UCR 190 loose XLR


Rich Reilly

Recommended Posts

Just purchased a quite used UCR190 that seems to work fine but XLR pin assembly is loose, partially exits when removing XLR...doesn't seem like it can come completely out...seems to perhaps have more play going inside housing. Cable connection seems good while XLR is locked into place...not intermittent or unstable. Is there a simple screw inside that holds XLR assembly in place? I would just assume fix it myself if possible..but seller says opening unit makes it harder to sell, and he wont honor return if I do that. Typical minimum bench rate of service center/shipping would somewhat negate the sense of the purchase. Any thoughts on board or PM much appreciated.

To tighten the XLR insert in the UCR190 the housing will need to be removed.

This will get you access to the set screw.

 

On the UCR211, 411 etc. see FAQ #091 from our website:

Be glad to send any information required to get you fixed up.

Best regards,

Thanks Dean,

For this insight and all the great service thru the years.  Its wonderful that many of these minor issues can be addressed by the user instead of sending off to repair.  Its also great that Lectro generously provides the information to safely facilitate the DIY repairs.

Been there, done that

Usually when we see loose XLR connectors on the UCR211, etc. the fault is a loose hex screw. The issue could also be the XLR insert itself. See the short photo tutorial on correcting this issue.

Best regards,

Note: Slight edit to the tutorial to show the XLR adjustment required to get the proper battery door tension.

BTW, a loose XLR insert or thimble should be corrected as soon as possible to prevent the XLR from being pulled out of the receiver. If the XLR is forcibly pulled from the receiver the wiring from the circuit board to the connector is likely to break...
