Transmitter

1.

   Use the integrated belt clip to secure the transmitter to your talent.

2.

   Use the included tie clip to place the microphone on your talent.

3.

   If you are connecting to a line-level source, use an appropriate cable to connect to the Line In jack.

Note

:

 The line-level input overrides the microphone input.

The receiver’s RF light will glow green when the unit is receiving a strong radio frequency signal.

S TAGE DIRECTION AND TALENT CUEING

The ULW-96 can also be used as an impromptu one-way voice communication system for stage directions and talent cueing. In this 
case, your talent will operate the receiver instead of the transmitter, and monitor via an earphone (not included) plugged into the 
headphone output. The offstage instructor can dictate directions into the microphone/transmitter unit from a remote location, or 
send the cues from a broadcast mixer or interruptible feedback (IFB) system via the line input on the transmitter.

USING MULTIPLE UHF WIRELESS S Y S TEMS

Since the ULW-96 has 96 channels to choose from, multiple transmitters and receivers can be used in the same location 
simultaneously (up to eight).  Each system that is added in simultaneous operation increases the potential for intermodulation, 
therefore more attention to the RF environment is needed. Each time you add a system, check all of the systems to make sure the 
system you added is not causing new interfearence. A good rule of thumb is to keep 300 kHz between systems.
