General Technical DescriptionIntroduction

The UT Digital Hybrid Wireless™ handheld transmitter uses state-of-the-art wireless technology with a high-powered 100mW RF output and a unique microphone capsule arrangement. The VariMic™ preamp allows the user to custom-tailor the microphone’s response to suit the application.

Three capsules are available for this transmitter: a cardi-oid condenser, an omni condenser and a super-cardioid condenser. Each capsule assembly comes complete with the VariMic™ preamp.

In addition to providing peerless audio quality in native 400 Series mode, the Digital Hybrid Wireless™ tech-nology in the UT transmitter allows compatibility with a wide range of receiver types, including Lectrosonics 100 and 200 series and IFB. The UT is also compatible with receivers from other manufacturers. Contact Lectroson-ics for details.

Digital Hybrid Technology All wireless links suffer from channel noise to some degree and all wireless microphone systems seek to minimize the impact of that noise on the desired sig-nal. Conventional analog systems use compandors for enhanced dynamic range, at the cost of subtle artifacts (known as “pumping” and “breathing”). Wholly digital systems defeat the noise by sending the audio informa-tion in digital form, at the cost of some combination of power, bandwidth and resistance to interference.

The Lectrosonics Digital Hybrid Wireless™ system (hereafter called Digital Hybrid) overcomes channel noise in a dramatically new way, digitally encoding the audio in the transmitter and decoding it in the receiver, yet still sending the encoded information via an analog FM wireless link. This proprietary algorithm is not a digital implementation of an analog compandor but a technique which can be accomplished only in the digital domain, even though the inputs and outputs are analog signals.

Because it uses an analog FM link, the Digital Hybrid enjoys all the benefits of conventional FM wireless systems, such as excellent range, efficient use of RF spectrum, and long battery life. However, unlike con-ventional FM systems, the Digital Hybrid has done away with the analog compandor and its artifacts.

Digital Signal ProcessorThe DSP encodes the digitized audio from the A-D con-verter and adds an ultrasonic pilot tone to control the receiver’s squelch (only in 400 Series, 200 Series and IFB compatibility modes with the pilot tone enabled – see Pilot Tone Squelch). It also controls the input limiter and audio metering.

Microprocessor, PLL and VCO CircuitsAn 8-bit microprocessor monitors numerous internal signals. It also drives the Modulation LEDs, controls the pilot tone and operates the PLL/VCO circuits.

Compatibility ModesThe transmitter was designed to operate with Lectro-sonics Digital Hybrid Wireless™ receivers and will yield the best performance when doing so. However, due to the flexibility of digital signal processing, it is also able to operate with Lectrosonics 200 Series, Lectrosonics 100 Series, IFB and certain non-Lectrosonics analog receivers in special compatibility modes. (Contact the Lectrosonics Sales Department for a complete list of compatible receivers.)

Pilot Tone SquelchThe benefit of the pilot tone squelch system is that the associated receiver will remain muted until it receives the pilot tone from the matching transmitter, even if a strong RF signal is present on the carrier frequency of the system. All 400 Series transmitters use one of 256 different ultrasonic tones between 25 and 32 kHz to modulate the carrier to operate the receiver squelch. The pilot tone frequency is chosen according to which of the 256 channels has been selected by the frequency switch setting. This ensures that all transmit-ters in a system have different pilot tone frequencies so that even spurious RF from the wrong transmitters can’t open the receiver squelch.

Wide-Band DeviationThe ±75 kHz deviation dramatically improves the cap-ture ratio, signal to noise ratio and dynamic range of a wireless system.

Input LimiterA digitally-controlled limiter and a precise, 16-position attenuation control allow a very wide range of gain set-tings based on the source volume, thus optimizing the signal-to-noise performance in any situation. The result is the widest dynamic range of any wireless condenser microphone today.

Long Battery LifeSwitching power supplies throughout the design allow over 3.5 hours of operation using a single 9 VDC alka-line battery. (A 9 VDC lithium battery will provide over 6.5 hours of operation.) The battery contacts are spring loaded to prevent “rattle” as the unit is handled.

