INTRODUCTION

Your new wireless Series system is designed to give you the best of both sound reinforcement worlds: the freedom of a wireless system, and the excellent quality. This manual covers each of the Series system:  The VocalArtist-UHF, The Presenter-UHF, The headset-UHF  and The Guitarist-UHF.

SYSTEM FEATURES

All UHF Series systems offer a variety of exceptional features, including:

1. Simultaneous Output Use: Unbalanced 1/4′ phone plug and balanced XLR output connectors may be used simultaneously to different external devices.
2. Range: UHF Series transmitters will work at a distance of up to 50 meters (About 164 ft.) from the receiver.
3. Noise Squelch: Squelch circuit analyzes signal strength and quality so that can reduce the likelihood of noise burst due to environmental RF (radio frequency) noise.
4. Low Battery Warning Light: A red light on the body-pack and hand-held transmitters warns the user that there is less than one hour of battery

SYSTEM CONNECTION

1. Receiver Power Connection: Connect the DC connector of supplied AC/DC adapter Into the DC power input of receiver. Plug the AC Input connecter into an AC120/60Hz or AC220V/50Hz outlet. (Shown as below)

2. Antenna : Keep the position of antenna at a 45 angle from vertical.
   (Shown as below)

3. Audio Connection: Connect the corresponding output of receiver by supplied 1/4w phone jack audio cable or your XLR cable to the Input of power amplifier, mixer .

The audio gain control on transmitter has been factory-at the mid-range position for best performance in most applications. This may be necessary for soft singers or talkers, or guitar or basses with low outputs.

• To Increase Gain: Rotate the transmitter  gain control clockwise using a screwdriver to increase audio gain.
• To Reduce Gain: Rotate the transmitter gain control counterclockwise with the screwdriver to reduce audio gain.
• To return audio gain to the factory setting, rotate the transmitter audio gain control to the mid position.

TIPS FOR ACHIEVING MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE

• Make sure you can always see a receiver antenna from the transmitter position.
• Keep the distance from transmitter to receiver antenna as short as possible.
• Point receiver antennas away from each other at a 45 angle from vertical. Avoid placing the receiver antennas near metal surfaces and obstruction.
• If stacking or rack mounting receivers in a multiple-system use situation, do not allow antennas to touch or cross.
• Perform a walk-through before Performance or Presentation. If dead spots are found, adjust location of receiver. If dead spots remain, mark spots and avoid.

Frequently Asked Questions

Would this be a goood system for a large state-of-the-art church ? How is the sound any drop outs, or distortions how’s quality?

I really like Pyle products. I’m a DJ/KJ and had returned this particular model because since all four mics are set on the same frequency and if more than one mic is live and in use, one mic had the tendency of overpowering the others and causing the others to “shut down” – as I experienced during a couple of my gigs. Just to rule out any fluke, I decided to use the same system on another gig and the same thing happened. The voice quality is great but I would not recommend this model if more than one mic is being used simultaneously. I eventually purchased a four-mic system (UHF) with each of the mics having its own different frequency.

Does it use 8 volt or AA?

AA

Can these be used with portable sound system?

Yes, I use it with my portable Karaoke machine!

Can the receiver be used for other microphones? For example a lapel microphone?

I am not sure. In our case both of our lapel microphones were on a much lower frequency, VHF and these are UHF.

What’s the warranty?

1 year parts & labor…

Can 2 units be used at the same time w/out mic interefence?

We bought two units and did run into some interference because the channels could be picked up on either unit. We ended up only needing one unit right now so we are good. If we use the second unit I will need to contact Pyle to see if we can change frequency.

Would you recommend these for a large church ?can mics be on 4 different frequencies?

Works very well, but preferable to use rechargeable batteries, cause the other batteries don’t last

Can you hook this receiver up to a lap top & maybe podcast with multiple mics?

On the back of the unit there is a 1/4″ mono jack that outputs the combined signals from the 4 mics. The volume level of each mic is separately controllable as is the output level to the jack. With a suitable adapter cable this should allow connection to the mic input of a lap top.

Whats the range of the microphone in feet?

Hi, the mic works around 30 to 50 ft away from the receiver without obstacles.

What wires come with this system? do i need to buy these as well? No dont buy those wires, it comes with the wires that connect to your amp.

I’m Martin and I work for Pyleaudio. The unbalanced port is for a single connection between the microphone set and the amplifier or mixer. Unlike the balance connection which you will need to connect each channel of the microphone to the mixer.

How do you connect amp/speakers to this?

I use these mics for karaoke, and I use the 1/4 in output jack on the microphones to the karaoke mic input and the karaoke RCA outputs to my receiver.
