1. INTRODUCTION
Thank you very much for expressing your confidence in us by purchasing the ULTRALINK ULM2000. This
Transmitter, coupled to the receiver ULR2000 from BEHRINGER, comprises a modern, high-performance
wirelesstransmission system.
Thanks to its amazing set of features, you can use the ULM2000 in all situations in which the highest sound
quality and mobility are a must, e.g. live concerts, events and video productions.
Depending on your local wireless transmission regulations, you can use up to 20 systems simultaneously.
The IRC compander system guarantees an extremely wide transmission dynamic range.
Themicrophonefeaturesahigh-qualityPanasonic®capsule with a cardioid polar pattern. Therefore,itprimarily
picks up the sound from the front and less so from the sides. The signal entering the microphone from the
back is mostly suppressed. This way, the microphone’s propensity to creating feedback is very negligible,
even in live situations.
TheULTRALINKSeriesequipmentfeatures3factory presets,eachwith8permanent,interference-freechannels.
Thisallows you touse several systemsin parallel withoutthem influencing oneanother. Additionally, youhave
the option of storing 8 of your own frequencies in a user preset, thus individually addressing your own needs.

ULTRALINK ULM2000
Determining which microphone is assigned to which receiver is done either by observing the transmission
channel in the display or by comparing the transmission frequency. In addition, the ULTRALINK equipment
from BEHRINGER leaves you the option to color-code your gear for easy identification.
Beyond that, both units feature other useful functions, such as Scan and Auto Mute. This way, no
wishes are left open during practice or in live situations.
The following instructions are intended to familiarize you with the unit’s controls, so that
you can learn all of its functions.After having thoroughly read these instructions, store them
in a safe place for future reference.
1.1 Before you get started
1.1.1 Shipment
The ULM2000 was carefully packed at the factory to assure secure transportation. Should the condition of
thecardboard box suggestthat damage mayhavetaken place, pleaseinspect the unitimmediately and look
for physical indications of damage.
Damaged units should NEVER be sent directly to us. Please inform the dealer from whom
you acquired the unit immediately as well as the transportation company from which you
tookdelivery of the unit. Otherwise, all claimsfor replacement/repair may be rendered invalid.
Always use the original packaging to avoid damage due to storage or shipment.
Never leave children unsupervised with the unit or its packaging.
Please dispose of all packaging materials in an environmentally friendly manner.
1.1.2 Registration
Beforepowering up the unitfor the firsttime,you have to register itwith your local postal/telecommunication
authority! Additional information is available there.
1.1.3 Initial operation of the microphone
The ULM2000microphone requires one ortwo9V batteries. Of course, using only one 9V battery decreases
the effective uptime.When using only one battery, it does not matter which of the two battery compartments
you use. Either one will work.
When running the unit on two batteries, please make sure that both batteries are equally
fresh. Therefore, whenever changing batteries, always use two brand-new batteries.
When the battery is nearly depleted, the LED located on the bottom of the microphone will start to blink
rapidly.Simultaneously, aspecial inaudible signalis sent to theULR2000 receiver, and“LowBat” is shownin
itsdisplay.Toassuredependableoperationofthetransmitter-receiversystem,changethetransmitterbatteries
as soon as possible after seeing the “LowBat”message.
To change the transmitter (mic) batteries:
1. Twist the upper part of the microphone grip while firmly holding its lower portion.
2. Pull the battery compartment out of the microphone until you reach its stop position.
3. Remove the old batteries. Insert one or two fresh 9V batteries.
4. Slide the upper part of the microphone over its lower portion and firmly screw it on.
1.1.4 Online registration

2. CONTROL ELEMENTS
In this chapter, different control elements of your ULM2000 will be described, explained in detail, and
you will get useful information on how to use them.
Fig. 2.1: ULM2000’s underside
POWER
To power the hand-held transmitter on or off, keep the POWER button pressed for at least 2 seconds.
BrieflypressingthePOWERbuttonconfirmsyourchoiceswhenenteringvalues(referstolaterchapters).
Additionally, you can check the current transmitter settings (selected channel and battery condition).
STATUSLED
Throughrepeated blinking, thestatus LED givesthe account ofthe current settingsfor all parameters.
We differentiate between 3 different blinking tempos:
VThe LED blinks slowly when you, for example, successfully leave the programming mode.
VTo give the account of the channel number or individual frequency values, the LED blinks with
medium tempo.
VRapid blinking indicates an error, for example an empty battery or a faulty entry.
MUTE switch
Engaging the MUTE switch mutes the microphone. Additionally, the ULM2000 can be switched to
programming mode by selecting the digits 9 or 0; or, you can get a readout of a specific unit setting.
SELECTION SWITCH
Using a screwdriver, you can select different values on the SELECTION SWITCH. For example, you
can select a channel number and the frequency.
TheSERIAL NUMBER islocated onthetransmitter battery compartment.Toget to theserialnumber, please
open the battery compartment (see ch. 1.1.3).

