LX Wireless System

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

illuminates.

2. Set the transmitter PWR/OFF switch to PWR and the ON/MUTE switch to ON. One

of the three lights on the transmitter illuminates, indicating both that the transmitter

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

the receiver will also glow to indicate the strength of the received signal. The more

lights glowing, the stronger the signal.

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

connected 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

transmitter gain until it flickers only during the loudest signals. Refer to the

Transmitter 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 conducting a “walkthrough” test of the system in the performing

area. If major changes (additional wireless systems or intercoms, relocation

of scenery, etc.) have been made since the last walk-through test, check the

wireless system again-as close to performance time as possible.

SYSTEM FEATURES

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

•

Exclusive Shure MARCAD

Circuitry (LX4).

MARCAD (MAximum Ratio Com-

bining Audio Diversity)

circuitry constantly monitors signals from both receiver

sections and combines them to create a single output signal. The result is im-

proved reception 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 hard-

ware. An optional WA503 accessory kit lets you front-mount antennas.

•

Power/Battery Fuel Gauge.

The LX1 and LX2 transmitters include a three-light

gauge that indicates both “power on” and the amount of battery life remaining

(see page 12).

•

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 trou-

bleshoot RF “dead spots.”

•

Audio Metering.

A five-light audio meter helps to optimize transmitter gain set-

ting 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 receiver.

•

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 re-

moved or inverted for special positioning.

•

Grip/Switch Cover Accessory.

The unbreakable WA555 grip/switch cover ac-

cessory, supplied with all LX2 hand-held microphone-transmitters, prevents ac-

cidental 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.

RECEIVER MOUNTING

SINGLE RACK-MOUNTED RECEIVER (FIGURE 6)

If the receiver is to be located on a table or other horizontal surface, attach the four

adhesive bumpers to the bottom corners of the receiver. If the receiver is to be mounted

in an audio equipment rack, identify the rack-mount kits supplied with your system and

follow the appropriate assembly directions below.

1. Remove two screws from each side of the receiver.

2. Position the large mounting brackets over the holes on the sides of the receiver

and secure them to the receiver with the screws removed in Step 1.

3. If you are not going to front mount the antennas with a Shure WA503 Front Mount

Conversion Kit, insert the plastic plugs into the holes in the brackets.

4. Secure the assembly to a standard audio equipment rack with four screws.

SINGLE RACK-MOUNTED RECEIVER

FIGURE 6

DOUBLE RACK-MOUNTED RECEIVERS

1. Remove the two screws on the outer side of each receiver.

2. Position the small mounting brackets over the holes on the outer side of each

receiver, and secure them with the screws removed in Step 1.

3. Remove the screws on the inner side of each receiver.

4. Position two link bars over the holes and secure them with the screws removed in

Step 3. For the receiver on the left, the link bar should be positioned so that its

threaded hole is toward the front of the receiver. For the receiver on the right, the

link bar should be positioned so that its threaded hole is toward the rear of the

receiver.

DOUBLE RACK-MOUNTED RECEIVERS

FIGURE 7

5. Place the two receivers next to each other so that the threaded holes in the link

bars line up, one on top of the other.

6. Fasten the receivers together by inserting a small screw from the top into the

threaded hole at the front of the link bar. Then insert the other screw from the bot-

tom into the threaded hole at the rear of the link bar.

7. Secure the assembly to a standard audio equipment rack, using four screws.
