ULTRALINK UL2000M 1. INTRODUCTION Thank you very much for expressing your confidence in the ULTRALINK Series by purchasing this unit. With the UL2000M from BEHRINGER, you have acquired a modern, high-performance wireless transmission system. Thanks to its amazing set of features, you can use the UL2000M in all situations in which the highest sound quality and mobility are a must, e.g. live concerts, events and video productions.
ULTRALINK UL2000M 1. Keep the button (A) on the front side of the power supply pressed to release the plug. Pull the plug out and let go of the button. 2. Insert a different plug into the power supply unit. The plug is securely snapped into place when you hear a click. Fig. 1.1: Swapping plugs on the switching power supply unit 1.1.4 Initial operation of the microphone The ULM2000 microphone requires one or two 9V batteries. Of course, using only one 9V battery decreases the effective uptime.
ULTRALINK UL2000M 2. ULR2000 RECEIVER 2.1 Control elements and connections In this chapter, different control elements of your ULR2000 will be described, explained in detail, and you will get useful information on how to use them. 2.1.1 The front Fig. 2.1: ULR2000’s front side POWER To power the ULR2000 on or off, keep the POWER button pressed for at least 2 seconds. To disconnect the unit from the mains, please unplug the power supply.
ULTRALINK UL2000M COLOR CODE Each BEHRINGER ULTRALINK transmitter can be color-coded using a color ring; this way you can easily differentiate between multiple transmitters (set to different frequencies). To easily match a transmitter to a receiver, you can also attach color-coded strips to each receiver. ANTENNA Two bar antennae can be connected to the ANTENNA 1 and ANTENNA 2 connectors. 2.1.2 Display Fig. 2.
ULTRALINK UL2000M MUTE MUTE indicates that the ULR2000’s output is being muted. If the received and demodulated AF starts getting weaker, the noise increases; the signal-to-noise ratio gets smaller. The SQUELCH menu item lets you enter a threshold value (in dB) for the signal-to-noise ratio. If this ratio gets smaller than the threshold value, the receiver automatically mutes the signal (ch. 2.2.3). 2.1.3 The back Fig. 2.3: ULR2000’s back The power is supplied via a 12 V connector.
ULTRALINK UL2000M 4. If a valid frequency value is set, press the SET button again. In the display, you are asked to enter where you want to save your settings. Depending on the basic settings (ch. 2.2.5), the ULR2000 asks you to enter a channel color (BLUE, RED, ...) or a channel number (CHAN1, CHAN2, ...). 5. A storage location can be selected by pressing the 6. Press the SET button again to store your frequency at the location you selected.
ULTRALINK UL2000M 2.2.4 AUTO MUTE If the transmitter is turned on, off, or is switched to another channel without first muting the receiver, or if the transmission drops out due to weak batteries, audible noise will result. Even if the noise limiter is enabled on the receiver (ch. 2.2.3), it still requires some time to react, and such noise can not be suppressed safely.
ULTRALINK UL2000M Deactivating LOCK 1. Press the SET button. LOC ON is shown in the display. 2. Press the 3. Press the SET button confirm, hence deactivating the keylock function. The procedure is now over, and the basic settings are shown in the display again. UP or DOWN button once to select LOCOFF. 2.2.7 PRESET The ULR2000 lets you work with 4 presets, each with 8 channels. Factory presets (Presets 2, 3 and 4) In the ULR2000, there are 3 factory presets (each with 8 interference-free channels).
ULTRALINK UL2000M 3. ULM2000 MICROPHONE 3.1 Control elements In this chapter, different control elements of your ULM2000 will be described, explained in detail, and you will get useful information on how to use them. Fig. 3.1: ULM2000’s underside POWER To power the hand-held transmitter on or off, keep the POWER button pressed for at least 2 seconds. Briefly pressing the POWER button confirms your choices when entering values (refers to later chapters).
ULTRALINK UL2000M 1. Turn the selection switch to one of the positions 1 - 8, corresponding to the desired channel number. If a valid value is selected (i.e. neither 9 nor 0), the LED blinks quickly once as a confirmation. 2. Briefly press the POWER button. The LED blinks with medium tempo. The number of individual flashes within one cycle corresponds to the value/channel number selected on the selection switch.
ULTRALINK UL2000M 7. After a second blink pause, an additional blink code is given as a confirmation: A successfully stored frequency is signaled with 2 slow blinks. The transmitter leaves the programming mode. If the LED blinks quickly 5 times, the frequency was not stored. In this case, start anew with step 2. If no entry is made for more than 5 seconds (either on the selection switch or by pressing the POWER button), the LED blinks quickly 5 times, and the programming mode is aborted. 8.
ULTRALINK UL2000M If no entry is made for more than 5 seconds (either on the selection switch or by pressing the POWER button), the LED blinks quickly 5 times, and the programming mode is aborted. 6. After a second brief blink break, an additional blink code is given as a confirmation: 7. Successful loading of a preset is signaled with two slow blinks. The unit leaves the programming mode. If the preset could not be loaded, the LED blinks quickly 5 times. In this case, start anew with step 2.
ULTRALINK UL2000M For the Auto Mute function to work, it has to be activated on both the transmitter and the receiver! Activating/deactivating the Auto Mute function 1. Engage MUTE. The transmitter can now be switched into the programming mode. 2. Turn the selection switch to 0 and confirm your selection by keeping the POWER switch pressed for 2 seconds. As a confirmation, the LED blinks slowly once and then once again with medium tempo.
ULTRALINK UL2000M If the receiver is not powered on, no status is indicated. Briefly pressing the POWER button will neither turn the transmitter on nor off! 3.3.2 Transmission frequency 1. Turn the selection switch to 9. The position of the MUTE switch is irrelevant. 2. Briefly press the POWER button. 3. Just like during programming, 6 blink medium-tempo codes indicate the individual digits that make up the transmission frequency. Individual codes are separated from one another by brief pauses.
ULTRALINK UL2000M 4. APPLICATION EXAMPLE Fig. 4.1 shows how easy it is to use the products from the BEHRINGER ULTRALINK Series. Simply connect the balanced XLR output on the ULR2000 to the XLR input on your mixing console. Of course, you can use the receiver’s TRS output to connect to the next device in the signal path. Fig. 4.1: Wiring the ULR2000 receiver and the ULM2000 microphone 5. INSTALLATION 5.
ULTRALINK UL2000M 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.
ULTRALINK UL2000M 5.3 Audio connections The audio connections on the ULR2000 are laid out electronically balanced. Of course, you can connect unbalanced equipment to the balanced connectors. Fig. 5.2: XLR connections Fig. 5.3: 1/4" TS connector Fig. 5.4: 1/4" TRS connector Unlike other microphones, the ULM2000 hand-held transmitter can not be connected using a cable. It connects to the ULR2000 receiver wirelessly. Cables are only used to pass the signal from the receiver farther down the signal path.
ULTRALINK UL2000M Please ensure that only qualified personnel install and operate the ULM2000. During installation and operation, the user must be sufficiently grounded. Electrostatic charges might affect the operation of the unit. 6.
