INTRODUCTIONS
Congratulations on your purchase of the 16 Channel UX SERIES Professional Wireless
System. These systems include a receiver along with a handheld mic with transmitter
(UX16-MC) or a belt-pack transmitter (UX16-BP) depending on the model purchased. The
headworn mic (UXHM), cable for instrument (UXGT) and Lavaliere mic (UXLP) are all
available as additional options to the UX16-BP belt-pack system.
The receiver features true UHF diversity reception. Two antennas feed two completely
independent RF receivers on the same frequency. Automatic logic circuitry continuously
compares and selects the superior signal to provide better sound quality and reduce the
possibility of interference and dropouts. Both the transmitter and receiver have 16 user
selectable channels. The receiver can be mounted in a standard 19” rack (1U) with use of
the optional UX-DR adapter.
The versatile UX16-BP belt-pack transmitter is designed for use with condenser micro-
phones as well as Hi-Z line instrument pickups. Please note that in multiple-system appli-
cations there must be one transmitter per receiver.

GETTING STARTED QUICKLY
If you’re like most new owners, you’re probably in a hurry to plug your wireless system in and
use it. Here are some brief instructions to get you going quickly. With the wireless system
unplugged and the unit turned off, complete the following procedures:
1.
CHANNEL CHECK
Check that both the transmitter and receiver are set to corre-
sponding channel. If multiple systems are used, each system must be set to their own
channel.
2.
OUTPUT CONNECTIONS
There are two audio outputs on the back of the receiver:
balanced XLR and unbalanced 1/4”. Connect the appropriate cables for your system.
3.
POWER CONNECTIONS
Connect the included AC adapter to the DC power input on
the back of the receiver. Then plug the adapter into a standard 120 volt 60 Hz AC power
outlet.
4.
RECEIVER POWER ON
Turn down the Volume control of the receiver as well as the
mixer. Switch on the receiver only. Do not switch on the transmitter yet. The power indi-
cator will light up even though the transmitter is not on.
5.
TRANSMITTER SETTINGS
Connect the guitar cable or mic to the Belt-pack.
6.
BATTERY
Insert fresh AA alkaline batteries into the transmitter.
7.
TRANSMITTER POWER ON
Switch the transmitter to the “on” position.
8.
SOUND CHECK
Do a sound check and gradually raise the level while watching the
AF level indicator. Increase the level until the AF level indicator peaks. This indicates that
maximum transmitter modulation without distortion has been reached. You can adjust
the AF level of the transmitter using the included small screwdriver.
