5. Mute Adjustment

The receiver has two audio mute circuits.

a. The Tone Squelch™ blocks the audio noise when the channel signaling tones are not present. It helps avoid interferences from unwanted transmissions. This feature is strongly recommended for situations where the transmitter is turned on and off during use. Without Tone Squelch™ , an unwanted signal may enter your inactive receiver when your transmitter is switched off. You then risk a pop or disruptive noise coming from your sound system. This type of interference is eliminated by the Tone Squelch™ . The receiver detects a tone signal coming from your transmitter, which opens the squelch, allowing your modulated signal to be heard. This feature is selectable and not recommended for applications where the transmitter will always be on, or for use with instruments.

The Tone Squelch™ mode can be configured with the Up/Down buttons. See CHANNEL DISPLAY AND UP/DOWN BUTTON OPERATION, page 15.

(Note: If the receiver is configured for Tone Squelch™ mute, the transmitter must also be configured to send the tones, otherwise the receiver audio will remain muted. The signaling tones are also used to display the transmitter battery status. If the Tone Squelch™ is defeated, this function will not be operational.)

b. The Receive Level Mute blocks audio noise when the received signal level is too low, or interfering transmissions are high.

A MUTE (RF SQUELCH) CONTROL (13) is provided on the front panel. This control should be adjusted counterclockwise to the minimum position at which there is no audio output signal from the receiver when your transmitter is not in use. This is the most sensitive setting for your receiver and offers the maximum operating range. However, in areas of high RF activity, the mute may need to be adjusted. When the transmitter is off and the receiver’s RECEIVED RF LEVEL METER (11a) icon flickers or displays one or more segments, and/or white noise (hiss) is heard at the receiver output, the MUTE CONTROL (13) should be turned clockwise until the noise is muted (squelched). Turning the MUTE CONTROL too far clockwise will reduce operating range but will yield a quieter mute function. Note that the MUTE CONTROL operates independent of the RF LEVEL METER so that adjusting the MUTE will not affect any readings at the RF LEVEL METER.

6. Diversity Operation

During operation only one of the A or B DIVERSITY STATUS ICONS (11e) will be lit, indicating the receiver’s DigiTru Diversity™ circuitry is selecting antenna input A or B for the best signal. This is normal and ensures that the received audio will not be interrupted. Sometimes, especially at ranges greater than 75 feet, the squelch circuit will activate in certain locations of the transmitter with respect to the receiver. Such areas are called “null spots” and indicate that the transmitter is out of range for that given location, and the user should move closer to the receiver or to another area to re-establish the radio link.

UHF-16 specifications

Nady Systems UHF-16 is a versatile and reliable wireless microphone system designed for both professional and amateur users. With a range that can reach up to 300 feet, the UHF-16 is ideal for performances, speeches, presentations, and more, making it a popular choice among musicians, educators, and public speakers.

One of the standout features of the UHF-16 is its use of UHF frequency technology. This allows for greater transmission distance and reduces the likelihood of interference from other wireless devices. The UHF band also provides higher audio quality, capturing sounds with clarity and detail, essential for any performance or presentation.

The UHF-16 system includes a handheld microphone transmitter, which is user-friendly and designed for comfort during extended use. The microphone features a dynamic capsule that effectively rejects background noise, ensuring that the speaker's voice remains the primary focus. This characteristic is particularly beneficial in noisy environments where clarity is crucial.

Another significant attribute of the UHF-16 is its dual-channel receiver, which allows for the simultaneous use of two microphones. This feature is excellent for duets or interviews, as it ensures both speakers can be heard clearly without additional equipment. The receiver is also equipped with an LCD display that provides essential information, such as battery status and signal strength, enabling users to monitor their setup easily.

The UHF-16 is designed with user convenience in mind. It offers a simple setup, making it ideal for those who may not be technically inclined. The system includes rack-mountable features, allowing it to fit seamlessly into a professional sound setup. The durable construction ensures that it can withstand the rigors of frequent use, making it a reliable choice for traveling performers.

Additionally, the UHF-16 supports a wide frequency range, which offers users the flexibility to select the best frequencies available in their operating area, further minimizing the potential for interference. This adaptability is critical in urban environments where many wireless devices operate simultaneously.

In summary, the Nady Systems UHF-16 wireless microphone system stands out for its reliability, superior audio quality, and user-friendly design. With its UHF technology, dual-channel capability, and robust build, it meets the diverse needs of performers and speakers alike, making it a worthwhile investment for anyone serious about their audio performance.
