• This product is also intended for professional use. 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 product 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 hearing damage. The following are sure signs that you have been subjected to excessive noise for too long a time:

– You can hear ringing or whistling sounds in your ears. – You have the impression (even for a short time only) that you can no

longer hear high notes.

• a transmission system is ready for immediate use after switch-on,

• several transmission systems can be operated simultaneously on the

preset frequencies without causing intermodulation interference.

The frequency bank system

The receiver is available in 6 UHF frequency ranges with up to 3,000 receiving frequencies per frequency range:

Each frequency range (Aw–Dw, Gw, GBw) offers 26 frequency banks with up to 32 channels each:

Each of the channels in the frequency banks “1” to “20” has been factory- preset to a fixed frequency (frequency preset). The factory-preset frequencies within one frequency bank are intermodulation-free. These frequencies cannot be changed.

For an overview of the frequency presets, please refer to the supplied frequency information sheet. Updated versions of the frequency information sheet can be downloaded from the EK 2000 IEM product page on our website at www.sennheiser.com.

The frequency banks “U1” to “U6” allow you to freely select and store frequencies. It might be that these receiving frequencies are not intermodulation-free (see page 20).
