FREQUENCY SELECTION GUIDE
The Shure UHF 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 Incorporated if you need additional
information or assistance in frequency selection and setup.
Compatibility Groups
Group 1 contains 10 compatible frequencies which are derived from a combination
of fixed site (Multi UHF High and Low) frequencies, as well as Indoor Use at Fixed Site
frequencies.
Group 2 contains 14 fixed site frequencies taken entirely from the Multi UHF High
and Low Band (these frequencies are not compatible).
Groups 3 and 4 contain 10 compatible channels within the 854–862 MHz band.
Groups 5 and 6 contain 16 compatible channels within the 846–862 MHz band.
Groups 7, 8 and 9 contain 16 compatible channels within the 838–862 MHz band.
Group 10 contains 16 compatible frequencies within the 838–862 MHz band.
Compatible Frequency List
The following table lists the frequencies in each of the ten compatibility groups.
