Audio Level and Peak LED Indicator

The U-800 receiver has a 5 bar AF LCD (7) display that typically shows a few bars indicating normal level audio signal from the transmitter. Occasional flickering of the fifth AF LCD (peak level) on loud inputs to the transmitter is normal. If the AF LCD lights up full bars continuously decrease the input audio level to the transmitter or overload distortion may result.

Connecting the Audio Output

The U-800 receiver has two type of outputs available, an adjustable level ¼” UNBALANCED LINE OUT (19) and a fixed level MIC out BALANCED MIC OUT XLR JACK (22). The ¼” unbalanced line out is controlled by the VOLUME CONTROL (21).

For unbalanced line output connection, plug an audio cable with a ¼” mono (Tip/Sleeve) plug into the Unbalanced Line Out jack and plug the other end into your mixing board or amplifier. Adjusting the Volume control will increase or decrease the audio level at the ¼” Unbalanced Line Out only.

(Note: When using the UB-800 instrument transmitter system, connect the Unbalanced Line Out directly to your instrument amp or preamp. At maximum receiver volume setting, the system output is approximately +4dB higher than a direct cord-to-amp connection.)

For balanced Output connection, plug an audio cable with an XLR connector into the Balanced Mic Out XLR Jack socket and plug the other end into your mixing board or amplifier and control the audio levels from there.

Both the ¼” Unbalanced Line Out and the XLR Balanced Mic Out can be used at the same time to connect to your mixing board, effect, or amplifier. Please follow below drawing for the audio cable/connector wiring.

Your U-800 receiver is now operational and ready to use. Proceed to the following instructions for the UH-800 handheld microphone transmitter or UB-800 bodypack transmitter included with your system.

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.

Note: : Only one transmitter can be used with one receiver. It is not possible to use two transmitters on the same frequency and mix the output of these transmitters into one wireless receiver.
