ULTRALINK UL2000M COLOR CODE Each BEHRINGER ULTRALINK transmitter can be color-coded using a color ring; this way you can easily differentiate between multiple transmitters (set to different frequencies). To easily match a transmitter to a receiver, you can also attach color-coded strips to each receiver. ANTENNA Two bar antennae can be connected to the ANTENNA 1 and ANTENNA 2 connectors. 2.1.2 Display Fig. 2.2: Closeup of the ULR2000 display (antenna symbol) These two antenna symbols indicate w

ULTRALINK UL2000M MUTE MUTE indicates that the ULR2000’s output is being muted. If the received and demodulated AF starts getting weaker, the noise increases; the signal-to-noise ratio gets smaller. The SQUELCH menu item lets you enter a threshold value (in dB) for the signal-to-noise ratio. If this ratio gets smaller than the threshold value, the receiver automatically mutes the signal (ch. 2.2.3). 2.1.3 The back Fig. 2.3: ULR2000’s back The power is supplied via a 12 V connector.

ULTRALINK UL2000M 2.2.4 AUTO MUTE If the transmitter is turned on, off, or is switched to another channel without first muting the receiver, or if the transmission drops out due to weak batteries, audible noise will result. Even if the noise limiter is enabled on the receiver (ch. 2.2.3), it still requires some time to react, and such noise can not be suppressed safely. To bridge this latency time, the ULR2000 offers a practical Auto Mute function: When the ULM2000 is being turned off, when you
