Feature Overview

Shure UHF-R Wireless

The UHF-R≤Wireless Microphone System uses the latest wireless technology, delivers outstanding audio clarity, and is rugged and reliable. It is easy to set up and operate with advanced features for professional installations requiring multiple wireless microphone systems.

Frequency Band Selection

Shure offers wireless systems in a selection of bands that conform to the different government regulations of specific nations or geo- graphic regions. These regulations help limit radio frequency (RF) interference among different wireless devices and prevent interfer- ence with local public communications channels, such as television and emergency broadcasts.

The system’s band and frequency range are identified on the face of the receiver and transmitter. For example, “H4 518–578 MHz.”

For information on bands available in your area, consult your local dealer or phone Shure. More information is also available at Shure’s website (www.shure.com).

Groups and Channels

To transmit audio through a wireless system, the transmitter and receiver must be set to the same radio frequency, or channel. A wide selection of channels allows more microphones to be used at the same time, since each microphone must operate on a different chan- nel. It also provides a greater choice of open channels—those that are free from interference from television broadcasts, electronic devices, or other wireless systems.

A group is a selection of compatible channels. Wireless microphones work better together when set to channels in the same group.

Automatic Frequency Selection

The following features scan the RF environment to find the best group and channel settings for a particular installation.

•Group Scan—finds the group with the most open channels, then sets all networked receivers to channels in that group.

•Channel Scan—finds the first open channel in the currently selected group and sets the receiver to that channel. Follow the steps on page 11 for instructions on using these features.

Automatic Transmitter Sync

This feature automatically transfers the group and channel settings from a receiver to a transmitter. You can also program other trans- mitter settings on a receiver and transfer those settings too. See page 15.

Interface Lock

This feature locks the receiver and transmitters so that users cannot change settings. The transmitter power switch can also be dis- abled so that the transmitter remains on if the power switch is accidentally toggled during a performance.

Audio Gain Structure

The following settings allow you to adjust audio gain throughout the system:

•Sensitivity (bodypack only). A 25 dB range of gain adjustment at the bodypack transmitter input.

•Transmitter Gain. A 30dB range of audio gain adjustment within the transmitter (affects audio level at the receiver, as indicated by the Audio LEDS.)

•Output Level. 32 dB of attenuation at the receiver output, plus a mute setting.

•Mic/Line switch. –30 dB pad for matching audio levels at the receiver XLR output.

Networking

Each receiver has an RJ-45 port on the back for connecting to other receivers over an Ethernet network. Networking receivers allows you to automatically set channels for all the receivers with a single group scan command. You can also control and monitor all net- worked receivers through the Shure Wireless Workbench PC software.

Shure Wireless Workbench Software

The Shure Wireless Workbench software on the supplied CD includes a variety of useful tools for installing and managing multiple wireless systems. Simply install the software on your computer and connect it to a network of receivers to monitor and control receivers and transmitters throughout the network. (See page 12 for more information on networking.)

Instructions on using the Wireless Workbench software are available in the online help files after you install the software.

The Shure UHF-R is a premium wireless microphone system designed for professional use in live performances, broadcasting, and theater. Known for its unparalleled audio quality, robust build, and reliable performance, it has become a favorite among artists, sound engineers, and production companies globally.

One of the standout features of the UHF-R system is its advanced frequency diversity technology, which allows users to select from a wide range of channels and frequencies, greatly reducing the chances of interference. With up to 2400 selectable frequencies across 60 MHz of bandwidth, users can easily find a clear signal for their performances. This feature is especially beneficial in crowded environments, such as concert venues or festivals, where multiple wireless systems might be in use simultaneously.

The system offers analog audio outputs and digital signal processing that ensures the highest fidelity audio transmission. The UHF-R transmitters are equipped with Shure's renowned microphone capsules, allowing for different sound profiles tailored to vocalist preferences, and they provide precise, clear sound reproduction. Whether using a handheld microphone, bodypack, or guitar system, the flexibility of adapters and compatibility with various mics make it a versatile choice for any application.

Another significant characteristic of the UHF-R system is its exceptional range. With a line-of-sight operation, the system can reach distances up to 300 feet or more, depending on environmental factors. This feature allows performers the freedom to move around the stage without worrying about audio dropouts.

The system's user-friendly interface makes setup and operation straightforward. The LCD screen on both the receiver and transmitters provides real-time information on channel selection, battery status, and audio levels, ensuring that users are always aware of their system’s performance. Additionally, its wireless access control allows for remote operation and monitoring through Shure's Wireless Workbench software, enabling sound engineers to manage multiple systems easily.

Battery life is another strong point of the UHF-R system, with transmitters providing up to 8 hours of continuous use on standard AA batteries. As an added bonus, the transmitters come equipped with a battery status indicator, helping users keep track of their power levels.

Overall, the Shure UHF-R wireless microphone system combines superior sound quality, cutting-edge technology, and practical features, making it an essential tool for professional audio applications.