Frequency SelectionThe transmitter section uses a synthesized, frequency selectable main oscillator. The frequency is extremely stable over a wide temperature range and over time. Two 16-position rotary switches, located under the battery door, provide 256 frequencies in 100 kHz steps over a 26.5 MHz range. This alleviates most carrier in-terference problems in mobile or traveling applications.

Circulator/IsolatorThe RF output circuit includes a one way circulator/isolator using magnetically polarized ferrite. This device greatly reduces RF intermodulation produced when multiple transmitters are used at separations of less than five feet. It also provides additional RF output stage protection but is rarely seen in a wireless micro-phone transmitters due to the considerable expense.

AntennaThe highly efficient antenna uses the lower half of the printed circuit boards as one radiating element, with the upper half of the PC boards and the mic capsule as the other half of the dipole configuration. This allows the mic to be held in any position, since the user’s hands have little or no effect on the radiated power.

Microphone ElementThe UT handheld transmitter is available with any of three capsule types: the VMC cardioid condenser, the VMO omni condenser and the VMS super-cardioid condenser. All three are mounted with tuned suspen-sions in order to eliminate handling noise. Each capsule is also mated with the unique VariMic™ preamp ar-rangement allowing for custom-tailoring the frequency response based on application.

Power On/Off SwitchA Power On/Off switch located on the outside bottom of the unit turns the unit on and off. The function of the Power On/Off Switch can also be changed so it also operates as an audio mute switch. In this configuration, the Power LED doubles as a battery status indicator (in the unmute or On position) and an audio mute/unmute indicator (in the muted or Off position). (See Operating Instructions, Power Switch Function Selection.) These functions are illustrated in the chart below:

If the UT Power On/Off Switch has been configured for Audio Mute Mode, it is still possible to turn off the transmitter without removing the battery. This is done by placing the switch in the On position, then toggling the switch between the On and Off position three times in less than five seconds, i.e., On (Starting Position)-Off-On-Off-On-Off.

The user-selected configuration of the Power On/Off switch is stored in the unit’s memory and persists until reconfigured by the user.

Power LEDWhether in normal, mute or locked mode, the Power LED will indicate the battery level when the unit is pow-ered up.

The Power LED indicates the battery status when the unit is powered up with the Power On/Off switch configured for normal operation. The Power LED glows green when the battery is good. The color changes to red when there is about 30 minutes of operation left with the recommended lithium battery. (An alkaline battery will have about 20 minutes of life left.) When the LED begins to blink red, there are only a few minutes of life left in the battery. The Power LED blinks red for a short period when the transmitter is con-figured for Normal Mode and the Power On/Off switch is set to Off. At the end of the power off sequence, then Power LED goes out.

Controls and Functions

NOTE: A NiMH battery gives little or no warning when it is depleted. If you use NiMH batteries in the UT, we recommend trying fully charged batteries first, noting the length of time that the batteries will run the unit and in the future use somewhat less than that time to determine when the battery needs to be replaced.

When first tinstalled, a weak battery will sometimes cause the Power LED to glow green, but will soon dis-charge to the point where the LED will blink red or shut off completely.

When Power On/Off switch is configured for Audio Mute Mode, the Power LED indicates battery status when the switch is set to On. However, when the Power On/Off swtich is configured for Audio Mute Mode and set to Off, the Power LED will slowly double blink green to indicate that the unit’s audio is muted. (See Operating Instruc-tions, Power Switch Function Selection.)

Compatibility ModesThe Power LED is used to indicate Compatibility Mode. To identify the current Compatibility Mode, as part of the powerup sequence, the Power LED will blink:

•Oncefor100Seriesmode •Twotimesfor200Seriesmode •ThreetimesforMode3* •Fourtimesfor400Seriesmode •FivetimesforIFBSeriesmode

Frequency SwitchesTwo 16-position rotary switches (located under the bat-tery door) adjust the operating frequency of the trans-mitter. The Coarse switch adjusts the frequency in 1.6 MHz steps and the Fine switch adjusts the frequency in 100 kHz steps.

Audio Level

Frequency SwitchesCoarse Fine

Audio Level LEDsThe two bicolor Modulation LEDs (located under the Battery Compartment Cover) provide a visual indica-tion of the audio signal level to the microphone. These LEDs can glow either red or green to indicate modula-tion levels as shown in the following chart.

