1.4 Connecting and Positioning of remote Antennae
In multichannel systems we recommend the use of the GPA 700 groundplane antennae
in conjunction with the ZAF 500 N antenna connection panel and low attenuation antenna
cables such as AVK N(HF)-N(HF) (LA). For mounting the antenna use the AMK 700 mounting
device (on top 3/8" external thread for connection to GPA 700; on bottom 3/8" internal thread
for stand mounting). You can mount the antenna cable to the stand with the ZKV 700 clamp for
strain relief.
1. Connect the GPA 700 receiving antennae to the corresponding antenna inputs and place
the antennae to the right and left of the receiver. Diversity reception is improved when the
antennae are vertical or slightly tilted.
2. The distance between the two receiving antennae should be at least 1 m.
3. The distance between transmitting and receiving antennae should be at least 3 m to avoid
overloading and interference between different channels. We therefore recommend
installing the antennae in a high position, especially in multi-channel systems.

4. If the operating range of the transmitters is greater than the stage, the antennae can be
mounted vertically on the ceiling. The distance between the two GPA 700 receiving antennae
should be approximately half the total operating range.
Please note:
1. Install the antennae GPA 700 in the same area as the transmitter.
2. To avoid interference do not install the antennae near digitally controlled components.
3. Keep a minimum distance of 0.5 m from metallic objects, including reinforced concrete
walls or pillars.
4. Do not bend the antenna cables at the antenna input, and ensure that they are not
subjected to undue stress. For mounting the GPA 700 antenna use the AMK 700 mounting
device for strain relief of the antenna cable.
1.5 ZAS 500 Antenna Splitter
Up to four NE 500 receivers can be connected to the ZAS 500 active antenna splitter. Any
outputs which are not used should be terminated with a true resistance of 50 ! (refer to
accessories). Make sure that you do not accidentally terminate an input with a true resistance.
For powering the ZAS 500 antenna splitter connect the external power supply unit to the
antenna splitter and to AC power. Switch on the ZAS 500 (green LED on the front panel is
illuminated).
Up to two ZAV antenna amplifiers can be connected to each antenna input. For powering the
ZAV switch on the ZAS 500 antenna splitter and switch the DIP-switches on the rear into the
ON position. The supply voltage for the antenna amplifiers is switched to the antenna cable.
If there is a short circuit in the antenna cable the supply voltage is switched off automatically.
Furthermore, the supply voltage can also be switched off with the DIP-switches A and/or B.

We recommend to use antenna amplifiers when cables lengths of longer than 50 metres are
required. When using antenna amplifiers RG 213 type cable with the corresponding adapters
must be used because of its low attenuation of high frequencies.
The ZAS 500 antenna splitter can be cascaded. With two ZAS 500 you can operate 7 receivers,
with three ZAS 500 then 10 receivers. For operation of more than 10 channels please contact
beyerdynamic.

2. Setting up
1. Open the battery compartment (2) as indicated in the illustration and insert a 9 volt
alkaline battery or a suitable rechargeable battery.
2. Switch on the handheld transmitter (6). The LED power indicator (7) is illuminated.
3. To change the frequency, turn the channel selector control (5) with a suitable screwdriver
or trim tool until the control points to the desired frequency. For available frequencies
refer to the frequency table inside the battery compartment (2). Make sure that the
transmitter and receiver are on the same frequency.
4. When the battery capacity is too low for operation (below 6.5 V), the LED power indicator
(7) starts to flash. The residual time of operation is then approximately 30 minutes (when
a 9 V alkaline battery has been inserted). If the battery voltage drops below 6.0 V the LED
power indicator (7) goes out and the transmitter is switched off.
5. The sensitivity can be adjusted for close and distant miking.
Recommended adjustment:
Close miking vocals: 1 (most insensitive)
Close miking speech: 2
Distant miking: 3 (most sensitive)
The “CLIP”-indication must not illuminate on the display of the NE 500 receiver even with
the loudest signals. If this occurs a lower sensitivity should be selected.
2.3 Maintenance
Protect the transmitter from humidity, knocks and shock. Avoid dropping the
transmitter at all times.
For cleaning metal surfaces, use a soft cloth moistened with methylated spirits or alcohol.
If your microphone sounds dull, clean the integrated foam pop shield. To do this, follow these
instructions. Unscrew the microphone upper basket counter clockwise. Pull out the foam pop
shield and clean it under clear running water. If necessary, use a mild washing-up liquid. Dry it
afterwards with a hairdryer or allow it to dry overnight. Place the dry pop shield inside the
microphone basket and replace the microphone basket by screwing it on clockwise.

