reasonable temperature conditions for best
performance.
Radio Frequency (RF)
RF LEDs
If neither blue RF Diversity LED is illuminated, then the receiver is not detecting the presence of a transmitter.
The amber RF Signal Strength LEDs indicate the amount of RF power being received. This signal could be from the transmit
ter, or it could be from an interfering source, such as a television broadcast. If more than one or two of the amber RF
LEDs are still illuminated while the transmitter is off, then that channel has too much interference, and you should try a differ
ent 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 in the other system.
Compatibility
•
Perform a Scan and Sync to ensure 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 (G50, J50, L50, etc...).
Reducing Interference
•
Perform a group or channel scan to find the best open frequency. Perform a sync to transfer the setting to the transmitter.
•
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 (see below).
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 Normal mode instead of High Density mode.
•
Use an active directional antenna, antenna distribution system, or other antenna accessory to increase RF range.
46/63
Eliminating RF Overload
If you see the red RF LED on a receiver, try the following:
•
Reduce the transmitter RF power level
•
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.
•
Use omnidirectional antennas
Antenna Faults
The Antenna Fault message indicates a short circuit condition at an antenna port.
•
Check antennas and cables for damage
•
Ensure that antenna ports are not overloaded
•
Check antenna bias voltage setting. Turn off voltage if using passive antennas.
