    Figure 1. UC2 Controls and Connectors Service Note: Shure recommends that all service procedures be performed by a Factory- Authorized Service Center or that the product be returned directly to Shure Brothers Inc. Licensing: Operation may require a user license. Frequency or power-output modifications may violate this product’s approvals.

    RF POWER RF MUTE RF MUTE AUDIO IN Figure 2. UC2 Hand-Held Transmitter Circuit Block Diagram Audio Section FCC-Approved Audio enters L200, an inductor used as an rf choke. The signal is ac coupled through capacitor C200 into a user adjustable gain stage.
  • Page 4 Shure UC2 Hand-Held UHF Transmitter the amplifier and bias circuits from rf interference. Due to its topology, this stage is unique because it is non-inverting and allows for a gain less than unity. Audio then enters a buffer to the pre-emphasis network and the compression stage.
  • Page 5 Shure UC2 Hand-Held UHF Transmitter ETSI-Approved This transmitter uses the same pcb as the domestic system, but it requires a different topology and different parts. A limiter is inserted between the pre-emphasis and the compressor to limit the occupied bandwidth.

  • Page 6: Digital Section

    Shure UC2 Hand-Held UHF Transmitter The pre-driver stage, Q302, provides approximately 6 to 8 dB of gain, which makes up for the pad. R326 and R327 provide base bias for the transistor, while R328 sets its operating current. L303 is an rf choke used to provide power to the stage, while L304, C332, C333, C357, and C2 provide filtering/matching for the stage.
  • Page 7 Shure UC2 Hand-Held UHF Transmitter mapping of the compatible groups and channels. The microcontroller serially communicates with this part via data and clock lines to read the frequency corresponding to the Group and Channel position. The ability to write to the memory occurs during factory programming only.
  • Page 8 Shure UC2 Hand-Held UHF Transmitter For JA frequencies, the Group switch has 16 positions, and the Channel switch has 10 positions. Power Switch and Mute Interface When a transmitter is turned off, the signal goes to logic low PWRDN on U303, pin 19. This immediately disables the tone key, and the power hold circuit automatically kicks in to bypass the power switch.

    ! CAUTION ! Observe precautions when handling this static-sensitive device. Disassembly 1. Remove the microphone cartridge from the UC2. 2. Use a pair of needlenosed pliers to remove the circuit board retaining ring from inside the handle. 3. Push the bezel tab-snap in the handle behind the contact pcb to remove the bezel and switch actuator.

  • Page 17 Shure UC2 Hand-Held UHF Transmitter Deviation Deviation must be set to make sure the companding systems be- tween the transmitter and receiver correctly track each other. The level coming out of the transmitter’s audio compressor must match the level going into the receiver’s audio expander. A fixed gain structure does not ensure an exact match, primarily because of variations in voltage- controlled oscillators (VCOs).
  • Page 18 2. Reassemble the printed circuit boards. Use a PT1840 test head and brass ring (PT1838-Y) to connect the audio analyzer to the UC2 audio input (J205). Turn ON the Low-Pass (30 kHz) and High-Pass (400 Hz) filters on the audio analyzer.

    Shure UC2 Hand-Held UHF Transmitter Audio Problems No Tone Key No tone key means that the 32.768 kHz tone key sidebands are not visible when the carrier is viewed on a spectrum analyzer. If tone key levels are there but are too low, the deviation is off and needs to be recalibrated.
