LISTENING TO AUDIO AT EXCESSIVE VOLUMES CAN CAUSE PERMANENT HEARING DAMAGE. USE AS LOW A VOLUME AS POSSIBLE. Over exposure to excessive sound levels can damage your ears resulting in permanent noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). Please use the following guidelines established by the Occupational Safety Health Administration (OSHA) on maximum time exposure to sound pressure levels before hearing damage occurs.
90 dB SPL at 8 hours |
95 dB SPL at 4 hours |
100 dB SPL at 2 hours |
105 dB SPL at 1 hour |
110 dB SPL at ½ hour |
115 dB SPL at 15 minutes |
120 dB SPL Avoid or damage may occur |

Power-save mode: When there are no earphones plugged in for 5 minutes, the receiver enters power-save mode to preserve battery life. The LED slowly fades on/off in this mode and continues to display the color that represents the remaining battery life.
Note: Battery life using Energizer brand AA Alkaline batteries and the following conditions:
Note: Using lower-impedance earphones or ones with different sensitivity, different battery types, and higher gain settings in the PSM system may cause the receiver battery life to be different than specified.
Pink noise is a signal with a frequency spectrum such that the power spectral density is inversely proportional to the frequency. In pink noise, each octave carries an equal amount of noise power.

Access the following audio settings from the Audio menu.
STEREO

MIXMODE®
Set your receiver to combine the left and right channel for simultaneous listening in both ears or pan to listen to only the left or right channel
The parametric equalizer is divided into four frequency bands: LOW, LOW MID, HIGH MID, and HIGH. When the EQ is enabled, the following parameters are adjustable:
FREQUENCY
Select the center frequency of the band to boost/cut
Q
Adjusts the width and slope of the frequency band (measured in octaves)
GAIN
Adjustable in 2 dB increments from -6 dB (cut) to +6 dB (boost)
NOTE: HIGH and LOW are shelf filters, and therefore do not have adjustable Q widths. The HIGH shelf is fixed at 10 kHz; the LOW shelf is fixed at 100 Hz.
V LIM
Set a value (OFF to -48 dB, adjustable in 3 dB increments) to attenuate the highest possible volume level. Turning the volume knob through its entire range of motion still affects volume; the limit simply narrows the range of dB adjustment.
Note: The volume limit does not compress the audio signal.
ON
The volume is locked to the physical position of the volume knob
V LOCK remains on until the receiver is power cycled
Input EQ affects the signal after it is sent to the receiver, but before the headphone output, modifying the overall sound of the entire system.

When setting up multiple systems, designate a single bodypack to scan for available frequencies and download them to all the rack units.
The bodypack must be from the same frequency band as all the transmitters.
Note: Turn on all other wireless or digital devices as they would be during the performance or presentation (so the scan will detect and avoid any interferance they generate).
Important: Note the number of available channels. If you have more rack units than available channels, eliminate potential sources of interference and try again, or call Shure Applications for assistance.
CueMode allows you to upload the name and frequency settings from multiple rack units and store them as a list on a single bodypack. You can then, at any time, scroll through that list to hear the audio mix from each transmitter, just as each performer does during a show.
CueMode lists are retained even if CueMode is exited, the bodypack is turned off, or batteries are removed.
Note: Set the channel frequency and assign display names for each transmitter before creating your CueMode list.
Note: The transmitter must be from the same frequency band as the bodypack.
The LCD displays SYNC SUCCESS after frequency and name data are uploaded to the CueMode list. It also displays the CueMode number for that transmitter and the total number of transmitters.
Note: Syncing while in CueMode does not change any of the settings on the bodypack.
Exit CueMode by pressing enter and selecting EXIT CUEMODE.
While in Cue Mode, you can access the following menu by pressing enter:
REPLACE MIX
Select and press sync on a rack unit to upload new data for the current mix (for example, if you have changed the transmitter frequency).
DELETE MIX
Removes the selected mix.
DELETE ALL
Removes all mixes.
EXIT CUEMODE
Exits CueMode and returns the bodypack to the previous frequency setting.
Use a frequency scan to analyze the RF environment for interference and identify available frequencies.
Note: When performing a frequency scan:
You can transfer frequency settings in either direction: from the bodypack to the rack unit, or from the rack unit to the bodypack.
Note: You can also choose to transfer other settings to the bodypack during a sync, such as lock or mode settings, using the
menu on the rack transmitter.The level LEDs on the rack unit flash.
When properly aligned the IR window on the transmitter illuminates.
The blue LED on the bodypack flashes.
Some performers need to hear more of their own voice or instrument, while others want to hear more of the band. With MixMode, the performer creates their own mix using the balance control (▼▲ buttons) on the bodypack.
To use MixMode, send a solo mix of the performer to the L/CH1 input on the transmitter, and send a band mix to the R/CH2 input.
Set the performer's bodypack for MixMode. The bodypack combines the two signals and sends them to both earphones, while the balance control on the bodypack adjusts the relative levels for each.
For IFB applications, send two independent program feeds into the L/CH1 and R/CH2 input of the transmitter. With MixMode, the director or broadcast talent can listen to either feed using the balance control (▼▲ buttons) on the bodypack to pan to either audio signal.
Use LOOP OUT L (left) and R (right) outputs to send a copy of the audio signal going into the transmitter to other devices. Following are a few of the many applications for these outputs.
Note: The input level control and the input pad do not affect the LOOP OUT signals.
Configure each system for MixMode. From the mixing console, send a mix of the whole band to input 2 of the first transmitter. Connect the LOOP OUT R output to the R/CH2 input of the next transmitter. Continue the chain with all the transmitters.
Next, create solo mixes for each performer. Send each mix to input 1 of the transmitter for that performer.
Send the audio from the LOOP outputs to onstage loudspeakers. The bodypack and the onstage monitors receive the same audio signals.
Note: The LOOP audio outputs will not drive passive loudpeakers, and must be sent to a power amplifier or an active loudspeaker.
To record a performance, connect the LOOP outputs to the inputs of a recording device.
Squelch mutes audio output from the bodypack when the RF signal become noisy. While squelch is activated, the blue LED on the bodypack turns off.
For most installations, squelch does not need adjustment, and it keeps the performer from hearing hiss or noise bursts if the RF signal becomes compromised. However, in congested RF environments or in close proximity to sources of RF interference (such as large LED video panels), the squelch may need to be lowered to prevent excessive audio dropouts. With lower squelch settings, the performer may hear more noise or hiss, but will experience fewer audio dropouts.
Important: Before lowering squelch, first try to eliminate the problem by finding the best set of frequencies for your installation and removing potential sources of interference.
Caution: Turning off or lowering the squelch setting can increase the noise level and cause discomfort to the performer:
HIGH (NORMAL) | Default factory setting. | |
MID | Moderately decreases the signal-to-noise ratio required to squelch the receiver. | |
LOW | Greatly decreases the noise squelch threshold. | |
PILOT ONLY* | ![]() |
Turns off noise squelch leaving only pilot squelch on. |
NO SQUELCH* | ![]() |
Turns off noise and pilot tone squelch. (Sometimes used as a debugging tool by monitor engineers or RF coordinators to "listen" to the RF environment.) |
* Symbol appears in display window. |
Use PTP mode to allow a P9T to transmit to a UHF-R receiver. This allows a transmitter and receiver setup where both units are racked and powered by AC.
