Mic cables deliver a good signal, but can get in the way.
Amplification can help you reach your audience, but if you use many types of amplification at once you can get lost in a tangle of cables. If you find yourself with more cables than you have room for, or if you require more freedom of movement, you may want to consider using wireless transmitters. Nady produces a variety of wireless devices designed to deliver audio signals with a minimum of noise, such as the Nady UHF-7. You can get maximum performance out of the UHF-7 with the proper setup and adjustments.
Instructions
Setup
1. Determine a location for the Nady UHF-7. You may set the device up in a freestanding position or as part of an equipment rack. If you wish to use it in a rack, remove the two small side panels from the unit and slide the rack mounting brackets in their place. Screw the brackets into place on the rack with a screwdriver.
2. Connect the plug end of the unit's AC power cord into a power outlet and plug the opposite end of the cord into the power jack in the back of the unit.
3. Extend the antennae at the front of the UHF-7 for maximum reception.
4. Turn the squelch control knob on the rear of the unit clockwise until it stops. This setting works best for radio frequency (RF) noise control in most scenarios. If you use the unit in an area with high RF interference, the A and B diversity LED indicators on the front of the unit will light up. Slowly turn the squelch control knob until the LEDs extinguish to set the proper squelch control level.
5. Connect either an XLR cable or 1/4-inch audio cable into the jack at the rear of the unit. Connect the opposite end of the cable into the amplification system.
6. Press the power button at the rear of the UHF-7 to turn on the device.
Microphone
7. Unscrew the battery compartment cover of the UH-7 handheld microphone transmitter and insert a new 9-volt battery in the compartment. Ensure the "+" and "-" terminals on the battery match the terminals in the compartment.
8. Slide the "Off/Standby/On" switch on the microphone to "On" to send a signal from the microphone to the UHF-7. Keep the switch on "Standby" to preserve battery life and switch it to the "Off" position when not in use.
9. Speak or sing into the unit and adjust the input level control at the top of the battery compartment with a small screwdriver until you reach the desired level.
10. Screw the battery compartment cover back in place.
Other Mics and Instruments
11. Remove the battery cover of the body pack transmitter, insert a 9-volt battery and snap the cover back in place.
12. Set the two switches on the body pack to the correct setting for your type of microphone or instrument. For a head-worn mic, set both switches to "H." For a lavalier mic, set both switches to "L." For an instrument, set both switches to "G."
13. Insert the cable input from your chosen microphone or instrument into the locking jack on the body pack.
14. Clip the body pack onto your belt or clothing so that it will remain secure during use.
15. Adjust the input level control on the top panel of the UHF-7 with a small standard screwdriver until the AF level LED display lights extinguish. This will ensure the microphone or instrument signal does not become distorted.
