Safety instructions

y Please read these instructions carefully and completely

before using the receiver.

y Make these instructions easily accessible to all users at all

times. Always include these instructions when passing
the receiver on to third parties.

y Never open electronic units! If units are opened by

customers in breach of this instruction, the warranty
becomes null and void.

y Water entering the housing of the receiver can cause a

short-circuit and damage the electronics. Protect the
receiver from damp and wet. Only use a slightly damp
cloth to clean the receiver.

Intended use of the receiver

“Intended use” means that the receiver should be used
within the operating conditions and limitations described in
these instructions.

Improper use

“Improper use” means using the receiver other than as
described in these instructions, or under operating
conditions which differ from those described herein.

Delivery includes

Delivery of the EK 3241 receiver includes:

y 1 EK 3241 true diversity receiver

y 2 antennas

y 1 instructions for use

For accessories, please refer to page 23.

The EK 3241 true diversity receiver

The EK 3241 is a miniature true diversity receiver designed
for use with digital ENG camcorders. It can be inserted into
the slot-in facility of e.g. Ikegami, Panasonic, Sony or
Thomson camcorders without any additional connecting
cables being required. The GA 3041-C slot-in housing is
used for externally attaching the receiver to camcorders
without a slot-in facility. Together with a suitable
Sennheiser bodypack or hand-held transmitter, a highly
reliable radio link can be set up.

The EK 3241 receiver has the following features:

y Extremely compact and robust all-metal housing

y Special protection against the ingress of moisture and

therefore suitable for outdoor applications

y Mounting kits available for all current professional

camcorders

y Power supply via camcorder or GA 3041-B battery

adapter

y User-friendly, menu-assisted operation via LC display

y High operational reliability due to true diversity reception

y HiDyn plus™ noise reduction system

y Up to 32 preset receiving frequencies

y 36 MHz switching bandwidth

y Frequencies tunable in steps of 5 kHz

y Signal-to-noise ratio >110 dB

Adjustment tips for the operating menu

Adjusting the headphone volume – PHonE

If you operate the receiver with a modified version of the
GA 3041-C slot-in housing (see
headphone volume via the “PHonE” menu. The volume can
be adjusted between 0 and 126.

Caution! High volume!

Even short exposure to high volume levels can damage
your hearing! Adjust the volume for the connected
headphones to a medium level before putting the head­phones on.

Selecting a channel – CHAn

Via the “CHAn” menu, you can switch between the channels
in the channel banks “U“ (variable bank) and “F“ (fixed
bank).

the LC display panel for approx. 1 second and then the
currently assigned receiving frequency is displayed.
The receiver immediately switches to the selected
channel but does not permanently store it.

Note:

If you exit the setting mode via the “ESc” menu, the
receiver switches back to the previous channel.

16

Selecting the frequencies to be stored in the
channel bank “U” (variable bank) – tunE

Via the “tunE” menu, you can freely select the frequencies
to be stored in the channel bank “U” (variable bank).

 Via the “CHAn” menu, select the channel whose

frequency you want to change.

Note:

The frequencies stored in the channel bank “F” (fixed
bank) cannot be changed. When you have selected the
channel bank “F” and then select the “tunE” menu, the
receiver automatically switches to channel 01 of the
channel bank “U” and “U.01” briefly appears on the LC
display panel .

 To change the frequency of the selected channel, press

the



button or the button.
The frequencies are tunable in 5-kHz steps within a
switching bandwidth of 36 MHz max.

Adjusting the squelch threshold – SquELH

Via the “SquELH” menu, you can adjust the squelch
threshold. The squelch eliminates annoying noise during
transmission pauses or when the received RF signal gets
weaker.

Notes:

y If the squelch threshold is adjusted too high, the

transmission range will be reduced. Therefore, always
adjust the squelch threshold to the lowest possible
setting.

y When in the setting mode of the “SquELH” menu,

pressing the  button (DOWN) for more than three
seconds will switch the squelch off. “Sql.off” appears
on the display. If no RF signal is being received, hissing
noise will occur. This setting is for test purposes only.

Recommendations and tips

...for optimum reception

To avoid overmodulating the receiver, maintain the
recommended minimum distance of 5 m between trans­mitter and receiver.

...for multi-channel operation

When operating a multi-channel system, make sure to only
use intermodulation-free frequencies. For rapid calculation
of intermodulation-free frequencies, you can use the SIFM
(Sennheiser Intermodulation and Frequency Management)
software, which can be downloaded from the Internet at
www.sennheiser.com under “Wireless Systems”.

...for a long service life of the battery box or accupack

Remove the battery box or accupack from the slot-in
housing when the receiver will not be used for extended
periods of time. Store the battery box or accupack in a cool
and dry place.

21

Additional information

Diversity reception

The EK 3241 operates on the “true diversity” principle:

A receiving antenna receives not only the electromagnetic
waves which reach it by a direct path, but also the
reflections of these waves which are created in the room by
walls, windows, ceilings and fittings. When these waves are
superimposed, destructive interference occurs, which can
also be called “field strength gaps”. Repositioning the
receiving antenna can bring a solution, provided the
transmitter remains in its original position. With mobile
transmitters, however, the “field strength gap” will then
occur with a different transmitter position. These “field
strength gaps” can only be eliminated with true diversity
receivers.

In true diversity, instead of one antenna and one receiver
there are now two antennas and two receiver sections. The
antennas are spatially separated. By means of a
comparison circuit, the receiver section with the strongest
RF signal is always switched to the common AF output. The
risk of the occurrence of “field strength gaps” in both
antennas at the same time is virtually nonexistant.

Information on the compander system

This receiver is equipped with HiDyn plus™, the Sennheiser
noise reduction system that reduces RF interference.
HiDyn plus™ offers extreme operational reliability and
ensures highest transmission quality.

Operating the EK 3241 with headphones

In order to be able to connect headphones to the EK 3241
receiver, you require a modified version of the GA 3041-C
slot-in housing (see “Accessories” above). Please contact
your Sennheiser Service Partner.

Caution! High volume!

Even short exposure to high volume levels can damage
your hearing! Adjust the volume for the connected
headphones to a medium level before putting the head­phones on.

Manufacturer Declarations

Warranty regulations

The guarantee period for this Sennheiser product is 24 months from the date
of purchase. Excluded are accessory items, rechargeable or disposable
batteries that are delivered with the product; due to their characteristics these
products have a shorter service life that is principally dependent on the
individual frequency of use.

The guarantee period starts from the date of original purchase. For this reason,
we recommend that the sales receipt be retained as proof of purchase.
Without this proof (which is checked by the responsible Sennheiser service
partner) you will not be reimbursed for any repairs that are carried out.

Depending on our choice, guarantee service comprises, free of charge, the
removal of material and manufacturing defects through repair or replacement
of either individual parts or the entire device. Inappropriate usage (e.g.
operating faults, mechanical damages, incorrect operating voltage), wear and
tear, force majeure and defects which were known at the time of purchase are
excluded from guarantee claims. The guarantee is void if the product is
manipulated by non-authorised persons or repair stations.
In the case of a claim under the terms of this guarantee, send the device,
including accessories and sales receipt, to the responsible service partner. To
minimise the risk of transport damage, we recommend that the original
packaging is used. Your legal rights against the seller, resulting from the
contract of sale, are not affected by this guarantee.

The guarantee can be claimed in all countries outside the U.S. provided that no
national law limits our terms of guarantee.

relevant provisions of Directives 1999/5/EC, 89/336/EC or 73/23/EC. The
