5.1 Operating information
The quality of the wireless transmission depends on various local factors as well as the degree of
radiation and reception at transmitter and receiver, unlike the signal transmission over cable. To
minimize the risk of interference, take the following suggestions into account for a smooth operation
of the wireless system.
5.1.1 Attach the transmitter
For optimal operation of the transmitter, please observe the following when attaching the transmitter:
Use only the provided headset and ensure that the mini XLR-connector is fastened correctly.
Attach the transmitter to a belt by using the provided clip instead of simply placing it into a
pocket, for instance. The optimal freedom of movement is guaranteed by fastening the transmitter
to one's back or side.
Make sure the headset's cable is not wrapped around or comes into contact with the antenna; this
would result in an impairment of the transmission.
Avoid direct body contact with the antenna to attain a maximum range.
The 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 to
avoid the conveyance of breathing sounds.
5.1.2 General information
Always make sure that the devices are not operated in direct proximity of large metallic
surfaces (radiators, metal racks, reinforced concrete walls and similar).
The devices should always be at a height of at least 1 m (3 ft.) off the ground.
To assure good reception in many different positions, we advise against having the antennae
point at a 90-degree angle. Instead, antennae should be arranged at an angle of no more
than 40° in respect to one another.
To assure interference-free reception, ideally there should be no large objects placed between
the transmitter and the receiver. Not only the size but also the type of material play a role in
determining how strong signal interference will be!
Keep a minimum distance of 5 meters between transmitter and sender to avoid signal
overmodulation.
When using multiple transmitters, the distance between the transmitting units should be at least
20 cm to avoid crosstalk (i.e. intermodulation).
Replace 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.
Use the presets to guarantee an interference-free transmission of multiple transmitters and
receivers on up to 8 channels.
If you want to install your ULR2000 in a rack, please read the following chapter; there you can
find all the necessary information.
5.2 Installation in a rack
The ULR2000’s antennae are located in the front of the unit. This allows unproblematic installation
in a rack.
Each unit is delivered with a rack bracket and a connecting joint. This way, you can choose:
1.
If you wish to install only one unit in a rack, mount a rack bracket to one of the sides. In this
case, you will not need the included connecting joint. Now, install one side of the receiver into
the rack.
2.
To install 2 receivers in a rack, first connect the two receivers to one another at the bottom
using the connecting joint. Mount one rack bracket on the left side of one unit and one rack
bracket on the right side of the other unit. Now, both ULR2000s can be installed in a rack.
