Shure UHF-R Wireless
Feature Overview
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 7 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 11.
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 accidently 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 8 for more information on networking.)
Instructions on using the Wireless Workbench software are available in the online help files after you install the software.

Follow these steps to use the channel scan and group scan features.
Before you begin...
• Install the receivers in the location where they will be used and power them on.
• Mute all inputs on mixing devices connected to receivers.
• Turn off all bodypack or handheld transmitters for the systems you are setting up.
•Turn on potential sources of interference such as other wireless systems or devices, computers, CD players, effects processors, and
digital rack equipment so they are operating as they would be during the presentation or performance.
Single Receiver
1. Select Radio > Scan > Chan Scan using the Navigate keys on the receiver LCD interface.
2.
Turn
the Control wheel to select a group.
3. Press Chan Scan. The display indicates that the receiver is searching. Once it has finished, it displays the selected channel.
4. Press the flashing ENTER button to accept the suggested channel.
5. Sync the transmitter (see page 11).
Networked or Dual Receivers
With networked or dual receivers, you can take advantage of the group scan feature to set group and channel settings for all the re-
ceivers at the same time. (See page 8 for instructions on networking.)
Perform a group scan from any receiver...
1. Select Radio > Auto > Grp Scan using the Navigate keys on the receiver LCD interface. The display indicates that the
receiver is searching (Scan In Progress). Once it has finished, it displays the group with the most open channels.
2. If you wish, turn the Control wheel to change groups. The number of open channels for each group is displayed.
3. Press the flashing ENTER button to set all receivers to open channels in that group.
NOTE: The group scan feature only works for receivers in the same frequency band. For example, if you did a group scan on a
“H4” band receiver, all “H4” band receivers would be set up, but not “J5” band receivers.
Multiple Receivers—Not Networked
If your receivers are not networked (or in different bands), the group scan cannot automatically set their group and channel settings.
However, you can still take advantage of the group scan feature to find the group with the most open channels and the channel scan
feature to find open channels in that group.
Find the group with the most open channels...
Perform a group scan using the steps for a networked receiver (above). However, make a note of the selected group before pressing
the flashing ENTER button to accept it.
Set the receivers to open channels in that group...
Perform a channel scan on the remaining receivers using the steps for a single receiver (above). Make sure to select the same group
for each receiver before performing the channel scan.
IMPORTANT: After setting the channel for the first receiver,
immediately
sync the transmitter for that receiver and
leave it on
so
that the next receiver detects that channel during its channel scan. Otherwise, all the receivers will be set to the same open
channel.
NOTE: Receivers in different bands (H4, J5, L3, etc.) do not need to be set to the same group.

Shure UHF-R Wireless
Networking Receivers
Basic Network
Simply connect the receivers to a network hub, such as an Ethernet switch. No network configuration is required if the receiver is set
to the default network setting (Util > Network > Mode = Default).
Connecting a PC
To access receivers with the Wireless Workbench software, connect the PC to the USB port of any of the receivers in the network.
Connecting a PC Using Ethernet
For some installations, you may wish to connect a PC to a receiver network using an Ethernet connection instead of USB.
1. Connect the PC to the receiver network at the network hub.
2.
Set the computer’s IP address to 10.0.0.2 and the subnet mask to 255.0.0.0. To do this, go to
Control Panel
, open
Network Connec-
tions
, right-click on
Local Area Connection
and select
Properties
. Select
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
and click
Properties
.
DHCP Networks
To add receivers to an existing DHCP network, set all the networked receivers to use DHCP (Util > Network > Mode = DHCP,
see page 6). You can access the receivers from any computer on the network that is running the Wireless Workbench software.
Other Network Configurations
UHF-R receivers operate on a network just like any other Ethernet device. Both static addressing and DHCP are supported. Each re-
ceiver ships with a unique IP address based on its MAC address, so in most situations, you don’t need to change the receiver’s network
settings to connect it to a network.
NOTE: Dual receivers use a single IP address, which may be set through either LCD interface.
Existing UHF Network Installations
Both Shure’s UHF-R receivers and legacy UHF receivers can be networked to the same PC and accessed using the latest Wireless
Workbench software.

Troubleshooting
Power
Make sure that the transmitter and receiver are receiving suffi-
cient voltage. The receiver requires at least 90 Vac. Check the
battery indicator on the transmitter and replace battery if nec-
essary.
Gain
Adjust the transmitter gain and sensitivity settings (see page
10) or the receiver output level (page 5), or toggle the
mic/line switch on the back of the receiver.
Cables
Check that all cables and connectors are in working order.
Ground Lift
Lifting the ground on pin 1 of the XLR output on the receiver
can sometimes remove hum or buzz in the audio signal. Set the
GND/LIFT switch on the receiver to LIFT if you are using the
XLR connector.
Interface Locks
Both the transmitter and receiver can be locked to prevent ac-
cidental changes. On transmitters, look for a lock symbol on the
LCD and use the key combinations illustrated on page 10 to
turn it off.
To turn off the receiver interface lock, see page 5.
Radio Frequency (RF)
Using the RF LEDs
If neither blue RF LED is illuminated, then the receiver is not de-
tecting the presence of a transmitter.
The amber RF LEDs indicate the amount of signal being re-
ceived. This signal could be from the transmitter,
or it could be
from an interfering source, such as a television broadcast.
Turn
the transmitter off. If more than one or two of the amber RF
LEDs are still illuminated, then that channel has too much inter-
ference, and you should try a different channel.
The red RF LED indicates RF overload. This will usually not
cause a problem unless you are using more than one system
at the same time, in which case, it can cause interference be-
tween systems.
Compatibility
• Perform a transmitter sync, or make sure the transmitter and
receiver are set to the same group and channel.
• Look at the label on the transmitter and receiver to make sure
they are in the same band (H4, J5, L3, etc...).
Reducing Interference
• Use a different channel or perform an automatic group or
channel scan (see page 7).
• For multiple systems, check that all systems are set to chan-
nels in the same group (systems in different bands do not
need to be set to the same group).
• Maintain a line of sight between transmitter and receiver an-
tennas
• Move receiver antennas away from metal objects or other
sources of RF interference (such as CD players, computers,
digital effects, and Personal Stereo Monitor (PSM) wireless
systems).
• Eliminate RF overload
(see below).
Increasing Range
If the transmitter is more than 6 to 60 m (20 to 200 ft) from the
receiver antenna, you may be able to increase range by doing
one of the following:
• Reduce interference (see above)
• Increase transmitter RF power level
(see page 10).
• Use an active directional antenna, antenna distribution sys-
tem, or other antenna accessory to increase RF range (see
page 15).
Eliminating RF Overload
If you see the red RF LED on a receiver, reduce the transmitter
RF power level (see page 10) or move the transmitter further
away from the receiver
—at least 6 m (20 ft)
. If you are using ac-
tive antennas, reduce antenna or amplifier gain.