Signal Level -20 LED -10 LED

Less than -20 dB Off Off

-20 dB to -10 dB Green Off

-10 dB to +0 dB Green Green

+0 dB to +10 dB Red Green

Greater than +10 dB Red Red

Audio Level ControlThe Audio Level Control (under the Battery Compart-ment Cover) is used to adjust the audio input level for proper modulation.

Locked ModeThe UT can be placed in a locked mode where the Power switch and the Frequency Switches are disabled. This protects the unit from accidental power-off or mis-adjustment after it has been prepared for use.

To enter locked mode, toggle the Power switch off then on again rapidly three times. The sequence must start with the Power Switch in the On position. Set the Power Switch to On, then initiate the Locked Mode sequence, i.e., Off-On-Off-On-Off-On). Each toggle must take no longer than two seconds and there cannot be more than ten seconds between toggles.

During the first two toggles, the Power LED will behave normally, blinking slowly red while the switch is in the off position to warn that the power will go off, then return-ing to normal battery status indication when the switch is set to On again. After the third toggle, the Power LED will go out briefly, then blink the code that indicates the current Compatibility Mode, just as it does when the unit is first powered on. The Power LED going out briefly followed by this blinking code serves as a confirmation that the switches are now locked.

Locked Mode can only be cleared by removing the bat-tery. Note that since removing the battery bypasses the normal delayed power-off circuit, it may cause noise at the receiver.

VariMic™ ControlsCaution: Due to the high RF levels surrounding the transmitter, the sound of the VariMicTM capsule may be temporarily affected if the metal windscreen is not in place. Always make the final decision about sound balance and quality with the windscreen in place.

The VariMicTM head includes adjustments for Bass (LO), Midrange (MID) and Treble (HI) response. There is also an attenuation adjustment to provide up to 15 dB of ad-ditional headroom if needed.

Bass/Mid/Treble (LO/MID/HI)The bass and treble controls will boost/cut by up to 8 dB while the Mid control will boost/cut up to 6 dB. These controls operate as standard tone controls: A counterclockwise adjustment cuts the response in that band and a clockwise adjustment boosts the response. These controls can be accessed by removing the wind-screen. To remove the windscreen, grasp the body of the transmitter in one hand and the windscreen in the other hand. Carefully unscrew the windscreen coun-terclockwise until it comes off. Then, carefully slide the windscreen past the mic element.

Control Settings:• Setflat,theresponsecomesdirectlyfromthecap-

• Trebleboostmightbefineonsomesoundsystems.The sound doesn’t get harsh (showing that the response was smooth) but sibilants may be exces-sive. Should be used in moderation.

Preamp Level ControlThe VariMicTM head includes an attenuator to provide an additional 15 dB of headroom when needed. The attenuator should only be used when the normal Audio Level control is already turned down as far as it will go and the signal through the mic is still too high. The attenuator control is a 16-position switch marked “0” through “F.” “F” is minimum attenuation. “0” is maximum attenuation. As the switch is rotated counterclockwise, more attenuation is applied. For the maximum amount of headroom, set the switch to “0.”

Note: The attenuator should not be used as a level control. The Audio Level control inside the battery compartment is the main level control. Adjust the Preamp Level Control only when the Audio Level control is turned completely down and more headroom is still needed. Be sure to set the Preamp Level Control back to its original setting for normal operation.

Subsonic Noise FilterIn addition to the tone controls, the UT also has a built-in subsonic noise (or high pass) filter. This filter is fixed and cannot be adjusted or defeated. Low frequency noise is much more of a problem with wireless micro-phones than with conventional microphones. With a conventional mic, low frequency wind noise, breath thumps or handling rumble can be filtered out at the control board before the noise causes problems with the following electronics or speaker systems. However, with a wireless microphone, the electronics that will be overdriven are in the microphone itself. Filtering at the control board is too late. To solve this problem, the VariMicTM has a subsonic noise filter that is so sharp that it can remove low frequency noise without affecting any wanted vocals. It consists of a 36 dB per octave filter circuit to sharply remove low frequency noise below 75 Hz without affecting vocal fundamentals. (For reference, the lowest operatic bass voice fundamental is 82 Hz.)

