High Density Mode
High Density mode creates additional bandwidth for more channels in crowded RF environments. Frequency efficiency is opti
mized by running at 1 mW RF transmit power and narrowing the modulation bandwidth, allowing for the channel spacing to be
reduced from 350 kHz to 125 kHz. Transmitters can be positioned on adjacent channels with unsubstantial intermodulation dis
tortion (IMD).
High Density mode is ideal for applications where many channels are needed in a confined area, transmission distances are
short, and the number of available frequencies is limited. Up to 30 meters of range is available in High Density mode.
Setting the Receiver to High Density Mode
To set the receiver to High Density mode:
DEVICE
UTILITIES

ADVANCED
RF
>
HIGH
DENSITY
Use the control wheel to set
HIGH DENSITY
to ON.
When prompted, sync the transmitter and receiver to enable
HIGH DENSITY
mode.
Note:
When the receiver is in
HIGH DENSITY
mode, the following indicators are shown on the receiver display:
The HD icon will appear on the receiver display
The receiver band name will be shown with an "HD" added. (example: The G50 band will appear as G50HD)
The transmitter group and channel are assigned letters instead of numbers (example: G:AA CH:AA)
Best Practices for High Density Mode
When band planning, position ULX-D High Density channels in a range of frequencies separated from other devices.
Use a separate RF zone for ULX-D High Density channels to prevent intermodulation distortion from other devices.
During High Density channel scanning, turn on all other transmitters and move them to their intended position.
Perform a walk test to verify transmitter range
If using custom groups, the groups loaded into the receiver must be compatible with High Density mode
Frequency Diversity
Frequency Diversity is an advanced ULXD receiver feature that safeguards against loss of audio signal caused by RF interfer
ence or by power loss in a transmitter.
In Frequency Diversity mode, the signals from two transmitters from a common audio source are routed to the outputs of 2 re
ceiver channels. In the event of interference or power loss, the audio from the good channel is switched to both outputs to pre
serve the audio signal. Switching between channels is seamless and inaudible.
When the receiver senses that the signal quality has improved, audio routing is restored without interrupting the audio signal.
Note:
WWB6 software offers an option to selectively lock the diversity audio source to a specific transmitter (see Wireless Workbench 6 section).
Best Practices for Frequency Diversity
Use the same microphone type and model for each transmitter
Place microphones within close proximity to the source
Use the gain controls to match the output levels for each receiver channel
If Audio Summing is active, use a Y-cable (Shure AXT652) to connect the bodypacks to a single audio source to prevent
comb filtering
