CARVIN UX1000BP User manual

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the condition that this
device does not cause harmful interference. This device complies with INDUSTRY
CANADA R.S.S. 210, en conformite´ avec IC: RSS-210/CNR210.
CAUTION! Electrical shock can result from removal of the receiver cover. Refer servicing to qualified
service personnel. No user-serviceable parts inside. Do not expose to rain or moisture. The circuits
inside the receiver and transmitter have been precisely adjusted for optimum performance and compli-
ance with federal regulations. Do not attempt to open the receiver or transmitter. To do so will void the
warranty, and may cause improper operation.
REGULATIONS AND SERVICING
1. Use only fresh alkaline batteries. Replace batteries with every 25 hours of use.
2. Position the receiver so that it has the fewest possible obstruction between it
and the normal location of the transmitter. Line-of-sight is best.
3. The transmitter and receiver should be as close together as conveniently possible.
4. The receiver antenna should be in the open and away from any metal or cement walls. If in
a rack, have the unit on top or angle antennas outward away from the metal rack.
5. Turn the transmitter off when not in use. Remove the battery if the transmitter is
not used for a period of time.

RF Interference
If you encounter receiving interference (from other than an operating TV station), often it can be
eliminated by adjusting the receiver’s antenna.
Please note that wireless frequencies are shared with other audio services. According to Federal
Communications Commission regulations, “Wireless microphone operations are unprotected from
interference from other licensed operations within the band. If any interference is received by any
Government operation, the wireless microphone must cease operation…”

UX1000-MC, UX100BP WIRELESS SYSTEMS
Congratulations on your purchase of the UX1000 SERIES Professional Wireless
System.
These systems include a receiver along with a handheld mic with
transmitter (UMC1000) or a belt-pack transmitter (UBP1000) depending on the
model purchased.The headworn mic (UX-HM2), cable for instrument (UXGT) and
lavaliere mic (UX-LP1) are all available as additional options to the UBP1000
belt-pack system.
The receiver features true UHF diversity reception. Two antennas feed two
completely independent RF receivers on the same frequency. Automatic logic
circuitry continuously compares and selects the superior signal to provide better
sound quality and reduce the possibility of interference and dropouts. Both the
transmitter and receiver have 960 user selectable channels, which can be grouped
into four groups. The receiver can be mounted in a standard 19" rack (1U) with
use of the optional UX-DR adapter.
The versatile UBP1000 belt-pack transmitter is designed for use with
condenser microphones as well as Hi-Z instrument pickups. Please note that in
multiple-system applications there must be one transmitter per receiver.
GETTING STARTED QUICKLY
If you’re like most new owners, you’re probably in a hurry to plug your wireless
system in and use it. Here are some brief instructions to get you going quickly.
With the wireless system unplugged and the unit turned off, complete the
following procedures:
1. CHANNEL CHECK Check that both the transmitter and receiver are set
to corresponding channel. If multiple systems are used, each system must be
set to their own channel.
2. OUTPUT CONNECTIONS There are two audio outputs on the back
of the receiver: balanced XLR and unbalanced 1/4”. Connect the appropriate
cables for your system.
3. POWER CONNECTIONS Connect the included AC adapter to the DC
power input on the back of the receiver. Plug the adapter into a standard 120
volt 60 Hz AC power outlet.
4. RECEIVER POWER ON Turn down the Volume control of the receiver as
well as the mixer. Switch on the receiver only. Do not switch on the transmitter.
The power indicator will light up even though the transmitter is not on.
5. BELT PACK SETTINGS Connect the instrument cable or mic
to the Belt-pack. Set the rear gain switch to -20 for mic or 0 for instrument use.
Set the fine gain control to 12 o’clock. Reduce if distortion occurs.

6. BATTERY Insert fresh AA alkaline batteries into the transmitter.
7. TRANSMITTER POWER ON Switch the transmitter mic to
the “on” position.
8. SOUND CHECK To do a sound check, gradually raise the level while
watching the AF level indicator. Increase the level until the AF level indicator
peaks. This indicates that maximum level without distortion has been reached.
On the belt pack adjust the AF level of the transmitter using the included
screwdriver.