Interchangeable CapsulesAny of these capsules may be included with the UT as a standard option, or they can be ordered separately:

VMO omnidirectional condenserThe omni capsule is perfect when the talent may need to be off-axis, such as in an interview situation. Also, omni capsules by nature are much more immune to handling, popping and wind noise than directional mi-crophones. In addition, this capsule has slightly higher sensitivity than the VMC cardioid capsule.

VMC cardioid condenserThis element has excellent frequency and transient re-sponse rivaling the top condenser performance micro-phones on the market. The pickup pattern is a standard cardioid with exemplary off-axis response, allowing the talent to move around the microphone without a change in tone. The extended high-frequency response produc-es an open, clean sound with excellent intelligibility.

VMS super-cardioid condenserIn applications where maximum gain before feedback is required, the VMS capsule is the right choice. With its nearly perfect super-cardioid pattern, the AKG C5900 capsule rejects sounds from the direct rear and rear sides, while providing a generous frontal “live” area. The VMS is slightly lower in sensitivity when compared to the VMC.

Selecting Compatibility ModeThis transmitter is capable of working with Lectrosonics 400 Series Digital Hybrid Wireless™, 200 Series, 100 Series, and some analog wireless receivers from other manufacturers. (Contact Lectrosonics for details.) The transmitter must be set for compatibility with the match-ing receiver, which is easily done using the supplied screwdriver and a battery.

Note: The unit is supplied from the factory configured as a 400 Series transmitter.

1) Set the audio output controls for the corresponding receiver to minimum.

2) Install a good bat-tery in the trans-mitter. Turn on the transmitter and observe the Power LED to determine the current Com-patibility Mode. The Power LED will blink:

•Oncefor100Seriesmode •Twotimesfor200Seriesmode •Threetimesformode3 •Fourtimesfor400Seriesmode •FivetimesforIFBSeriesmode

3) With a small screwdriver (included with your unit), set the Frequency Switches to “CC” (for Change, Change).

IMPORTANT: When performing the following steps, The transmitter allows ten seconds to set the frequency switches before the next toggle of the power switch. When toggling the power switch, it is not neccesary to allow the transmitter to turn off completely. If more than ten seconds elapse between toggles, the mode change will not take effect and you must begin again from step 3.

Operating Instructions4) Rapidly toggle the Power Switch Off and On.

Change the Frequency Switches to one of the fol-lowing settings:.

•100Seriesmode: 1,1 •200Seriesmode: 2,2 •Mode3: 3,3 •400Seriesmode: 4,4 •IFBSeriesmode: 5,5

5) Rapidly toggle the Power Switch Off and On.

Set the Frequency Switches to 0,0.

6) Rapidly toggle the Power Switch Off and On.

Observe the Power LED on the bottom panel to ver-ify the compatibility mode for the unit has changed. The Power LED will blink the new compatibility mode. (See Step 2.)

Note: Each time the transmitter is turned on, the Power LED will confirm the current operating mode with the number of blinks listed in Step 2. The mode setting will not change until it is reset with the procedure listed above.

Adjusting the Audio Gain1) Install a good battery in the transmitter. Move the

Power Switch to On and observe the Power LED. It should blink the compatibility mode, then glow green.

2) Set the Attenuator Control to position “F.” (see page 8).

3) Hold the microphone the way it will be used in ac-tual operation.

4) While speaking or singing at the same voice level that will actually be used during the program, ob-serve the Modulation LEDs. Adjust the Audio Level control until the –20 dB LED occasionally flickers red and the -10 dB glows green.

Signal Level -20 LED -10 LED

Less than -20 dB Off Off

-20 dB to -10 dB Green Off

-10 dB to +0 dB Green Green

+0 dB to +10 dB Red Green

Greater than +10 db Red Red

Note: If the Audio Level control is set to minimum and both Modulation LEDs still blink red frequently, you can reduce the gain further by adjusting the Attenuator Control. This control is located under the windscreen. Unscrew the windscreen and carefully lift it off the top of the unit. See the VARIMICTM CONTROLS section for these adjustments. Be sure to set the Attenuator back to the “F” position before adjusting the gain for another user.

