Symbols on adhesive labels attached to the device

The adjoining adhesive label is attached to the devices back. The symbols on this label have the following meaning:

This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute risk of fire or electric shock.

This symbol is intended to alert the user to the risk of electric shock if the unit cover or back is removed. There are no serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.

This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance instructions in the literature accompanying this product.

Attention! High volume!

This is a professional transmission system. Commercial use is subject to the safety-at-work regulations. Sennheiser, as the manufacturer, is therefore obliged to expressly point out possible

health risks arising from use.

This system is capable of producing sound pressure exceeding 85 dB(A). 85 dB(A) is the sound pressure corresponding to the maximum permissible volume which is by law (in some countries) allowed to affect your hearing for the duration of a working day. It is used as a basis according to the specifications of industrial medicine. Higher volumes or longer durations can damage your hearing. At higher volumes, the duration must be shortened in order to prevent damage. The following are sure signs that you have been subjected to excessive noise for too long a time:

yYou can hear ringing or whistling sounds in your ears.

yYou have the impression (even for a short time only) that you can no longer hear high notes.

Intended use of the transmitter

Intended use includes

y having read these instructions especially the chapter “Safety instructions”.

yusing the transmitter within the operating conditions as described in these instructions.

Improper use

Improper use is when you use the transmitter other than described in these instructions or when you use the transmitter under operating conditions different from those described in these instructions.

SR 3254

SR 3256

SR 3254/SR 3256 transmitters

With the wireless in-ear monitoring system, consisting of the SR 3254 or SR 3256 stereo transmitter and the EK 3253 bodypack receiver, musicians, video and sound amateurs, reporters/broadcasters, etc. can directly monitor the received sound signals without troublesome cables or monitor speakers being required. In addition, the system can also be used for any application where talkback signals are to be transmitted.

The system has superb audio quality with an increased signal- to-noise ratio and dynamic range due to the inclusion of Sennheiser’s HDX noise reduction system.

The SR 3254 is a single stereo transmitter in a 19" 1 U housing.

The SR 3256 consists of two complete stereo transmitters in a 19" 1 U housing.

The stereo transmitters have the following features:

yEasy to use

yStereo/mono selector switch

ySwitching bandwidth of 36 MHZ per transmitter

yTransmission frequencies tunable in steps of 5 kHz

yHDX noise reduction system with more than 90 dB signal-to- noise ratio

yLC display for frequency, RF output power and deviation

yRugged 19" housing with built-in mains unit; supplied with rack-mounting kit

ySuitable for multi-channel applications

yRF output power of up to 100 mW

6

The channel bank system

The SR 3254/SR 3256 transmitter is available in five UHF frequency ranges:

Range A: 518 to 554 MHz

Range B: 626 to 662 MHz

Range C: 740 to 776 MHz

Range D: 786 to 822 MHz

Range E: 830 to 866 MHz

The transmitter has two channel banks with up to 16 switchable channels each. The channels of the channel bank “F“ (fixed bank) have been factory-preset to customer-specific transmission frequencies. These frequencies cannot be changed.

The channel bank “U” (user bank) allows you to freely select and store frequencies.
