Prior to use, we suggest that you carefully read all the instructions.
Cautions
1. All operating instructions should be read before using this equipment.
2. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not open the unit. There are NO
USER REPLACEABLE PARTS INSIDE. Please refer servicing to a
qualified service technician.
3. Do not expose this unit to direct sunlight or to a heat source such as a
radiator or stove.
4. Dust, dirt and debris can interfere with the performance of this unit. Make
an effort to keep the unit away from dusty, dirty environments, and cover
the unit when it is not in use. Dust it regularly with a soft, clean brush.
5. When moving this equipment, it should be placed in its original carton
and packaging. This will reduce the risk of damage during transit.

UX-1610 Wireless System
The UX-1610 diversity UHF series wireless system is a high quality audio
product that has built in noise reduction and utilizes the diversity reception
technique. Diversity receivers contain two completely independent receivers
tuned to the same frequency within a single chassis. An internal processor
compares the signal strengths at the output of each receiver and determines
which receiver has the clearest and strongest signal, and then that signal is
directed to the audio output. This is an automatic function that can be
monitored by watching the A-B diversity indicators on the front panel of the
receiver.
The systems available all operate on a UHF high band frequency between
863.125 MHZ to 864.875 MHZ.
The systems available are:
UX-1610M - equipped with the UM-68 hand held microphone
transmitter.
UX-1610L - equipped with the UB-68L belt pack transmitter
with lavalier mic.
UX-1610H - equipped with the UB-68H belt pack transmitter
with headset mic.
Receiver Operation
1. Remove all packing materials. Save the box and packing material to
transport the unit in the unlikely event that the unit requires service.
2. The UX-1610 has 15 selectable frequencies so that you can choose the
one with the least amount of interference. The illustration shows the dip
switch settings for the 15 frequencies.
Set the dip switches on the receiver and the belt pack transmitter or
hand held mic transmitter to matching frequencies. The dip switches for
the receiver are located on the front panel. The dip switches for the belt
pack transmitter are located on the side of the belt pack. The dip
switches for the hand held mic can be accessed by opening the battery
holder on the side of the mic.
3. Plug the AC adapter into the rear of the receiver where the jack is
labeled DC 12-18V. Then plug the adapter into an appropriate AC outlet.
Note: The adapter is available in 120V AC or 230V AC.
4. The receiver is supplied with 2 output jacks. The UNBALANCED
OUTPUT is used to connect the receiver to your amp, effects or mixer
mic jack using a standard mic cable with a 1/4” connector. The BAL-
ANCED OUTPUT is used to connect the receiver to your amp, effects or
mixer mic jack using a standard mic cable with a XLR connector. We
recommend using the balanced output if the cable to your amp, effects
or mixer mic jack is 10 feet or more. The BALANCED OUTPUT has
three separate conductors, two of which are signal (positive and
negative) and one shield (ground). Pin 1 is ground (shield). Pin 2 is
signal hot (positive). Pin 3 is signal cold (negative).
5. Point the antenna upward. Switch the power to the ON position.
6. Adjust the volume using the LEVEL control on the front panel.
7. Adjusting the squelch on the receiver can eliminate such problems as
bleeding that occurs from using several systems at the same time or
interference from local television. To adjust the squelch, place the small
plastic tool (included with the unit) in the hole marked SQUELCH at the
back of the unit, and slowly turn the tool to adjust the output level to just
above the level of background noise. Setting the squelch too high will
reduce the range of the system. Setting the squelch too low will increase
the level of unwanted noise.
Hand Held Transmitter Features
• High sensitivity cardioid capsule for professional use
• Special noise absorption material inside the mic barrel eliminates switch
shock and handling noise
Cautions
1. Do not drop the microphone element.
2. Do not strike the microphone element with your fist or fingers, and do not
blow strongly into the microphone head front.
3. Do not use the microphone in areas of high humidity and/or high
temperature as this could lead to damage of the microphone.
