This manual covers each of the UT Series systems: The VocalArtist-UHF, The Presenter-UHF, The Headset-UHF, and The Guitarist-UHF.SYSTEM FEATURESAll Shure UT Series systems offer a variety of of exceptional features, including:•Diversity Receivers with Exclusive Shure MARCAD Circuitry: MARCAD(MAximum Ratio Combining Audio Diversity) circuitry continuously processesthe rf signal from each antenna and combines the audio outputs to produce onesignal of optimum quality. The result is improved reception and exceptional free-dom from dropouts.•Low-Traffic UHF Transmission: UT systems use a UHF (Ultra High Frequen-cy) range between approximately 596 to 862 MHz (available frequencies de-pend on regulations in the country where the system is used). In urban areas,UHF frequencies are less congested than those in the VHF range, and are lesssusceptible to interference.•Multiple System Use: Up to eight UT systems can be used in the same perfor-mance space. Each system must be set at a different frequency. If systems areset to the same frequency, contact an authorized Shure dealer. NOTE: In multi-ple use situations, each transmitter must have a dedicated receiver.•Simultaneous Output Use: Unbalanced 1/4” phone plug and balanced XLRoutput connectors may be used simultaneously to different external devices.•Stackable and Rack-Mountable Receivers: If multiple systems are in use, re-ceivers may either be stacked or rack-mounted, with two receivers fitting in theoptional rack mount tray. In these situations, antennas should not touch or becrossed. (See Stacking and Rack-mounting Receivers.)•Range: UT Series transmitters will work at a distance of up to 100 meters (about300 ft.) from the receiver.•Noise Squelch: The noise squelch circuit analyzes signal quality instead of sig-nal strength, which allows the circuit to discriminate between noise and desiredsignal. This reduces the likelihood of noise burst due to environmental rf (radiofrequency) noise.•Semi-Rigid Receiver Antennas: Three-inch rubberized antennas offer perfor-mance equal to telescoping antennas with added durability.•Low Battery Warning Light: A red light on the body-pack and hand-held trans-mitters warns the user that there is less than one hour of battery life left.3

ENGLISHRECEIVER VOLUME ADJUSTMENT FOR THE GUITARIST-UHFFollow these directions to adjust the volume control of the UT4 receiver, so that thewireless output of an instrument is equivalent to the output of a cabled instrument.1. Plug instrument directly into guitar/bass amp. Set volume and tone controls onboth the instrument and amplifier for a clean signal with desired tonal quality andvolume. DO NOT change these settings for the rest of volume adjustment.2. Unplug instrument from the amplifier input and plug into the transmitter. Plug thereceiver into amplifier input.3. Set VOLUME control of receiver at 1/4 on (9:00). Play instrument, with enoughforce to cause maximum output.4. If there is distortion present, the transmitter may be clipping. See the TransmitterAudio Gain Adjustment section.5. Adjust receiver volume control until sound quality matches that achieved in step 1.TRANSMITTER AUDIO GAIN ADJUSTMENTThe audio gain control on both the UT1 body-pack and UT2 hand-held transmittershas been factory-preset at the mid-range position for best performance in most ap-plications. If the red AUDIO PEAK light on the receiver does not flicker, the preset gainlevel may be too low and the audio gain may need to be increased until a proper signal-to-noise ratio is reached. This may be necessary for soft singers or talkers, or guitar orbasses with low outputs.For loud singers or talkers, or instruments with high outputs, the preset gain levelmay be too high, causing unwanted distortion. This condition is indicated by the con-tinuous glow of the red PEAK light on the receiver during usage.FIGURE 12+-UT1 BODY-PACK TRANSMITTER UT2 HAND-HELD TRANSMITTER•To Increase Gain: Rotate the transmitter gain control clockwise with the suppliedscrewdriver until the red AUDIO PEAK light