3.2 Setting up
1. Open the battery compartment (10) as indicated by the arrows and insert a 9 V alkaline
battery observing the polarity +/- marks.
2. Instead of alkaline batteries you can also use V 7/8 H type rechargeable batteries. The
SLG 44/500 charging unit can be used for charging this type of battery whilst still fitted in
the transmitter.
3. Plug a suitable microphone or instrument into the lemo socket (1). The attenuation switch
allows you to reduce the input sensitivity 26 dB for instruments and microphones when a
close miking technique is used.
4. Switch on the beltpack transmitter (5).
5. If you want to change the frequency, turn the frequency select control (6) with a suitable
screwdriver or trim tool until it points to the desired frequency. For available frequencies
refer to the frequency table (11). Make sure that the transmitter and receiver are selected
to the same frequency.
6. The operating control LED (4) is illuminated green, if the battery has been inserted
correctly and has full capacity.
7. As the battery voltage decreases below 6.5 V, the operating control LED capacity (4) will
flash. To avoid distortion replace or recharge the battery immediately. A 9 V alkaline
battery should be replaced within 15 minutes of the low battery indicator flashing. If the
battery voltage drops below 6.0 V the operating control LED (4) goes out and the
transmitter is switched off.
CAUTION!
• The TS 500 beltpack transmitter is equipped with two external charging contacts
providing an operating voltage of 9 V.
• The TS 500 beltpack transmitter should be applied so that it has no contact to the skin,
because due to sweat a current flow can occur and cause skin damages.
• If contact to the skin cannot be avoided then apply protection to the charging contacts
(for example tape).
• If you are allergic to metals the TS 500 must not have contact to the skin.
3.3 Recharging of Batteries
Put the transmitter TS 500 with the rechargeable battery installed into the SLG 44/500
recharging unit. Switch the transmitter off before and during the charging process! During the
charging process a green LED flashes on the charging unit. As soon as the battery is recharged,
the flashing changes into a permanent illumination. For detailed instructions refer to
“Operating Instructions SLG 44/500”.
42
Please note:
• Switch the TS 500 beltpack transmitter off before recharging or changing the battery.
(ON/OFF switch (5) in position OFF).
• Never put the TS 500 beltpack transmitter in the charging unit with a standard battery in
it. The battery could explode and destroy the beltpack transmitter.
• Different brands of 9 volt batteries may vary in length of up to 2 - 3 mm. When you
change the battery make sure there is a good contact and adjust the spring in the battery
compartment if necessary.
• Clean the battery contacts from time to time.
• If you do not use the TS 500 beltpack transmitter for several weeks or months, please
remove the battery as it can leak after some time and damage parts of the transmitter.
Even “leak proof” batteries are no warranty that they will not leak after some time. Failing
to comply will render the guarantee null and void.
• Please do not throw used battery packs away with your house-hold rubbish, but take them
to your local collection points.
3.4 Adjusting Input Gain
The input gain is adjusted automatically depending on the connected sound source
(dynamic microphone, instrument,
condenser microphone). Use the TPK 500 G cable for
instruments
or the TPK 500 M cable for dynamic microphones. The overload LED (3) indicates an
overload of the transmitter. This LED should only light up momentarily with loud passages. If
the overload LED (3) is flashing continuously, switch the sensitivity to “Low” (e.g. with
neckworn or headworn microphones).
4. General Instructions for all Transmitters
4.1 Battery Change
• Switch the transmitter off before changing the battery.
• If you do not use the transmitter for several weeks or months, please remove the battery
as it can leak after some time and damage parts of the transmitter. Even “leak proof”
batteries are no warranty that they will not leak after some time. Failing to comply will
render the guarantee null and void.
• Different brands of 9 volt batteries may vary in length of up to 2 - 3 mm. When you
change the battery make sure there is a good contact and adjust the spring in the battery
compartment if necessary.
• Clean the battery contacts from time to time.
• Please do not throw used battery packs away with your household rubbish, but take them
to your local collection points.
• When using rechargeable batteries use conventional chargers.
43
4.2 Before the Soundcheck
1. Check the transmitter battery and replace or recharge it if necessary. Use fresh alkaline
batteries only.
2. Adjust the level of the receiver to the amplifier or mixing console.
3. Check the performance area for dropouts. If you find any dropouts, try to eliminate them
by repositioning the antennae or the receiver.
4. The receiving antennas should be placed so that the distance between receiving antennae
and transmitter is at least 3 m. If necessary, use remote antennae (GPA 700).
5. To avoid popping try holding the microphone at a slight angle below the mouth.
4.3 Positioning of Transmitters if Interference occurs
Put all transmitters in their position and switch them on. Switch each transmitter off
one at a time and check the receiver for interference in the corresponding channel. In case of
interference, move the transmitter one at a time to find out which one is causing the
interfe
rence. Exchange the transmitters among themselves or change the carrier frequency
until the system is operating without any interference. The interference is possibly eliminated
by changing the squelch.
4.4 What to Do against Feedback
Feedback is caused by your microphone getting too close to a loudspeaker.
We recommend:
• Reduce the volume of the sound system.
• Move away from the loudspeaker.
• Turn the microphone away from the loudspeaker.
•
Power supply is interrupted, power supply
unit is not connected to the mains and / or
to the NE 500 receiver
• Connect the power supply unit to
the mains and / or to the NE 500
