READ ME FIRST!

To get your system up and running in just a few minutes, follow the simple in-

structions on this page. For more detailed information, refer to the sections of

this guide that apply to your system.

Receiver Connections

1. Attach the antennas to the receiver antenna connectors.

2. Connect the ac power adapter to the receiver power connector; then plug it into an

ac electrical outlet.

3. Connect the receiver audio output to the sound system, using either a low- or high-

impedance audio cable.

Transmitter Connections

1. Open the transmitter battery compartment and insert a fresh 9-volt alkaline

battery. Observe proper battery polarity ( “+/–”).

2. If you are using a body-pack transmitter, connect the microphone or WA302 instru-

ment cable to the 4-pin connector on the transmitter.

Operating the System

1. Press the receiver POWER switch. The green POWER light on the receiver will

glow.

2. SetthetransmitterPWR/OFFswitchtoPWRandtheON/MUTEswitchtoON.One

of the three lights on the transmitter will glow, indicating both that the transmitter is

on and the amount of battery life remaining. Two sets of five RF level lights on the

receiverwillalsoglowtoindicatethestrengthofthereceivedsignal.Themorelights

that glow, the stronger the signal.

3. Have someone talk or sing into the microphone, or play the musical instrument con-

nected to the transmitter. The audio level will be indicated as follows:

-Green lights (3) glowing indicates normal operation.

-Amber light glowing indicates approaching audio overload (should only occur

during loud signals).

-Red light glowing steadily indicates audio overload. If this happens, reduce the

transmittergainuntilitflickersonlyduringtheloudestsignals.RefertotheTrans-

mitter Audio Gain Adjustment section of this guide.

4. Adjust the receiver LEVEL control until the output level is compatible with the mixer

or amplifier input. In most cases, this control should be set fully clockwise.

YOU ARE NOW READY TO PERFORM!

IMPORTANT:

Every wireless microphone installation is a unique situation, and can

present a variety of problems. Never attempt a live performance without first conduct-

ing a “walkthrough” test of the system in the performing area. If major changes (addi-

tional wireless systems or intercoms, relocation of scenery, etc.) have been made

sincethe last walk–throughtest, check thewireless system again—asclose to perfor-

mance time as possible.

sity receiver operating in the VHF band between 169 and 240 MHz. Up to 12 LX wire-

less systems can be operated simultaneously in a single installation. Each LX system

contains a combination of the following items:

•One of the following transmitters:

SYSTEM FEATURES

Shure LX Wireless Systems offer a number of exceptional features, including:

•Exclusive Shure MARCADCircuitry (LX4). MARCAD (MAximum Ratio Combin-

ingAudioDiversity)circuitryconstantlymonitorssignalsfrombothreceiversections

andcombinesthemtocreateasingleoutputsignal.Theresultisimprovedreception

and exceptional freedom from dropouts.

•Half-Rack Receiver Size. The LX3 and LX4 receivers interface with the HR (half-

rack) format, and are supplied with both single and dual rack-mount hardware. An

optional WA503 accessory kit lets you front-mount antennas.

•Power/Battery Fuel Gauge. The LX1 and LX2 transmitters include a three-light

gaugethatindicatesboth“poweron”andtheamountofbatteryliferemaining.(Refer

to the

Checking the Transmitter Battery

section.)

•Dual RF Level Meters (LX4). Instead of a conventional single RF meter, the LX4

receiver has two meters, one for each antenna. The dual meters indicate received

signal strength at each antenna, and make it easier to identify and troubleshoot RF

“dead spots.”

•Audio Metering. A five-light audio meter helps to optimize transmitter gain setting

and lets you monitor audio level during operation.

•True Guitar Sound. Guitar players demanding the highest degree of sound quality

and reliability will appreciate the low noise and uncolored sound of the LX Wireless

System.

•Noise Squelch. This circuit analyzes signal

quality

instead of signal

strength

. This

virtually eliminates the possibility of annoying noise bursts coming through your re-

ceiver.

•Body-Pack Transmitter Belt Clip. The belt clip has a wider contact surface for a

better grip, and firmly holds thinner, more slippery materials. It can be removed or

inverted for special positioning.

•Grip/Switch Cover Accessory. The unbreakable WA555 grip/switch cover acces-

sory,supplied with all LX2hand-held microphone-transmitters, prevents accidental

movement of the power and mute switches and provides a “grip” feel.

•Compact Power Adapter. The supplied ac power adapter incorporates small, in-

line transformers that save space on ac power strips. It also has mounting tabs so

it can be secured to any surface, as well as locking dc power connectors to prevent

accidental disconnection from the receiver.

2. Audio Level Indicators. Five lights glow to indicate audio signal strength. Green

lights indicate normal operation. An amber light indicates approaching overload

condition. A red light indicates excessive audio levels.

3. Squelch Control. Sets the point at which the receiver “mutes” when the transmitter

signal becomes noisy, weak or fails. This control is factory-set at the 12 o’clock position

to provide optimal operation in most applications.

4. Audio Output Level Control. Lets you adjust output level to match the input level

requirements of a mixer or amplifier. In most situations, this control should be set

fully clockwise.

5. Power On Indicator. This green light glows to indicate that the Power switch is on

and power is applied to the receiver.

6. Power On/Off Button. Turns the receiver on and off.

7. Output Connector. Quarter-inch phone jack provides unbalanced auxiliary level

(high-impedance) output.

8. Power Jack: Accepts power from the supplied ac adapter, or from any filtered 15

to 18 Vdc (400 mA minimum) supply. It will also accept the dc power cord from a

Shure WA405 Antenna Power/Distribution System.

9. Antenna Connector. UHF-type connector provides connection to the supplied

1/4-wave antenna or to coax cable used with a remote antenna. They also provide

connection to the optional Shure WA421 remote antenna cable kit used with optional

WA380 telescoping and WA490 cable-type 1/2-wave antennas.

A, B, or both antennas are receiving usable RF (radio frequency) signals.

2. RF Level Indicators. Five lights per antenna glow to indicate RF signal strength.

The more lights that glow, the stronger the received signal. If none of these lights

glows, no signal is being received.

3. Audio Level Indicators. Five lights glow to indicate audio signal strength. Green

lights indicate normal operation. An amber light indicates approaching overload

condition. A red light indicates excessive audio levels.

9. Output Connectors. XLR connector provides balanced low-impedance mic level

or line-level output. Quarter-inch phone jack provides unbalanced auxiliary level

(high-impedance) output.

10.Mic/Line Slide Switch: Controls output of balanced XLR connector. It can be set

for microphone (-20 dBV maximum) or line-level (+0 dBV maximum).

11.Power Jack: Accepts power from the supplied ac adapter, or from any filtered 15

to 18 Vdc (400 mA minimum) supply. It will also accept the dc power cord from a
