• This system is able to induce an acoustic pressure exceeding 85 dB (L
Aeq,T
), this is the maximum sound
pressure level which your ear can be exposed to during a work day in almost all countries. According to
the safety at work medicine higher sound levels or longer exposition times could damage your ear. The
time of exposition by higher sound pressure levels should be shortened in order to prevent from ear
damages. A few reliable warning signals which show that you have exposed yourself for a too long period
to excessive sound pressure levels are: You hear bell or whistling sounds! You have the impression that
you can’t hear high tones anymore!
• The following table can help you to know which kind of sound, dB sound pressure level and time of
exposure are typically permissible by human ears:

INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing this EIKON product and for your trust in our brand, synonymous of professionalism,
accuracy, high quality and reliability. All our products are CE approved and designed for continuous use in
professional systems.
DESCRIPTION
The RM3000EK is a UHF PLL controlled Wireless In-ear Monitoring System providing a reliable and high
quality signal transmission.
RM3000EK features 2 units: RM3000EK transmitter and RM3000EKR body pack receiver. The system is
equipped as follow:
RM3000EK/A: RM3000EK + RM3000EKR/A + EB10 earphones + AC/DC adaptor + carrying case
RM3000EKR: RM3000EKR/A + EB10 earphones (optional second receiver)
EB10: optional spare earphones
8 channels frequencies (16 channels RM3000EKA model) are available, allowing the possibility to use the
apparatus with other wireless equipment.
RM3000EK TRANSMITTER
See FIG. 1 at page 15:
1. ANTENNA
This is the transmitting antenna. Use only the antenna supplied with the system, screw it in and raise it
up during the use. In order to obtain an optimal reception, place the transmitter away from other metal
and no more than 50 mt. away from the receiver.
2. 12-15V DC
Socket for the AC/DC adaptor connection: use only the adaptor supplied with the system.
3. RF POWER
This selector sets the radio frequency carrier output power. Three levels are available:
L as Low for an RF power < 10mW
M as Medium for an RF power < 50mW
H as High for an RF power < 100mW
NOTE: for all European countries only L setting can be used.
4. L INPUT (combo XLR-JACK input - BALANCED)
Left channel input: this is a female combo connector that accepts a XLR or a JACK plug from almost any
type of equipment with a balanced or unbalanced outputs. The XLR input is wired as follows:
Pin 1 = shield or ground
Pin 2 = + positive or "hot"
Pin 3 = - negative or "cold"
The JACK input is wired as follows:
Tip = + positive or "hot"
Ring = - negative or "cold"
Sleeve = shield or ground
When connecting an unbalanced signal, the connector must be wired as follows:
Pin2 / Tip = + positive or "hot"
Pin 1-3 / Sleeve = shield or ground
5. R INPUT (combo XLR-JACK input - BALANCED)
Same as above for the Right channel.
6. L OUTPUT (XLR output - BALANCED)
This connector provides a balanced line-level signal from the L INPUT. Connect this to the input of
another audio equipment or another RM3000 transmitter.
8
7. R OUTPUT (XLR output - BALANCED)
Same as above for the R INPUT.
8. POWER
ON/OFF switch: the LED shows the ON or OFF status of the transmitter.
9. PHONES
Auxiliary headphones output.
10. PHONES VOLUME
Volume potentiometer for the auxiliary headphones output.
11. MONO/STEREO
This switch combines the L & R inputs together and sends the resulting mono signal to both L & R
earphones channels. In case of a single channel input (L or R) this switch must be pressed in order to
send the same signal to both L & R earphones channels.
12. L INPUT METER
5 LED bar meter of L channel showing the input level. The last RED LED light up just above the nominal
input signal (+5 dBu): for getting the optimal RF transmission dynamic range, reduce the level of input
signal if the red LED lights.
13. R INPUT METER
Same as above for the R input channel.
NOTE: the bar LED shows the signal just before the RF transmitter channels, so after the MONO / STEREO
and the +10dB / 0dB switches.
14. +10 / 0 dB GAIN
When engaged this switch enhances the input signal of 10 dB: use it in case of low-level input signals.
15. CHANNEL SELECT
These switches are used for selecting the transmission channel: press and hold the UP or DOWN switch
until the display flashes, then press again the UP or DOWN switch to scroll the channels. After 6 seconds,
if no-one switch is pressed, the display lights steady and the transmission starts on the selected channel.
16. CHANNEL DISPLAY
The 2-digit display shows the selected channel.
RM3000EKR BODY PACK RECEIVER
17. ANTENNA
This is the receiving antenna. It is short and flexible for the maximum user comfort: do not force it.
18. EARPHONES VOLUME
This control sets the earphones output level. We suggest to set a comfortable but not excessive level, in
order to avoid to stress or damage your ears. Read the safety notes at the beginning of this manual.
19. TONE
Use the TONE switch to EQ the signal. Four choices are available:
1. BASS and HIGH enhanced.
2. HIGH enhanced.
3. BASS enhanced.
4. FLAT response.
20. BATTERY COVER
Sliding down the lower part of the bodypack you can access the battery compartment.
21. POWER INDICATOR
This orange LED lights when the receiver is turned on.
22. BATTERY LOW
This red LED lights when the batteries are exhausted: replace the batteries as soon as possible.
9
23. RF
This green LED shows when the radio frequency signal is received:
- The LED is ON if the RM3000 transmitter is switched on and set to the same channel as the receiver.
- The LED is OFF if the RM3000 transmitter is switched off or set to a different channel.
If the RM3000 transmitter is switched OFF and this LED is ON, there is probably another RF equipment
transmitting on the same RF channel: select a different channel frequency.
24. LCD DISPLAY
The LCD display shows various information:
The batteries are fully charged and you have 5-8 hours of working time using alkaline batteries.
The batteries are half charged and you have 2-5 hours of working time using alkaline batteries.
The batteries are almost discharged and you have 0-2 hours of working time using alkaline
batteries. Batteries replacement is suggested as soon as possible.
The RF signal is well received.
The RF signal is low: place the RM3000 transmitter closer to the receiver.
The earphones limiter is OFF.
The earphones limiter is ON. The earphones limiter avoids the signal peaks and reduces the
distortion for a more comfortable use of the earphones. Please note that the limiter doesn’t protect your
ears from high sound levels that could damage your ears.
The signal sent to the earphones is STEREO, with different signal for the left and the right
ear.
The signal sent to the earphones is MONO and it is the same for left and the right ears. The
mono signal is obtained combining L and R signals at the receiver (instead of using the MONO/STEREO
(11) switch, where L and R signals are combined at the transmitter inputs).
Channel number and its corresponding frequency: use the same channel as
in the RM3000TR transmitter. You can choose any of the 8 channels available
in the 863-865 MHz band.
25. DOWN
Press and hold this button to access the display function (LIM is flashing). When a function is flashing use
this button to de-activate the function (LIM or STEREO) or to choose the previous channel.
26. UP
Press and hold this button to access the display function (LIM is flashing). When a function is flashing use
it to activate the function (LIM or STEREO) or to choose the next channel.
27. ON/OFF
Press and hold this button to turn on and turn off the RM3000R receiver. When the LIM function is
flashing (see above), press it to choose the next function.
28. EARPHONE OUT
Connect the earphone to this mini-jack output. The earphone impedance must be 16 ohm or bigger.
29. LINE OUT
If you need to connect another audio equipment you can use this line output. This is a mini-jack output
terminated in this way: Shield – GND, Ring – RIGHT, Tip – LEFT. DO NOT connect an earphone to this
output.
30. This is the spring for wearing the bodypack: fix it to a belt, strap or dress in vertical position.