on the receiver flickers when the gui-tar is played loudly or when you sing or speak in a loud voice. NOTE: In someapplications, the red AUDIO PEAK light will not flicker even with the gain controlturned fully clockwise. For body-pack systems only: If gain control is rotated fullyclockwise and the AUDIO PEAK light still does not flicker, check to see if the in-put attenuation switch on the transmitter is set to the –20 dB position. If it is, fullyrotate the gain control counterclockwise, and move the switch to the 0 dB posi-tion. Then rotate the gain control clockwise until the AUDIO PEAK light flickersduring high output or the gain control is turned fully clockwise.•To Reduce Gain: Rotate the transmitter gain control counterclockwise with the sup-plied screwdriver. Continue rotating the gain control until the red AUDIO PEAK lighton the receiver only flickers when guitar is played loudly, or when you sing orspeak in a loud voice. For body-pack systems only: If gain control is rotated fullycounterclockwise and the AUDIO PEAK light still glows continuously, check to see ifthe input attenuation switch on the transmitter is set to the 0 dB position. If it is, movethe switch to the –20 dB position, and fully rotate the gain control clockwise. Thenrotate the gain control counterclockwise until the AUDIO PEAK light flickers duringhigh output.To return audio gain to the factory setting, rotate the transmitter audio gain control to themid position and, on the body-pack only, slide the input attenuation switch to the 0 dBposition.13
ENGLISHBODY-PACK AUDIO GAIN AND ATTENUATION SETTINGSThe attenuation switch and the gain control on the UT1 body-pack are designed tobe used in conjunction to provide a wide spectrum of gain control choices. The fol-lowing ranges are starting points; actual output levels may vary.OUTPUT DEVICE ATTENUATIONSWITCH SETTINGAUDIO GAINCONTROL SETTINGLAVALIER MICROPHONE, CONVERSATIONAL VOICE 0 dB HIGH (clockwise)LAVALIER MICROPHONE, PROJECTED VOICEHEADSET, CONVERSATIONAL VOICE 0 dB MID–RANGEHEADSET, PROJECTED VOICEELECTRIC GUITAR/BASS, PASSIVE ELECTRONICS 0 dB LOW (counterclockwise)ELECTRIC GUITAR/BASS, PASSIVE ELECTRONICS –20 dB HIGH (clockwise)ELECTRIC GUITAR/BASS, ACTIVE ELECTRONICS –20 dB MID–RANGEELECTRIC GUITAR/BASS, ACTIVE ELECTRONICS –20 dB LOW (counterclockwise)RECEIVER SQUELCH ADJUSTMENTThe squelch control on the UT4 receivers (see figure 1) is factory preset for op-timum performance. No further adjustment is normally required. It is possible toadjust the squelch control setting to emphasize either signal quality or system range:•Turning the squelch control clockwise causes the receiver to demand a higherquality signal (less noise before muting), but decreases operating range.•Turning the squelch control counterclockwise allows a lower quality signalthrough (more noise before muting), but increases operating range.To return the receiver squelch control to the factory setting, rotate it to the mid-rangeposition (so the slot is vertical).TIPS FOR ACHIEVING MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE•Make sure you can always see a receiver antenna from the transmitter position.•Keep the distance from transmitter to receiver antenna as short as possible.•Point receiver antennas away from each other at a 45°angle from vertical.•Avoid placing the receiver antennas near metal surfaces and obstructions.•To mount the receiver on a flat surface, attach the four adhesive rubber feet orthe VELCRO mounting strips to the bottom of the receiver.•Monitor battery fuel gauge and replace battery as soon as red light is on.•Let body-pack transmitter antenna hang freely; do not coil or keep in pocket.•If stacking or rack mounting receivers in a multiple-system use situation, do notallow antennas to touch or cross.•Perform a walk-through before performance or presentation. If dead spots arefound, adjust location of receiver. If dead spots remain, mark spots and avoid.TROUBLESHOOTINGPROBLEM INDICATOR STATUS SOLUTIONNo sound. Green transmitter POWERlight off.
