Features Features Each of the UWP-C1/C2/S1/S2/X1/ X2 wireless microphone packages (referred to as the UWP series hereafter) combines a transmitter (body-pack transmitter (UTX-B1) or hand-held microphone (UTX-H1)) and a receiver (portable diversity tuner (URX-P1), half-rack size diversity tuner (URX-R1), or diversity tuner module (URX-M1)).
Half-rack size diversity tuner (URX-R1) This tuner employs a space diversity system with little signal dropout and two angle-adjustable antennas. It comes with two types of audio connectors (1/4-inch jack and XLR type) on the rear panel. UWP-S2 Hand-held microphone (UTX-H1) This microphone is equipped with a built-in antenna and a unidirectional dynamic microphone unit. The RF power output can be set at 10 mW or at 2 mW.
Precautions Precautions • The UWP series product must be used within a temperature range of 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F). • Operating the UWP series product near electrical equipment (motors, transformers, or dimmers) may cause it to be affected by electromagnetic induction. Keep the UWP series product as far from such equipment as possible. • The presence of the lighting equipment may produce electrical interference over the entire frequency range.
