INTRODUCTIONThank you very much for expressing your confidence in us by purchasing the ULTRALINK ULB2000.This Transmitter, coupled to the receiver ULR2000 from BEHRINGER, comprises a modern, high-performance wireless transmission system.Due to its amazing set of features, you can use the ULB2000 in any situation that requires thehighest quality in sound and freedom of movement for live concerts, events and television productions.Depending on your local wireless transmission regulations, you can use up to 20 systemssimultaneously.The IRC compander system guarantees an extremely wide transmission dynamic range.The headset is holds a high-grade Panasonic® capsule with a cardioid polar pattern. Therefore, itprimarily picks up the sound from the front and less from the sides. The sound that reaches thebackside of the microphone is suppressed as much as possible, allowing it to be less susceptible tofeedback in live situations.1. INTRODUCTION
4ULTRALINK ULB2000The ULTRALINK Series equipment features 3 factory presets, each with 8 permanent, interference-free channels. This allows you to use several systems in parallel without them influencing oneanother. Additionally, you have the option of storing 8 of your own frequencies in a user preset, thusindividually addressing your own needs.Determining which microphone is assigned to which receiver is done either by observing thetransmission channel in the display or by comparing the transmission frequency. In addition, theULTRALINK equipment from BEHRINGER leaves you the option to color-code your gear for easyidentification.Beyond that, both units feature other useful functions, such as Scan and Auto Mute. This way, nowishes are left open during practice or in live situations.The following instructions are intended to familiarize you with the unit’s controls, so thatyou can learn all of its functions. After having thoroughly read these instructions, storethem in a safe place for future reference.1.1 Before you get started1.1.1 ShipmentThe ULB2000 was carefully packed at the factory to assure secure transportation.

OPERATING THE TRANSMITTERA brief overview with the graphic representation on operating the transmitter is found on the lastpage of this user manual (QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE).3.1 Turning the transmitter on1. Press the transmitter's POWER button for 2 seconds.2. A blink code indicates the charge level of the battery:1 = Battery is nearly empty . . . 5 = Battery is fully charged3. Shortly after, a second blink code indicates the current channel setting for the transmitter:1 = Channel 1 is selected . . . 8 = Channel 8 is selectedWhen the blink codes have indicated the operating state, a constant glowing of the LED indicates theoperational readiness. However, the battery is discharged and needs to be replaced when the LEDcontinues to flash (see Chapter 1.1.3).3.2 Channel settingWithin a preset, you can easily select a channel by using the select switch . In this case, it is notrelevant whether the transmitter is on or off.Changing the channel when the transmitter is already powered onDuring this procedure, the transmitter may not be set to mute!1. Turn the selection switch to one of the positions 1 - 8, corresponding to the desired channelnumber. If a valid value is selected (i.e. neither 9 nor 0), the LED blinks quickly once as aconfirmation.2. Press the POWER button briefly. The LED flashes at a medium rate, corresponding to thechannel number (for example, 5 times for channel 5) that has been set by using the selectswitch.If an invalid channel number is selected (0 or 9), the channel selected last remainsselected.Changing the channel when the transmitter is powered off1. Turn the selection switch to one of the values (1 - 8), corresponding to the desired channelnumber.2. If you turn on the transmitter, the channel you selected is automatically loaded.If an invalid channel number was selected (0 or 9), the channel selected last remainsselected.3.3 Setting your own frequencyA carrier frequency in the range between 798.1 and 805.9 MHz can be freely selected. This frequencyis stored in a self-assignable user preset (Preset 1).The carrier frequency can only be set in 25-kHz steps. The frequency you select has tobe a multiple of 25 kHz. If you select a frequency that is not a multiple of 25 kHz or doesnot lie in the frequency range between 798.1 and 805.9 MHz, the ULB2000 gives off anerror message (the LED blinks quickly 5 times).1. Engage MUTE. The transmitter can now be switched to the programming mode.2. Turn the selection switch to 9 and confirm your selection by keeping the POWER buttonpressed for about 2 seconds. The LED indicates confirmation by blinking once with mediumtempo and blinking once slowly. The transmitter is now in the programming mode and awaitsthe entry of a 6-digit frequency.3. OPERATING THE TRANSMITTER
7ULTRALINK ULB20003. Enter all 6 digits one after another in the following fashion:VSelect the desired value on the selection switch, for example 4. If a valid value isselected, the LED blinks quickly once as a confirmation. This way, you can be sure thata correct value is entered (in regard to the frequency range and divisibility by 25 kHz)even before confirming your selection.VConfirm your selection by briefly pressing the POWER button.VIf the end frequency value you entered is valid, the LED blinks quickly once more. If thefrequency value is invalid, the LED blinks quickly 5 times, and the unit is no longer in theprogramming mode. In this case, start anew with step 2.After a brief interruption, a second blink code is given: the LED blinks corresponding tothe value selected (in this case, 4 times) with medium tempo.The value 0 is indicated by a very short blink of the LED, and you will easily tell a0 from a 1.If no entry is made for more than 5 seconds (either on the selection switch or bypressing the POWER button), the LED blinks quickly 5 times, and the programmingmode is aborted.After entering the 6 digits for the frequency value, enter another value to indicate the channelnumber under which the frequency will be stored.4. Select a desired channel number on the selection switch, for example channel 2 (possiblevalues: 1 - 8). If a valid value is selected, the LED blinks quickly once to confirm. This way, youcan be sure that a correct channel number is being entered even before confirming yourselection.5. Confirm your selection by briefly pressing the POWER button.6. When a valid value is selected, the LED blinks briefly again. When an invalid value isselected, the LED blinks quickly 5 times and the unit is no longer in the programming mode.In this case, start a new with step 2.After a brief interruption, a second blink code is given: the LED blinks corresponding to thevalue selected (in this case, 2 times) with medium tempo.7. After a second blink pause, an additional blink code is given as a confirmation:VA successfully stored frequency is signaled with 2 slow blinks. The transmitter leaves theprogramming mode.VIf the LED blinks quickly 5 times, the frequency was not stored. In this case, start anew withstep 2.If no entry is made for more than 5 seconds (either on the selection switch or bypressing the POWER button), the LED blinks quickly 5 times, and the programmingmode is aborted.8. Disengage the MUTE switch.A user-assigned frequency is automatically stored in the user preset (Preset 1)!3.4 PresetThe ULB2000 lets you work with 4 presets, each with 8 channels.Factory presets (Presets 2, 3 and 4)In the ULB2000, there are 3 factory presets (each with 8 interference-free channels). That means thatall 8 channels of one preset can run simultaneously with 8 different transmitters and receiverswithout causing interference to one another.The channels in the 3 factory presets are all assigned to different frequencies. This way, you canalways select a frequency range that assures the best signal transmission.The following table shows which frequencies are stored in the factory presets.3. OPERATING THE TRANSMITTER