3.2 Channel setting
You can comfortably select a channel within a preset by using the selection switch . In doing so, it is
irrelevant whether the microphone is on or off.
Changing the channel when the transmitter is already powered on
During this procedure, the transmitter may not be set to mute!
1. Turntheselection switchto one of the positions1 - 8, corresponding to the desiredchannel number. If
a valid value is selected (i.e. neither 9 nor 0), the LED blinks quickly once as a confirmation.
2. BrieflypressthePOWER button. The LEDblinkswith medium tempo.Thenumber of individual flashes
within one cycle corresponds to the value/channel number selected on the selection switch.
If an invalid channel number is selected (0 or 9), the channel selected last remains selected.
Changing the channel when the transmitter is powered off
1. Turn the selection switch to one of the values (1 - 8), corresponding to the desired channel number.
2. If you turn on the transmitter, the channel you selected is automatically loaded.
If an invalid channel number was selected (0 or 9), the channel selected last remains selected.
3.3 Setting your own frequency
A carrier frequency in the range between 798.1 and 805.9 MHz can be freely selected. This frequency is
stored in a self-assignable user preset (Preset 1).
The carrier frequency can only be set in 25-kHz steps. The frequency you select has to be a
multiple of 25 kHz. If you select a frequency that is not a multiple of 25 kHz or does not lie in
the frequency range between 798.1 and 805.9 MHz, the ULM2000 gives off an error message
(the LED blinks quickly 5 times).
1. Engage MUTE. The transmitter can now be switched to the programming mode.
2. Turn the selection switch to 9 and confirm your selection by keeping the POWER button pressed for
about 2 seconds. The LED indicates confirmation by blinking once with medium tempo and blinking
onceslowly.Thetransmitterisnowinthe programming mode and awaits the entry ofa6-digitfrequency.
3. Enter all 6 digits one after another in the following fashion:
VSelect the desired value on the selection switch, for example 4. If a valid value is selected, the
LED blinks quickly once as a confirmation. This way, you can be sure that a correct value is
entered(in regard tothe frequency rangeand divisibility by25 kHz) evenbefore confirming your
selection.
VConfirm your selection by briefly pressing the POWER button.
VIftheend frequency value youenteredisvalid, the LED blinksquicklyoncemore. If the frequency
value is invalid, the LED blinks quickly 5 times, and the unit is no longer in the programming
mode. In this case, start anew with step 2.
Aftera brief interruption,a second blink codeis given: theLED blinks correspondingto the value
selected (in this case, 4 times) with medium tempo.
The value 0 is indicated by a very short blink of the LED, and you will easily tell a
0 from a 1.
If no entry is made for more than 5 seconds (either on the selection switch or by pressing the
POWER button), the LED blinks quickly 5 times, and the programming mode is aborted.
After entering the 6 digits for the frequency value, enter another value to indicate the channel number under
which the frequency will be stored.
4. Select a desired channel number on the selection switch, for example channel 2 (possible values: 1 -
8). If a valid value is selected, the LED blinks quickly once to confirm. This way, you can be sure that a
correct channel number is being entered even before confirming your selection.

5. Confirm your selection by briefly pressing the POWER button.
6. When a valid value is selected, the LED blinks briefly again. When an invalid value is selected, the
LEDblinks quickly5 times andthe unitis no longerin theprogramming mode. In thiscase, starta new
with step 2.
After a brief interruption, a second blink code is given: the LED blinks corresponding to the value
selected (in this case, 2 times) with medium tempo.
7. After a second blink pause, an additional blink code is given as a confirmation:
VA successfully stored frequency is signaled with 2 slow blinks. The transmitter leaves the
programmingmode.
VIftheLEDblinks quickly 5 times,thefrequencywasnot stored. Inthiscase,start anew with step 2.
If no entry is made for more than 5 seconds (either on the selection switch or by pressing the
POWER button), the LED blinks quickly 5 times, and the programming mode is aborted.
8. Disengage the MUTE switch.
A user-assigned frequency is automatically stored in the user preset (Preset 1)!
3.4 Preset
The ULM2000 lets you work with 4 presets, each with 8channels.
Factory presets (Presets 2, 3 and 4)
In the ULM2000, there are 3 factory presets (each with 8 interference-free channels). That means that all 8
channels of one preset can run simultaneously with 8 different transmitters and receivers without causing
interference to one another.
The channels in the 3 factory presets are all assigned to different frequencies. This way, you can always
select a frequency range that assures the best signal transmission.
The following table shows which frequencies are stored in the factory presets.
CHANNEL PRESET 2 PRESET 3 PRESET 4
1798,700 MHz 798,400 MHz 798,100 MHz
2799,950 MHz 798,950 MHz 798,650 MHz
3800,650 MHz 799,800 MHz 799,500 MHz