5) Once the audio gain has been set, the signal can be sent through the sound system for overall level adjustments, monitor settings, etc.

Power ON/OFF Switch Function SelectionThe Power On/Off switch can be configured as an audio mute switch. When used as an audio mute switch, the power switch causes the transmitter’s audio to be muted when the switch is placed in the Off position. The Power LED double blinks green to indicate that the transmitter is in Audio Mute Mode.

In Audio Mute Mode, the transmitter can still be turned off by starting with the Power On/Off switch in the On position, then toggling the Power Switch three times (ending in the Off position) within five seconds to initiate the power off sequence. The sequence would be:

On (starting position)-Off-On-Off-On-Off.

Audio Mute Mode will persist when the unit is powered up again, until it is changed with the procedure at right.

Determine Power Switch FunctionUse the following procedure to determine the currently selected function for the Power On/Off Switch.

1) If the transmitter is turned off, set the Power Switch On and observe the Power LED to confirm that a good battery is installed.

2) After the power up sequence completes, place the POWER On/Off switch in the Off position and observe the Power LED.

3) If the Power LED slowly double blinks green, the Power On/Off Switch is in Audio Mute Mode. If the Power LED fast blinks red then goes out, the Power Switch is in Normal or Power Mode.

Changing Power Switch Function1) Ensure the Power On/Off switch is in the On

position.

2) With a battery installed, open the Battery Compart-ment to expose the Frequency Select Switches.

3) With a small screwdriver (included with your unit), set the Frequency Select Switches to F,F (for Func-tion, Function).

4) Rapidly toggle the Power On/Off switch off, then on again.

5) Set the Frequency Select Switches for the desired configuration from the choices below:

Normal Mode: 1,1

Audio Mute Mode: 2,2


7) Set the Frequency Select Switches to 0,0.


Note: At this time, the power LED will blink the code for the selected compatibility mode, just as it does at powerup, as a comfirmation.

9) To confirm the power switch mode, observe the behavior of the LED while turning off the transmitter. Refer to Step 3 in the previous section (Determine Power Switch Function).

UT


The transmitter is powered by a standard alkaline or lithium 9 Volt battery. Alkaline batteries will provide about 3.5 hours of operation while the lithium batteries will operate the transmitter for about 6.5 hours.

Note: The battery status lamp will function normally only with alkaline or lithium batteries. Standard zinc-carbon batteries marked “heavy duty” or “long-lasting” are not adequate. They will provide only about 30 minutes of operation.

NiMH rechargeable batteries will work, but they run down quite abruptly. Because of this, using the Power LED to verify battery status not reliable with NiMH bat-teries. However, a number of Lectrosonics receivers incorporate a Battery Timer function which tracks the amount of time the transmitter signal is detected (See your receiver manual to determine if this function is available.) By using the receiver’s battery timer and re-placing the transmitter battery before the premeasured time is up, users can minimize potential loss of audio when NiMH batteries are used.

The battery compartment is located in the lower sec-tion of the transmitter, between the two printed circuit boards. Follow the steps illustrated to the right to install a fresh battery.

Note the two differently sized holes in the battery contact pad inside the Battery Compartment. Insert the battery so that the large hole in the battery contact pad will line up with the large contact on the battery. A spring-loaded plunger in the bottom of the compartment (opposite the contact pad) secures the battery in place.

Battery Installation

The battery status is indicated by the Power LED on the bottom panel. The Power LED glows green when a new battery is installed, then changes to red as battery con-dition deteriorates. It begins blinking red as the battery nears depletion. Battery status is also displayed on the front panel LCD of some Lectrosonics receivers. See the associated receiver manual for further details.

Note: It is possible to insert the battery backwards and still be able to close the battery door. No damage will occur but the transmitter will not operate in this condition.


Rio Rancho, NM 15

Operating NotesThe Audio Level control should not be used to control the volume of the overall sound system or recorder levels. This gain adjustment is used to match the trans-mitter gain with the user’s voice level and microphone position.

If the audio level is too high — both Modulation LEDs glow red sporadically. This condition will reduce the dynamic range of the audio signal.

If the audio level is too low — neither Modulation LED will glow, or only the -20 LED will glow green. This condition may cause hiss and noise in the audio.

