The freePORT systems

Designed for different areas of application, the freePORT systems are available in three variants.

yPresentation Set:

This system is ideal for presentation applications. The unobtrusive ME 2 clip-on microphone is virtually invisible.

yInstrument Set:

This system is for connecting musical instruments (e.g. guitar) which have a ¼” (6.3 mm) jack socket directly to the bodypack transmitter.

yVocal Set:

This system is ideal for vocal and speech applications.

Transmitters and receivers of the freePORT systems have four factorypreset frequencies for direct channel selection – ready for immediate use after switch-on.

The freePORT systems are available in three UHF frequency ranges:

yFrequency range A: 719 to 721 MHz

yFrequency range B: 691 to 693 MHz

yFrequency range C: 742.5 to 744.5 MHz

yFrequency range E: 863 to 865 MHz

Notes:

Use of A, B and C frequency ranges must be licensed. Most EU countries do not require licensing for use of frequency range E. Frequency range B (691 to 693 MHz) is intended for use solely in the USA and Canada.

Please be legal and observe the country-specific regulations of the licensing authorities. Sennheiser are not responsible if you operate illegally.

To avoid interfering with other users, the transmitter should be switched off when not in use.

Features of the freePORT systems:

yUp to four transmission links per frequency range which can be operated simultaneously

yReliable transmission technology

yDiversity technology for minimizing dropouts in the reception

yAdjustable squelch for eliminating RF interference

yRugged housings

yCrystal-clear reception due to dynamic processor
