SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The Shure UP Wireless System is a portable, frequency-agile, diversity wireless system operating in the UHF band. The UP4 receiver is easily
mounted to a Sony
Series microphones and body-packs.
Both the receiver and the transmitter are microprocessor controlled by Phase Locked Loop (PLL) circuitry for a clear, steady signal. The following
components are available with the UP system:
UP4 Diversity Receiver with internal battery power supply, antennas, and camera-mounting hardware.
UC1 or U1 Body-Pack Transmitter with your choice of a WL93, WL184, or WL185 lavalier microphone.
UC2 or U2 Hand-Held Microphone-Transmitter with your choice of interchangeable microphone heads, including:
R
video camera or any video camera with an Anton-BauerR battery pack. The UP4 is compatible with both Shure UC and UHF
• SM58
cardioid dynamic microphone
• SM87 supercardioid condenser microphone
SYSTEM FEATURES
• UHF Band Operation. The Shure UP System operates within the UHF frequency band, which is less congested in metropolitan areas than
the VHF band. Typically, UHF systems encounter less interference than VHF systems.
• Frequency Agility. The UC and UHF-system transmitters’ and UP receiver’s frequencies can be changed to avoid RF interference. This
ensures interference-free operation, even in the most congested RF environments.
• Camera-Mountable Receiver Design. The UP4 receiver’s compact design allows easy mounting to Sony cameras and cameras outfitted
with Anton-Bauer battery packs. The UP4 receiver is supplied with hardware for mounting to cameras.
• Tone Key Squelch Circuitry. This circuitry prevents unwanted noise from entering the system, including the “pop” noise that occurs when
the transmitter is turned on or off.
• Noise Squelch Circuitry. This circuitry analyzes signal quality rather than signal strength, virtually eliminating the possibility of annoying
noise bursts.
• LED Indicators (On Receiver). Three LEDs provide information on audio level, RF level and battery power.

CHANGING THE TRANSMITTER SETTINGS
Adjusting the Transmitter Gain Level
The U1, U2, UC1 and UC2 transmitter audio gain level has been factory preset to provide satisfactory output in most applications, and it will
probably not need to be adjusted for most microphone applications. However, for loud talkers, the preset level may be too high, as indicated by
a constant glow of the red audio LED on the receiver. Soft spoken talkers may find that the factory setting is too low, as indicated by the failure of
the green audio level LED on the receiver to glow at all.
To adjust audio gain, open the battery compartment and locate the transmitter audio gain control. Use the supplied screwdriver to make adjustments. See Figure 28.
For high sound pressure level applications, such as loud speaking, decrease audio gain level by rotating the gain control counterclockwise (while
the microphone is in use) until the red audio level LED on the receiver flickers only during the loudest sounds.
For low sound pressure level applications, such as soft speaking, increase audio gain level by rotating the gain control clockwise until the red
audio level LED on the receiver flickers only during the loudest sounds.

Some common problems and their solutions are i dentified i n t he table b elow. If you are unable to s olve a problem, c ontact your dealer o r the Shure
Service Department at 1-800-516-2525 (7:30 am to 4:00 pm, Central Standard Time). In Europe, call 49-7131-72140; other international users call
Shure in the U.S.A. at 847-866-2200.
Problem
No sound; receiver RF LED and
AUD LEDs not glowing.
No receiver sound; RF and AUD LEDs
glowing.
Received signal is noisy or contains extraneous sounds with transmitter on.
Noise from receiver with transmitter off. Remove local sources of RF interference, such as lighting equipment.
Momentary loss of sound as transmitter
is moved around usage area.
Make sure transmitter and receiver are turned on.
Check transmitter Power/Battery Gauge. Replace battery if necessary.
Make sure transmitter and receiver frequency Group/Channel settings are identical.
Check receiver antenna connection(s).
Make sure an antenna is in the line of sight of the transmitter . If necessary, reduce the distance between
transmitter and receiver.
Check for proper connection between receiver and camera.
Talk into the microphone and observe the receiver AUD LED. If it glows, the problem is elsewhere in
the sound system.
Check output gain setting
Check transmitter Power/Battery Fuel Gauge and replace battery if power is low.
Remove local sources of RF interference, such as lighting equipment.
Two transmitters may be operating on the same frequency. Locate and turn one off or change frequency.
Signal may be too weak. Reposition antennas closer to the transmitter.
Make sure the antennas are properly attached.
Turn the UP4 receiver to the On (Tone Key Off) position. This will allow the receiver to pass noisy or
unwanted interfering signals. If interfering signals are detected, change frequencies on both the receiver and the transmitter.
Try using another frequency.
Reposition the receiver or antennas.
Reposition receiver and perform a “walkthrough” test and observe the RF LED. If audio dropouts persist, mark these “dead spots” in the usage area and avoid them.
