UX-1610 Wireless System

The UX-1610 diversity UHF series wireless system is a high quality audio product that has built in noise reduction and utilizes the diversity reception technique. Diversity receivers contain two completely independent receivers tuned to the same frequency within a single chassis. An internal processor compares the signal strengths at the output of each receiver and determines which receiver has the clearest and strongest signal, and then that signal is directed to the audio output. This is an automatic function that can be monitored by watching the A-B diversity indicators on the front panel of the receiver.

The systems available all operate on a UHF high band frequency between 790.375 MHZ to 805.875 MHZ.

The systems available are:

UX-1610M- equipped with the UM-68hand held microphone transmitter.

UX-1610L- equipped with the UB-68Lbelt pack transmitter with lavalier mic.

UX-1610H- equipped with the UB-68Hbelt pack transmitter with headset mic.

Receiver Operation

1.Remove all packing materials. Save the box and packing material to transport the unit in the unlikely event that the unit requires service.

2.The UX-1610 has 16 selectable frequencies so that you can choose the one with the least amount of interference. The illustration shows the dip switch settings for the 16 frequencies.

Set the dip switches on the receiver and the belt pack transmitter or hand held mic transmitter to matching frequencies. The dip switches for the receiver are located on the front panel. The dip switches for the belt pack transmitter are located on the side of the belt pack. The dip switches for the hand held mic can be accessed by opening the battery holder on the side of the mic.

3.Plug the AC adapter into the rear of the receiver where the jack is labeled DC 12-18V. Then plug the adapter into an appropriate AC outlet. Note: The adapter is available in 120V AC or 230V AC.

4.The receiver is supplied with 2 output jacks. The UNBALANCED OUTPUT is used to connect the receiver to your amp, effects or mixer mic jack using a standard mic cable with a 1/4” connector. The BAL- ANCED OUTPUT is used to connect the receiver to your amp, effects or mixer mic jack using a standard mic cable with a XLR connector. We recommend using the balanced output if the cable to your amp, effects or mixer mic jack is 10 feet or more. The BALANCED OUTPUT has three separate conductors, two of which are signal (positive and negative) and one shield (ground). Pin 1 is ground (shield). Pin 2 is signal hot (positive). Pin 3 is signal cold (negative).

5.Point the antenna upward. Switch the power to the ON position.

6.Adjust the volume using the LEVEL control on the front panel.

7.Adjusting the squelch on the receiver can eliminate such problems as bleeding that occurs from using several systems at the same time or interference from local television. To adjust the squelch, place the small plastic tool (included with the unit) in the hole marked SQUELCH at the back of the unit, and slowly turn the tool to adjust the output level to just above the level of background noise. Setting the squelch too high will reduce the range of the system. Setting the squelch too low will increase the level of unwanted noise.

Hand Held Transmitter Features

•High sensitivity cardioid capsule for professional use

•Special noise absorption material inside the mic barrel eliminates switch shock and handling noise

Cautions

1.Do not drop the microphone element.

2.Do not strike the microphone element with your fist or fingers, and do not blow strongly into the microphone head front.

3.Do not use the microphone in areas of high humidity and/or high temperature as this could lead to damage of the microphone.
