Tunable in 25 kHz increments and providing a sum total of up to 3,000 selectable frequencies, the UR1M additionally offers selectable 10mW or 50mW RF power, up to nine hours of battery life, audio level metering, and a backlit LCD display.

The system has been designed to provide a short-throw horizontal dispersion of 120 degrees, narrowing to 100 degrees as the throw increases. The vertical differential directivity (VDQ) creates progressively more HF output as throw distance increases. The resulting dispersion pattern is said to be suited to covering audiences located on flat, or gradually sloping, surfaces. Aimed at a wide range of applications, from live and theater sound to fixed installations, the W8VDQ is compatible with WMX, WS18X and WS218X subwoofers.
