CARVIN UX1200R User Manual

INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the UX1200R UHF True Diversity receiver,
part of the UX1200/UX600 Professional Modular Wireless System. The UX1200R
works with the UX600M handheld mic transmitter or the UX600B belt-pack trans-
mitter. The headworn mic UX-HM3 (black) or UX-HM3T (tan), Lavalier mic UX-LP1,
or instrument cable UXGT are available input options for the UX600B belt-pack.
The UX1200R receiver features UHF true diversity reception. Two completely inde-
pendent RF receivers each with it's own antenna on the same frequency are com-
pared. Automatic logic circuitry continuously selects the superior signal, providing
the best sound quality and reducing the possibility of interference and dropouts.
Backlit LCD displays on the receiver and transmitters display channel, group,
battery level and mute status, with 3-button access to frequency, channel and level
settings with LOCK mode to prevent accidental changes. The transmitters also
feature a quick mute feature, quieting the mic or beltpack with a short press of the
power button.
The UX1200/UX600 system has 1441 user selectable frequencies, or you can
select by 6 groups of 23 channels for ease of use with multiple systems. Up to 16
systems can be used simultaneously.
GETTING STARTED QUICkLY
If you're like most new owners, you're probably in a hurry to use your wireless system.
To start, you must have the receiver (Carvin UX1200R), a transmitter (Carvin UX600M
handheld mic, or the Carvin UX600B with a compatible mic UX-HM3 / UX-LP1 or UXGT
cable plugged into an instrument), an XLR or 1/4" cable, and a sound system or instru-
ment amplifier to hear the signal through.
1. TRANSmITTER CONNECTIONS Insert 2 fresh AA alkaline batteries into the
transmitter. For the UX600B beltpack, connect the headset mic, lavalier mic, or cable and
instrument to the belt-pack.
2. RECEIVER CONNECTIONS (UX1200R)
Attach the 2 included antennas to the connectors on the rear of the unit.
Connect the included AC adapter to the UX1200R, then plug it into the proper AC power.
Using an XLR cable or shielded 1/4" cable, connect one of the UX1200R outputs to your
sound system or instrument amplifier.
3. RECEIVER POwER ON Turn down the VOLUME of the UX1200R and the
system it is connected to. On the front right of the UX1200R, press the POWER button.
4. TRANSmITTER POwER ON Press the power button on the end of the
UX600M mic or, on the top of the UX600B belt-pack transmitter. The LCD display should
turn on. (when ON: a quick press will MUTE on/off, HOLD to turn OFF)
5. CHANNEL CHECk Check that both the transmitter and receiver display the
same Group-Channel setting.
To change Group and Channel on UX1200R or UX600M/UX600B:
Hold in the SET button until the display shows SETTING for one second, then the first
digit (Group) will be blinking.
Use the UP/DOWN buttons to match the Group on the transmitter and receiver.
Press SET to have the second digit (Channel) blinking, then use the UP/DOWN buttons
to match the channel. Press SET to save and exit.
If using multiple systems, each transmitter/receiver pair must be set to a different group-
channel setting.
6. SOUND CHECk Use the mic or play the instrument as intended. Set the
VOLUME on the front of the UX1200R to a low level (about 9 o'clock). Gradually raise
the output levels on the sound system or amp to a comfortable volume. If distortion
occurs and the UX1200R front panel "AF" audio level meter is showing Orange or Red
LEDs then lower the transmitter levels: UX600M(dB setting), UX600B (SENSIT and ATT
settings). If distortion is still heard, try lowering the preamp level on your sound system
or amp. You can also lower the UX1200R output by -20dB with the "At ON" output
attenuation setting.
