Lectro UH200D Question for Larry

Larry,

If you're lurking around these parts this weekend I have some questions
for you:

I'm aware that one of the differences between the UM200B and the UM200C
is the point at which the Red (limit) LED fires. On the older unit I
understand it's about 10dB below limiting and on the newer one it's
right at the limiting point. At least that's how I remember it.

My first question is, "What is the firing point of the red limit LED on
a UH200D?"

I might need to use the UH200D as the second channel for a camera hop on
Monday and would like to have a better feel how I should set it up
relative to a UM200C. I realize that the UH200D has a fixed hi-pass
filter at about 70Hz which I understand is equivalent to the middle
position on the variable hi-pass on the UM200C, but, I'd like to get the
gain structure on the UH200D as close to how I have the UM200C set as I can.

With a "stick mic" I've just always set it so that the LED seldom fires
-- pretty much how I set a bodypack.

I have five receivers, four bodypacks, and a plugon, and I was initially
planning to use the plugon in place of a third bodypack by using a lav
adapter (that would free up two bodypacks for the camera hop) but I
learned today that I'll be micing some very young kids and I think, in
that case, the plugon will be way too bulky.

I'm attentuating the signal (from my SD302) going to the plugon by
around 35dB -- that seems to be about the right amount (the gain knob is
just above the third notch, counting the fully attenuated position as
"1") am I likely to overload at that setting? My plugon had the
balanced update done which, if I'm not mistaken, lowers the input gain a
bit.

Thank you for any, and all, info.

john the 302 has full scale ton ( wile you are in the menu mod , switch the
tone on ) , you can calibrate the uh input to the point you will hear the
limiting happens , if I remember correctly the uh 200d red light working
as the 200 b and comes 10 db before it actually happens
so with normal work when you hit the +10 dbu you certainly will be on the
safe side , open your limiters for +14/16 and you will never reach the tx
limiting