Different voices will usually require different settings of the Audio Level control, so check the Audio Level settings as each new person uses the UT. If several dif-ferent people will be using the same UT and there is not time to make the adjustment for each individual, adjust it for the loudest voice.

Adjusting the Transmitter FrequencyIf you are experiencing interference from another signal on your operating frequency, you may need to change the operating frequency of your system. This is done through two Frequency Switches located under the Bat-tery Compartment Cover.

The left switch is for coarse frequency adjustment, and it increments the operating frequency in 1.6 MHz steps. The right switch is for fine frequency adjustment and it increments the operating frequency in 100 kHz steps.

All 400 Series receivers (and a number of earlier receiv-ers) offer front panel LCDs that indicate the correct transmitter switch settings, and provide built-in scan-ning functions to help locate clear channels. Use the scanning functions on these receivers to find a clear channel, then switch both the receiver and transmitter to the Frequency Select Switch settings indicated in the receiver’s display.

The R400A model receivers have an autotune function (SmartTune™) that automatically locates clear operat-ing channels.

If your receiver does not have an autotune or built in scanning function, manually tune the receiver across its band and find a frequency where little or no RF activity is displayed, with the transmitter turned off .

After finding a clear channel, set the transmitter to this new frequency, then turn it on and make sure the RF signal is strongly indicated at the receiver. Be sure the switch settings on the receiver and transmitter are set exactly the same. If, for example, the 100K switch is one click above or below the desired frequency, the receiver will indicate RF, but no audio (or severely dis-torted audio) will be produced.

Service and RepairIf your system malfunctions, you should attempt to correct or isolate the trouble before concluding that the equipment needs repair. Make sure you have followed the setup procedure and operating instructions. Check the interconnect-ing cables and then go through the Troubleshooting section in this manual.

We strongly recommend that you do not try to repair the equipment yourself and do not have the local repair shop attempt anything other than the simplest repair. If the repair is more complicated than a broken wire or loose connec-tion, send the unit to the factory for repair and service. Don’t attempt to adjust any controls inside the units. Once set at the factory, the various controls and trimmers do not drift with age or vibration and never require readjustment. There are no adjustments inside that will make a malfunctioning unit start working.

LECTROSONICS’ Service Department is equipped and staffed to quickly repair your equipment. In-warranty repairs are made at no charge in accordance with the terms of the warranty. Out-of-warranty repairs are charged at a modest flat rate plus parts and shipping. Since it takes almost as much time and effort to determine what is wrong as it does to make the repair, there is a charge for an exact quotation. We will be happy to quote approximate charges by phone for out-of-warranty repairs.

Returning Units for RepairFor timely service, please follow the steps below:

A. DO NOT return equipment to the factory for repair without first contacting us by letter or by phone. We need to know the nature of the problem, the model number and the serial number of the equipment. We also need a phone number where you can be reached 8 A.M. to 4 P.M. (U.S. Mountain Standard Time).

B. After receiving your request, we will issue you a return authorization number (R.A.). This number will help speed your repair through our receiving and repair departments. The return authorization number must be clearly shown on the outside of the shipping container.

C. Pack the equipment carefully and ship to us, shipping costs prepaid. If necessary, we can provide you with the proper packing materials. UPS is usually the best way to ship the units. Heavy units should be “double-boxed” for safe transport.

D. We also strongly recommend that you insure the equipment, since we cannot be responsible for loss of or dam-age to equipment that you ship. Of course, we insure the equipment when we ship it back to you.

General Technical DescriptionFeatures

The multi-frequency UCR100 FM Receiver is designed to operate with the Lectrosonics UM100 Transmitter and features microprocessor control of 256 frequencies of operation within each frequency block. Each block cov-ers 25.5 MHz with 0.1 MHz frequency spacing. Any one of ten different frequency blocks are factory available from 537.6 MHz to 805.5 MHz (except 608 to 614 MHz).

