UHF-16 Receiver

7. Connecting Audio Output

The UHF-16 receiver provides both a fixed mic level BALANCED AUDIO OUTPUT XLR (4) and an adjustable 1/4” line level LINE OUTPUT JACK (3).

(Note: As when making any connection, make sure the amplifier or mixing board volume is at the minimum level before plugging in the receiver to avoid possible sound system damage.)

a. Instrument Connection (using the UB-16 transmitter in the “Instrument” setting)

Insert an audio cord with a 1/4" mono phone plug in the LINE OUT JACK (3) on the rear panel of the receiver. Plug the other end of the cord into an amplifier, effects, or mixing board. Adjust the VOLUME CONTROL (7) on the UHF-16 receiver clockwise to about 3/4 full, until the volume level is comfortable for your application. This setting is roughly equivalent to a direct instrument cord connection. Turning the volume up to MAX will provide 4 dB gain over a cord.

b. Microphone Connection (using the UH-16 handheld microphone transmitter, or the UB-16 transmitter with either a headworn or lavalier microphone). For microphones, use either the BALANCED MIC OUTPUT XLR (4) or the 1/4" line level LINE OUT JACK (3).

Plug an XLR connector into the BALANCED XLR OUTPUT (4) jack on the rear of the unit and plug the other end into your amplifier or mixing board. For your convenience, the XLR output level is preset at the factory for MIC level and is not adjustable with the receiver VOLUME CONTROL (7).

(Note: Make sure the volume is turned down when making connections.)

To use the 1/4" LINE OUT socket, follow the instructions for the Instrument Connection (above), except start the receiver VOLUME CONTROL (7) at 1/2 MAX and adjust until the volume level is optimal. If the volume is set too high, you may overload your mixer or amp.

The UHF-16 receiver is equipped with an AF DISPLAY ICON (11a), which displays up to 4 segments, depending on the strength of the audio signal from the transmitter. Occasional flickering of the 4th bar segment of this display on loud inputs to the transmitter is normal. If this segment displays continuously, decrease the volume to the transmitter or overload distortion may result.

Your UHF-16 receiver is now operational and ready to use. Now that you have completed the above steps, proceed to instructions for the Nady UHF-16 transmitter included with your system.

(Note: Only one transmitter can be used with one UHF-16 receiver. It is not possible to use two transmitters on the same frequency and mix the output of these transmitters into one wireless receiver. If you have any questions, please contact the Nady Systems Customer Service Department. See SERVICE, page 18.)

8. Locking the keyboard

To avoid accidental reconfiguration of the Channel setting or Tone Squelch™ , the keyboard can be locked by holding both the UP and DOWN BUTTONS (12) at the same time for 3 seconds. See the CHANNEL DISPLAY AND UP/DOWN BUTTON OPERATION, page 15.

9. Simultaneous Multi-Channel Operation

For simultaneous operation of up to 4 –5 channels in a given application and in the same band, use the procedure outlined above for setting up each channel, ensuring a different frequency for each system. Operation of a greater number of channels simultaneously can sometimes be more difficult as the channel combinations must be chosen with care to avoid intermodulation interference between the channels, which involves more planning than just selecting different frequencies. For additional help and tips to enable more complicated multi-channel simultaneous operation, contact the Nady Service Department for more information. (see SERVICE FOR YOUR NADY WIRELESS, page 18).
