3. OVERVIEW
Dedicated to all those who need maximum portability and are always “on the road”,
the POCKETLIVE U16HBT is a 35W battery-powered PA system with 16-channel UHF
wireless microphone system, MP3 player with Bluetooth™, line and microphone inputs,
and more. Its weight of about 3kg (batteries included), the strap and the carrying bag
make it suitable for almost any situation where you need to play loud but there isn’t
even any electrical outlet: in classroom, in sport contexts, ceremonies, tourism and
more.
Internal battery lasts more than ve hours (continuous use at maximum volume). The
UHF 16-channel wireless microphone operates in ISM band (863-865MHz), can be
used even in high interference environments and does not require any special authori-
zation in the European Community. You can alternatively use a very comfortable head-
set microphone with pocket transmitter by using the POCKETLIVE U16P-KIT (ask your
dealer or visit our website for more information). The MP3 player with Bluetooth™, the
SD-Card and USB lets you play your play lists and can also be operated via a handy
remote control.
The bag, which features a shoulder strap and a large side pocket, has an opening with
zipper and net on speaker side, and allows the use of POCKETLIVE U16 also inside
the bag. Finally, under the amplier is a bore hole, via the supplied adapter, allows the
placement of standard microphone stand.

8. 16-CHANNEL UHF WIRELESS SYSTEM
POCKETLIVE U16 is equipped with 16-channel UHF wireless microphone system
with IR frequency synchronization between receiver and transmitter and a system for
monitoring the battery charge level on the microphone. By default, the POCKETLIVE
U16HBT comes with a handheld microphone featuring a professional cardioid dynamic
capsule.
Also available is the optional POCKETLIVE U16P-KIT, which consists of a headset
microphone with professional cardioid dynamic capsule and a 16-channel UHF pocket
transmitter with IR system.
The system operates within the ISM Europe band (863-865MHz) and does not require
any license to be used in all EU countries. Below is a list of available frequencies:
Frequency List
Channel Frequency Channel Frequency
CH01 863.00 MHz CH09 864.40 MHz

45. GRILL:
It protects the microphone capsule. Do not remove this cap to prevent damage to
internal components.
46. ON/OFF SWITCH:
It has 2 positions: when it’s all down, the transmitter is off; when it’s all up, the transmit-
ter is working and the audio is active.
NOTE: Normally, professional wireless microphones have a stand-by inter-
mediate position, which enables the operation of the transmitter without
audio. This avoids interference due to the absence of the transmitter signal.
In the case of POCKETLIVE U16, it is not necessary because the system is
equipped with digital tracking circuit that inhibits the audio in the absence
of the radio signal.
