FREQUENCY SELECTION GUIDE
The Shure UC Wireless System is designed for maximum flexibility and versatility
in a variety of applications. Up to 16 Shure UHF Wireless Systems can be operated
simultaneously in a single installation using the frequency compatibility groups.
Please contact Shure Brothers Incorporated if you need additional information or as-
sistance in frequency selection and setup.
Compatibility Groups
The Shure UC Wireless System includes 10 groups of compatible channels. If you are
using more than one receiver in the same area, we recommend that you set the receivers
to different frequencies within the same group.