The receiver’s unique microcontroller design provides simple operation for audio level/limit LED monitor-ing, RF level LED monitoring, squelch, easy on-the-fly frequency programming and low battery warning. The UCR100 Receiver uses 20 kHz FM deviation for ef-ficient use of the bandwidth and dual band companding for clean quiet audio. The receiver operates on one 9 Volt alkaline battery for up to 8 hours and features a blinking LED low battery indicator. The voltages are internally regulated for stability. The receiver is housed in a compact, rugged, lightweight aluminum enclosure. The unit features a durable integral swing-aside battery compartment door.

Dual Band CompandorTraditionally, compandors have been a source of distor-tion in wireless microphone systems. The basic problem with conventional systems is that the attack and decay times are always a compromise. If the time constants are fast, high frequency transients will not be distorted, but this will cause low frequency distortion. If the time constants are slower, low frequency audio distortion will be low, but high frequency transients will then be distorted.

The 100 system introduces the proven Lectrosonics ap-proach to solving this basic problem, called “dual-band companding.”

There are actually two separate compandors in the 100 system, one for high frequencies and one for low fre-quencies. A crossover network separates the frequency bands at 1kHz with a 6dB per octave slope, followed by separate high and low frequency compandors. The attack and release times in the high frequency com-pandor are fast enough to keep high frequency tran-sient distortion at a low level, and the low frequency compandor uses slower time constants, reducing low frequency distortion to well below that of a conventional compandor.

Pre-Emphasis/De-EmphasisThe signal to noise ratio of the 100 system is extended by utilizing pre-emphasis (HF boost) in the transmitter and de-emphasis (HF roll off) in the receiver. Pre-em-phasis and de-emphasis in an FM radio system usually provides about a 10dB improvement in the signal to noise ratio of the system, but the high frequency boost in the transmitter must be removed in a purely comple-mentary manner or else the frequency response of the original audio signal will be altered.

The dual-band compandor in the 100 Series system essentially provides a dynamic pre-emphasis/de-em-phasis function with low distortion.

Modulation LEDsThe two modulation LED’s indicate the modulation (audio level) of the incoming signal and can be used for proper adjustment of the transmitter’s mic or audio level.

The -20 LED glows when the transmitter modulation is at a high enough level to produce a good audio signal-to-noise ratio. It will normally flicker, or stay lit as you speak into the microphone. The 0 dB lamp indicates a “peak,” showing that the transmitter modulation is at maximum. Constant lighting of the 0 dB LED indicates that the audio gain in the transmitter may be set too high. It is normal and desirable that you see an occa-sional flicker of the 0 dB lamp in typical use.

Power ON/OFF SwitchTurns the receiver on or off.

Power LEDThe Power LED glows when the power switch is in the ON position and the battery is good. The power LED starts blinking when the battery is becoming exhausted and needs replacement. If the LED does not light up when the switch is turned on or during operation, replace the battery. In normal operation a new alkaline battery will operate the receiver approximately 5 hours before the LED starts blinking and will continue operat-ing for approximately another 3 hours before the LED goes off. At that point the unit and the other LED’s will continue operating for another hour or so but with some degradation in performance. During the low bat-tery blinking period the LED on time decreases as the battery becomes depleated. See the chart in Battery Instructions.

The battery level is precision monitored by the internal microprocessor which also drives the Power LED for accurate battery condition.

Controls & Functions

IMPORTANT! When the battery voltage drops below 6 Volts, the power LED will remain off, but the other 3 LEDs will light up and a rush of audio noise and distortion will be heard as the squelch opens. This condition is normal, and is easily remedied by replacing the battery.

RF LEDLights when the transmitter is turned on and the re-ceiver has a strong RF signal. The RF LED will start blinking when the RF carrier signal from the transmitter becomes too weak to produce a clean audio signal. The lamp will go out completely when the RF signal is absent or extremely weak.

Audio Out JackThe 3.5mm mini phone jack provides an audio output that is controlled by the Audio LEVEL control on the front panel. Generally, the Audio LEVEL control would be set to provide the proper output level to match the required level for your video camera or other equip-ment.

The 3.5mm mini jack will accommodate a mono plug (tip & sleeve) or a stereo type jack (tip/ring & sleeve) without harm to the unit. When using a pair of stereo headphones the audio will be mono but will drive both earphones in the correct (binaural) phase.

