Optimizing Wireless Performance Shure ULX-P

Hate it when the speaker is using a wireless and the sound goes out?  Here are three tips for preventing this on the Shure ULX-P.

    Maintaining Line-of-Sight
    Maintain Line-of-Sight
  1. Maintain line-of-sight between the transmitter and receiver antennas as much as possible, particularly for UHF systems. Avoid metal objects, walls, and large numbers of people between the receiving antenna and its associated transmitter. Ideally, this means that receiving antennas should be in the same room as the transmitters and elevated above the audience or other obstructions.
  2. Locate the receiver antenna so that it’s at a reasonable distance from the transmitter. A minimum distance of about 16 feet is recommended to avoid potential intermodulation products in the receiver. 
  3. Orient receiver antennas properly. Diversity receivers, which have two antennas, can benefit from having antennas angled 45 degrees apart.
