System Set Up Mounting Instructions This component is designed to fit into an audio rack. Warning: To prevent injury this apparatus must be securely attached to the rack.
A wireless audio channel is formed when a receiver and transmitter are tuned to the same frequency. To minimize interference, Shure wireless systems organize RF bands into predefined groups and channels. A group is a set of compatible frequencies 14/78...
Shure Incorporated within a frequency band. A single frequency within a group is a channel. Tune a receiver and transmitter to the best available channel within its group to set up your system. Use a frequency scan to analyze the RF environment for interference and identify available frequencies. There are three types of scan: •...
Shure Incorporated Group Scan Group scan automatically finds all available frequencies within a group. Available frequencies can be automatically deployed to receiver channels and other networked components. From the Channel or Carrier menu: Spectrum Scan > Group Scan. Press Scan to analyze the available spectrum.
Shure Incorporated Programming Transmitters Using IR Presets Configuring IR presets allow all transmitter parameters to be automatically set from the receiver during an IR sync. Individual parameters can be configured in the IR Presets menu. Each preset has the default value of No Change, which leave that setting unchanged by an IR sync.
Shure Incorporated • Sync: IR sync and assign the receiver to the selected slot. Channel Quality Meter The home screen displays a channel quality meter, providing a visual indicator of the signal-to-noise ratio of the RF signal. When the RF signal is strong with a low level of noise, all five segments of the meter are filled or the number 5 is displayed.