The output at this mini connector jack is designed to also drive a standard impedance earphone, typically 30 Ohms (most common) and usually provides adequate volume for setup and testing. The sound from a low impedance ear phone (ie. 8 Ohms) will not be very loud and may be distorted at higher listening levels.

Audio Level ControlAttenuates the audio output level of the receiver to match the input requirements of the equipment with which it is used. The 3.5mm Mini output jack on the front panel provides an audio output at adjustable levels for low or high impedance, unbalanced inputs. At the extreme counter-clockwise position of the control knob, the output level of the Mini jack will be -50dBV at full modulation. In the fully clockwise position, the output level will be 0dBV (1 Vrms) at full modulation. intermedi-ate settings are sometimes necessary due to the varia-tions in different input compressors and ALC (automatic level control) circuits on various VCR’s and audio inputs. The markings around the control knob are provided simply as “memory markers;” they are not calibrated with reference to a specific output level.

AntennaThe antenna is a 1/4 wavelength 50 ohm flexible non-removable antenna made of durable sheathed bronze wire.

Frequency Select SwitchesThese two rotary switches adjust the center frequency of the carrier. The 1.6M is a coarse adjustment and the 100K is the fine adjustment. Each transmitter is factory aligned at the center of its operating range. The default position of the frequency select switches is in the center of the transmitter’s range. The receiver and transmitter switches must be set to the same number/letter combi-nation for proper operation.

To gain access to these switches, slide the access door sideways with a fingernail.

1. Install the battery.

2. Set the “FREQUENCY” switches on the side panel to match the switches on the Transmitter.

3. Connect the audio cable.

4. Set the front panel switch to ON. Check to see that the red POWER LED lights up.

5. THIS IS PERHAPS THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP IN THE SET UP PROCEDURE. Adjust the transmitter “gain”. See your transmitter manual (Operating Instructions section) for specific direc-tions on the proper gain adjustment of your particu-lar transmitter.

6. Adjust the output control according to the type of in-put on your equipment. The input levels on different VCR’s and PA equipment vary, which may require that you set the output LEVEL control in an interme-diate position. Try different settings and listen to the results. If the output of the receiver is too high, you may hear distortion or a loss of the natural dynam-ics of the audio signal. If the output is too low, you may hear steady noise (hiss) along with the audio. The UCR100 output was designed to drive camera line level inputs but can operate into camera MIC inputs if the receiver output is reduced to prevent Automatic Limiting Control “pumping” in the cam-era. The output signal level ranges from -50 dBV with the output control fully counter clockwise to 0 dBV with the output control fully clockwise when the transmitter signal is at full modulation.

Indicator Quick ReferenceRF - This LED lights up when the transmitter is turned on. This indicates that the receiver is getting an ad-equate RF signal (carrier) from the transmitter.

POWER - This LED lights up when the receiver is switched on. It indicates proper battery voltage when the receiver is using a battery. See chart in Battery Instructions.

MODULATION - The “-20” LED lights up when an audio signal is present at an adequate level to produce a good signal to noise ratio. The “0dB” LED lights up when the audio level is high and the signal is being compressed in the transmitter. An extremely high audio level may cause distortion.

Operating InstructionsBattery Instructions

The battery should be a 9 Volt alkaline or lithium, avail-able almost everywhere. An alkaline battery will provide up to 8 hours of operation and a lithium battery will provide up to 20 hours of operation. Carbon zinc batter-ies, even if marked “heavy duty” will only provide about 2 hours of operation. Rechargeable batteries will only operate the receiver for an hour or less. Make sure your batteries are marked “alkaline” or “lithium.” Short battery life is almost always caused by weak batteries or batteries of the wrong type.

A steady “ON” LED corresponds to a fresh battery. The LED will blink to indicate a low battery condition and the need for a fresh battery. Continued use will fur-ther deplete the battery eventually causing the LED to automatically turn itself off and remain off until a fresh battery is installed.

To replace the battery, open the bottom battery door cover with your thumb, rotate the door until it is perpen-dicular with the case and allow the battery to fall out of the compartment into your hand. Observe the large and small holes in the battery contact pad before inserting a new battery. Insert the contact end of the battery first, making sure the contacts are aligned with the holes in the contact pad, and then swing the door closed. You will feel it snap into place when it is fully closed.
