2. Opsætning

2.1 Systemkrav

• This ULXD2/B58 transmitter requires a Shure ULXD4 receiver to form a complete operational wireless system.
• Ensure that the frequency bands of the transmitter and receiver match for proper system operation. This model operates in the G50 Band (470 – 534 MHz).

2.2 Batteriinstallation

• The transmitter operates on 2 AA batteries, which are included.
• Open the battery compartment, insert the batteries according to the polarity indicators, and close the compartment securely.
• The ULX-D system also supports intelligent rechargeable solutions for extended use and remote monitoring of battery life.

2.3 Pairing with Receiver

To establish a wireless connection, the transmitter must be paired with a compatible ULXD4 receiver. Refer to the ULXD4 receiver's instruction manual for detailed pairing procedures. Generally, this involves synchronizing the transmitter and receiver via infrared (IR) sync to match their operating frequencies.

3. Betjeningsvejledning

3.1 Tænd/sluk

• To power on the transmitter, press and hold the power button until the display illuminates.
• For at slukke skal du trykke på og holde tænd/sluk-knappen nede, indtil skærmen slukker.

3.2 Brug af mikrofon

The BETA 58A vocal microphone capsule is designed for professional vocal applications. Hold the microphone firmly, pointing the grille towards the sound source. Maintain an appropriate distance from the sound source to prevent feedback and ensure optimal audio quality. The microphone's polar pattern is unidirectional, meaning it primarily picks up sound from the front, reducing unwanted background noise.

3.3 Avancerede funktioner

• AES 256-bit Encryption: The ULXD2/B58 supports AES 256-bit encryption for secure transmission, generating a randomized key for each use. This feature is crucial for applications requiring confidentiality.
• Fjernovervågning: When used with compatible Shure software (e.g., Wireless Workbench 6, SystemOn), battery life and charge status can be monitored remotely.

4. Funktioner

• Requires a ULXD4 receiver to complete the system. Ensure frequency bands match for proper operation.
• Handheld wireless transmitter compatible with ULX-D digital wireless systems.
• Includes an interchangeable Shure BETA 58A microphone cartridge.
• Features a rugged yet lightweight aluminum body and integrated antenna.
• Delivers uncompromising audio quality and RF performance.
• Incorporates AES 256-bit encryption for secure transmission.
• Offers advanced rechargeability options for professional sound reinforcement applications.
• Provides a 30 Hz–20 kHz range with flat frequency response (actual response is microphone dependent).

4.1 Ydeevne overview

The ULX-D Digital Wireless system is designed to overcome common wireless challenges in professional environments. It offers high-density operation, allowing up to 47 systems to run simultaneously within a 6 MHz bandwidth. The 24-bit digital audio ensures a clear and accurate sound that is true to the source, capturing the full dynamics of the performance without the compression often associated with older wireless technologies.

6. Vedligeholdelse

6.1 Rengøring

• Regularly wipe the exterior of the transmitter with a soft, dry cloth.
• For the microphone grille, gently remove any debris. The BETA 58A capsule grille can often be unscrewed for more thorough cleaning of the foam windscreen inside.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the finish or internal components.

6.2 Pleje af batterier

• Fjern batterierne fra senderen, hvis den ikke skal bruges i længere tid, for at forhindre lækage.
• If using rechargeable batteries, follow the manufacturer's guidelines for charging and storage to maximize battery life.

6.3 Opbevaring

Store the transmitter in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity. Use a protective case to prevent physical damage during transport or storage.

7. Fejlfinding

If you encounter issues with your Shure ULXD2/B58 Handheld Transmitter, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Ingen strøm: Ensure batteries are correctly installed and fully charged. Check the power button for proper function.
• No Audio/Signal Loss:
  • Verify that the transmitter is powered on and within range of the receiver.
  • Confirm that the transmitter and receiver are tuned to the same frequency band and channel. Re-sync if necessary.
  • Check for potential sources of RF interference in the operating environment.
  • Ensure the receiver's output is correctly connected to your audio system.
• Dårlig lydkvalitet:
  • Check microphone placement and distance from the sound source.
  • Inspect the microphone capsule for any physical damage or debris.
  • Verify gain settings on both the transmitter and receiver to avoid clipping or low signal.
  • Ensure the correct microphone capsule is securely attached.
• Interferens: The ULX-D system is designed for robust RF performance. If interference occurs, perform a scan on your receiver to find clear frequencies and re-sync the transmitter. Avoid operating near other wireless devices or strong RF sources.