ULTRALINK ULM2000
3.6 Auto Mute
If the transmitter is turned on, off or switched to another channel without first muting the receiver, or if
the transmission fails due to weak batteries, audible noise will result. Even if the squelch circuit is
turned on at the receiver end, it still requires some time to react, and such noise can not be suppressed
safely.
To bridge this latency time, the ULM2000 offers a practical Auto Mute function:
VWhentheULM2000isbeingturnedoff,whenyouareswitchingchannelsorduringlow-batteryindication,
an inaudible send signal is being transmitted.
VThereceiverULR2000 recognizes this signalandautomatically mutes the outputbeforethe transmitter
is actually turned off, switched to another channel or before it powers down on its own due to battery
charge being too low.
For the Auto Mute function to work, it has to be activated on both the transmitter and the
receiver!
Activating/deactivating theAuto Mute function
1. Engage MUTE. The transmitter can now be switched into the programming mode.
2. Turn the selection switch to 0 and confirm your selection by keeping the POWER switch pressed for 2
seconds.As aconfirmation, the LED blinks slowly once andthen onceagain with medium tempo. The
transmitter is now in the programming mode and waits for you to enter a one-digit number.
3. Select one of the following two digits on the selection switch:
VActivate Auto Mute: select 7
VDeactivate Auto Mute: select 8
Ifa valid selectionismade, the LEDblinks quickly once toconfirm your selection.Thisway,you can be
surethat a correctvalue is entered(in regard topreset, MicGain and AutoMute selection) evenbefore
confirming your selection.
Selectingthevalues1through4 changes the preset settings (ch. 3.4). Selecting 5 or 6 changes
the Mic Gain settings (ch. 3.5). Values 9 and 0 are invalid.
4. Confirm your selection by briefly pressing the POWER button.
5. If the selection you made is valid, the LED blinks quickly once again. An invalid selection is indicated
with 5 quick blinks, and the unit is immediately no longer in the programming mode. In this case, start
anew with step 2.
After a brief break, a second blink code is given:
VAuto Mute activated: the LED blinks once at middle tempo.
VAuto Mute engaged: the LED blinks twice at middle tempo.
If no entry is made for more than 5 seconds (either on the selection switch or by pressing the
POWER button), the LED blinks quickly 5 times, and the programming mode is aborted.
6. After a second brief blink break, an additional blink code is given as a confirmation:
VTwo slow blinks signal that the Auto Mute setting was changed. The transmitter leaves the
programmingmode.
VIf the setting for Auto Mute could not be stored, the LED blinks quickly 5 times. In this case, start
anew with step 2.
7. DisengageMUTE.
3.7 Turning the microphone off
To turn of the transmitter, keep the POWER button pressed for 2 seconds. A long blink confirms that
microphone is being turned off.

ULTRALINK ULM2000
5. ULM2000 LEVEL SETTING
To optimally set the level on your ULM2000, the High Gain or Low Gain setting has to be set
to the level of the signal being transmitted (ch. 3.5).
Adjustthe gaincontrol inthe microphone channel of your mixing console so thatthe peakLED lights up only
occasionally or never at all. The EQ controls in the microphone channel should be set to mid-travel position
to start with. To get the sound you want, try changing the mic position relative to the sound source or even
movethemicrophone around intherecording room ofyourstudio. Adjusting the angleatwhich walls facethe
soundsource can also be helpful.Only when the desired basicsound has been achieved shouldyou start to
use equalizers and signal processors, if any at all (remember: less is often more!)
6. APPLICATION EXAMPLE
Fig. 6.1 shows how easy it is to use the ULM2000. Simply connect the receiver ULR2000 to your mixing
console.

7. INSTALLATION
7.1 Installation information
VAlways make sure that the devices are not operated in direct proximity of large metallic surfaces
(radiators, metal racks, reinforced concrete walls and similar).
VThe devices should always be at a height of at least 1 m (3 ft.) off the ground.
VTo assure interference-free reception, ideally there should be no large objects placed between the
transmitter and the receiver. Not only the size but also the type of material play a role in determining
how strong signal interference will be!
