    US. The specific concerns and needs brought up in these conversa- tions led directly to the development of the operational features offered on the UT400. Two hundred fifty six frequencies are user selectable in 100 kHz steps to alleviate interference problems in travelling venues.
  • Page 4: General Technical Description

    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.
  • Page 5: No Pre-Emphasis/De-Emphasis

    RF signal is present on the carrier frequency of the system. The UT400 extends this concept even further by ensuring that all transmitters in a system have differ- ent pilot tone frequencies so that even spurious RF from the wrong transmitters can’t open the receiver squelch.
  • Page 6: Controls And Functions

    LOCKED MODE The UT400 can be placed in a locked mode where neither the Power switch nor the Frequency Switches have any further effect on operation. This protects the unit from accidental power-off or misadjustment after it has been pre- pared for use.

    Digital Hybrid, Frequency Agile, Hand-held Transmitter To enter locked mode, toggle the Power switch off and on again rapidly three times. (Each toggle must take no longer than two seconds and no more than ten seconds may elapse between successive 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 returning to normal battery status indication when the switch is on again.

    UT400 VARIMIC CONTROLS Caution - Due to the high RF levels surrounding the transmitter, the sound of the VariMic 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.

    -3dB @ 71Hz for normal operation. -20dB @ 50Hz SUBSONIC NOISE FILTER In addition to the tone controls, the UT400 also has a built in subsonic noise (or high pass) filter. This filter is fixed and cannot be 10Hz 100Hz...

    Note: If you find that the Audio Level control is set to minimum and both Audio Level LEDs are glowing red, then it may be necessary to adjust the Preamp Level Control. This control is located under the UT400’s windscreen. Unscrew the windscreen and carefully lift it off the top of the unit. See the VARIMIC CONTROLS section for these adjustments.
  • Page 11: Operating Notes

    Different voices will usually require different settings of the Audio Level control, so check the Audio Level settings as each new person uses the UT400. If several different people will be using the same UT400 and there is not time to make the adjustment for each individual, adjust it for the loudest voice.