After a second brief blink break, an additional blink code is given as a confirmation:VSuccessful loading of a preset is signaled with two slow blinks. The transmitter leaves theprogramming mode.VIf the setting for Mic Gain could not be stored, the LED blinks quickly 5 times. In this case,start anew with step 2.7. Disengage MUTE.3.6 Auto MuteThe receiver's incoming signal will contain audible noise and interference should the transmitter beturned on, off or changed to another channel without having muted the microphone beforehand, orif the transmission has been interrupted due to a drained battery in the transmitter. Even if thesquelch circuit is turned on at the receiver end, it still requires some time to react, and such noisecan not be suppressed safely.To bridge this latency time, the ULB2000 offers a practical Auto Mute function:VWhen the ULB2000 is being turned off, when you are switching channels or during low-batteryindication, an inaudible send signal is being transmitted.VThe receiver ULR2000 recognizes this signal and automatically mutes the output before thetransmitter is actually turned off, switched to another channel or before it powers down on itsown due to battery charge being too low.For the Auto Mute function to work, it has to be activated on both the transmitter and thereceiver!Activating/deactivating the Auto Mute function1.

ULB2000 LEVEL SETTINGTo optimally set the level on your ULB2000, the High Gain or Low Gain setting has to beset to the level of the signal being transmitted (ch. 3.5).Adjust the gain control in the microphone channel of your mixing console so that the peak LEDlights up only occasionally or never at all. The EQ controls in the microphone channel should be setto mid-travel position to start with. To get the sound you want, try changing the mic position relativeto the sound source or even move the microphone around in the recording room of your studio.Adjusting the angle at which walls face the sound source can also be helpful. Only when the desiredbasic sound has been achieved should you start to use equalizers and signal processors, if any at all(remember: less is often more!)5. ULB2000 LEVEL SETTING
12ULTRALINK ULB20006. APPLICATION EXAMPLEFig. 6.1 shows how easy it is to use the ULB2000. Simply connect the receiver ULR2000 to yourmixing console.Fig.6.1: Wiring the ULR2000 receiver and the ULB2000 microphone7. INSTALLATION7.1 Operating informationThe quality of the wireless transmission depends on various local factors as well as the degree ofradiation and reception at transmitter and receiver, unlike the signal transmission over cable. Tominimize the risk of interference, take the following suggestions into account for a smooth operationof the wireless system.7.1.1 Attach the transmitterFor optimal operation of the transmitter, please observe the following when attaching the transmitter:VUse only the provided headset and ensure that the mini XLR-connector is fastened correctly.VAttach the transmitter to a belt by using the provided clip instead of simply placing it into apocket, for instance. The optimal freedom of movement is guaranteed by fastening the transmitterto one's back or side.VMake sure the headset's cable is not wrapped around or comes into contact with the antenna; thiswould result in an impairment of the transmission.VAvoid direct body contact with the antenna to attain a maximum range.VThe headset's microphone capsule should be aligned towards the speaker at approximately 2-5 cm from the mouth. Ideally, the capsule should be kept off-centered to mouth and nose toavoid the conveyance of breathing sounds.7.1.2 General informationVAlways make sure that the devices are not operated in direct proximity of large metallicsurfaces (radiators, metal racks, reinforced concrete walls and similar).7. INSTALLATION
13ULTRALINK ULB2000VThe devices should always be at a height of at least 1 m (3 ft.) off the ground.VTo assure interference-free reception, ideally there should be no large objects placed betweenthe transmitter and the receiver. Not only the size but also the type of material play a role indetermining how strong signal interference will be!VKeep a minimum distance of 5 meters between transmitter and sender to avoid signalovermodulation.VWhen using multiple transmitters, the distance between the transmitting units should be at least20 cm to avoid crosstalk (i.e. intermodulation).VReplace used batteries ahead of time. A dropout would be unacceptable at a production,hence, do not wait until the battery indicator warns you that the battery needs to be replaced.VUse the presets to guarantee an interference-free transmission of multiple transmitters andreceivers on up to 8 channels.7.2 Audio connectionsThe transmitter cannot be connected with a cable directly to a mixer, as is the case with wiredmicrophones. The connection between transmitter and the ULR2000 receiver is wireless. Then, thereceiver passes on the signal over a cable connection.A cable connection is required to connect the headset to the transmitter. The plug connection isprovided by means of mini XLR connectors, which ensure a secure operation due to their lockingmechanism.Fig.7.1: Mini XLR connector of the ULB20007. INSTALLATION
