B. SYSTEM FEATURES

UB-16 Transmitters

Choice of transmitters: UH-16 handheld or UB-16 bodypack, both 16-channel selectable

• UB-16 operates on 2 AA batteries for the longest reliable and economical battery

life.

• UB-16 bodypack is a versatile unit with unique 3-way input switch allowing it

operation selectively as an instrument, lavalier mic, or headworn mic transmitter

(with convenient DC phantom powering in the mic settings for condensers). An

input level control allows optimal audio gain adjustment, and a locking 3.5 mm

jack provides secure connection to the instrument cable, lavalier or headworn mic

cord.

• UB-16 transmitters features OFF/STANDBY/On controls, low battery LED

indicators, and offer easy channel selection via UP/DOWN buttons and a 2-

segment LED Channel display. C. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

UB-16 Bodypack Transmitter

1. Powering the Transmitter

Slide open the BATTERY COMPARTMENT (19) and insert 2 fresh AA ALKALINE

BATTERIES (20), observing the correct polarity.

Preliminary 01/02

Two fresh alkaline batteries can last up to 12 hours in use, but in order to ensure optimum

performance, it is recommended that the battery be replaced after 8-10 hours of use.

2. Selecting Input for Operation

The UB-16 is equipped with an INPUT SELECTOR SWITCH (21) in the battery

compartment for selecting the type of audio input you will be supplying to the

transmitter. Select from the choice of three positions: GT (for guitar, bass, etc.) / HM

(for headworn mic)/ LT (for lavalier mic).

3. Connecting the Audio Source

The UB-16 is provided with a 3.5 mm LOCKING JACK (22) for connecting the audio

input selected. Connect either the INSTRUMENT CORD (23) or the HEADWORN

MIC (24) or LAVALIER MIC CORD (25) as desired, according to the input selected.

(Note: Use only the input audio source as per the input selected with the AUDIO INPUT

SELECTOR SWITCH or the audio will not be optimal– a muddy or distorted sound may

result.) To secure the connection, turn the slip ring on the plug clock wise to thread it on

the jack. To unplug, reverse the process. Slip the transmitter into a pocket or CLIP (26) it

on to your clothes or instrument strap (if using the UB-16 as an instrument transmitter).

4. Turning on the Transmitter

Turn on the UB-16 by sliding the OFF/STANDBY/ON SWITCH (26) to the

STANDBY position (transmitter on, audio muted) or the ON position (transmitter and

audio both on). The BATTERY INDICATOR LED (27) will give a single quick flash,

indicating usable battery strength. In the case of dead or low batteries, the LED either

will not go on at all or will stay on continuously, indicating that the batteries should be

replaced with fresh ones. To preserve battery life; turn the transmitter off when not in

use. Inside the cover, the channel number on the CHANNEL LED DISPLAY (29) will

extinguish in 10 seconds. The activity indicator “ “ or “ “ LED will remain on.

5. Selecting the Operating Frequency

In order for the system to operate properly the same channel (frequency of operation)

must be selected for the UB-16 transmitter as was chosen for the UHF-16 receiver. Press

either the UP or DOWN CHANNEL SELECT BUTTON (28) until the channel number

indicated on the 2-segment CHANNEL LED DISPLAY (29) matches that of the UHF-

16 receiver.

6. Selecting the Tone Squelch™ Mode

Hold both the UP and DOWN BUTTONS (28) at the same time for 1 second. The Tone

Squelch™ will cycle from On to Off. See the CHANNEL DISPLAY AND UP/DOWN

BUTTON OPERATION section below.

7. Locking the Keyboard

To avoid accidental reconfiguration of the Channel setting or Tone Squelch™, the

keyboard can be locked buy holding both UP and DOWN BUTTONS (28) at the same

time for 3 seconds. See the CHANNEL DISPLAY AND UP/DOWN BUTTON

OPERATION section.

Preliminary 01/02

8. Microphone and Instrument Operation

The transmitter is now ready to use. The RECEIVED RF LEVEL ICON (11a), and

either the A or B DIVERSITY ICON (11b) on the UHF-16 receiver should now be lit,

indicating a received signal from the transmitter. The receiver MUTE LED

INDICATOR (X) should be off.

a. Instrument Use. Plug the 1/4" phone plug from the INSTRUMENT CORD (23)

into the instrument. Verify that the INPUT SELECTOR SWITCH (21) is in the GT

position. When ready to play, slide the audio OFF/STANDBY/ON SWITCH (26) to the

ON position. Adjust the volume of the receiver as per the Audio Output Instrument

Connections section of the above UHF-16 receiver instructions.

(Note: The INPUT LEVEL CONTROL (30) is deactivated and not used when the UB-16

is in GT, instrument mode. Levels should be adjusted with the volume control of your

instrument.)

(Note: Scratchy noises can sometimes occur when some electric guitars with dirty pots or

connections are used with any wireless system. Therefore, the supplied INSTRUMENT

CORD (23) has a factory installed capacitor inside the 1/4" plug. This capacitor

provides first order filtering of the RF signal from the cord into the guitar and eliminates

virtually all scratchy noises. Should your equipment still give you scratchy noises, we

suggest these steps to eliminate them:

1) Make sure all guitar volume and tone pots are clean and all contacts are solid–

this is very important.

2) A 47pf capacitor soldered across the hot to ground terminals of the guitar's

volume and tone pots will provide extra filtering.)

b. Microphone Use (with either a lavalier or headworn microphone)

Secure the connection from the LAVALIER (25) or HEADWORN MIC CORD (24)

by turning the slip ring on the plug into the transmitter clockwise to thread it on to the

jack. To unplug, reverse the process. To use the lavalier mic, attach it at chest level. Do

not place it too close to the mouth–a distance of about six inches usually works best. To

use the headworn mic, place it on the head and adjust the boom so that the mic is about

one inch to the side of the front of the mouth.

When ready to speak, verify that the INPUT SELECTOR SWITCH (21) is in either the

HM position (for a connected headworn mic, or the LT position for a lavalier mic and

slide the OFF/STANDBY/ON SWITCH (26) to the ON position. Adjust the volume of

the receiver as per the Audio Output Microphone For optimum performance, an

INPUT LEVEL CONTROL (30) is provided. Adjust the gain by turning the control

with the supplied small slotted screwdriver. For lavalier mic use, it is recommended that

the level be set at about 2/3 maximum. For headworn mic use, it may be advisable to turn

the gain down somewhat, depending on the volume levels expected. In either application,

experiment and set for maximum possible gain without audible distortion on the high

Preliminary 01/02

level peaks. (Note: Turning down the gain too much can compromise the signal-to-noise

and is not recommended.)

Cautions

1. Feedback

Observe care in selecting P.A. volume, transmitter location and speaker placement so that

acoustic feedback, howling and screeching, will be avoided. Please also note the pickup

pattern characteristics of the microphone selected. Omnidirectional mics pick up sound

equally from all directions, and are prone to feedback if not used carefully. Unidirectional

mics are more resistant to feedback, but pick up sound sources best that are directly in

front of the mic. Also, mics that are farther from the sound source, such as lavaliers,

require more acoustic gain and thus are also more prone to feedback than close-source

mics such as handheld or headworn models that are used close to the mouth.

2. Microphone Damage

Note: headset and lavalier mic users. Microphone element can easily be destroyed by the

buildup of salts and minerals from perspiration and saliva. It is good practice to put a

windscreen on the mic element at all times to protect it.)

3. No Audio

If the receiver is configured for Tone Squelch™ mute the transmitter must also be

configured to send the tones, otherwise the receiver audio will remain muted.

D. FREQUENCY GUIDE
