Hazard warnings on the rear of the product
The label shown on the left is attached to the rear of the product. The symbols on this label have the following meaning:
Presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute risk of electric shock.
Never open the product – there is a risk of electric shock. There are no user ser­viceable parts inside. Refer servicing to an authorized Sennheiser service partner.
Read and follow the safety and operating instructions contained in the instruc­tion manual.
Risk of fire due to overloading
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cables as this may result in fire and electric shock.
Danger of hearing damage due to high volumes
This product is used for commercial purposes. Commercial use is subject to the rules and regulations of the trade association responsible. Sennheiser, as the manufacturer, is therefore obliged to expressly point out possible health risks arising from use.
The product can produce 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.
Inform all operators about these facts and, if necessary, ask them to set the volume to a medium level.
Intended use
Intended use of the product includes
• using the product for professional purposes,
• having read and understood this instruction manal, especially the chapter “Important safety instructions”,
• using the product within the operating conditions and limitations described in this instruction manual.
“Improper use” means using the product other than as described in this instruc­tion manual, or under operating conditions which differ from those described herein.

Important information on battery operation

Replacing battery packs during operation
When two battery packs are installed in the LSP 500 PRO and you want to replace one of the two battery pack during operation, make sure to only remove the bat­tery pack that is not in use.
Before removing a battery pack during operation:
X Check the LSP 500 PRO‘s display panel to see which battery pack is currently
in use. For information on the battery charge status display, refer to page 16.
X Only remove the battery pack that is not in use.
Deep discharge protection
The battery packs have a deep discharge protection. When unused for extended periods of time, the battery packs automatically switch off to prevent deep discharge.
To reactivate a battery pack:
X Insert the battery pack into the LSP 500 PRO and charge the battery pack (see
page 11).
USING THE BATTERY PACK AS SIGNAL BUFFER
At high volume levels, the LSP 500 PRO uses the battery pack to buffer signal peaks. Therefore, if you want to drive a mains powered LSP 500 PRO at high volume levels, at least one battery pack should be installed in the LSP 500 PRO.

Using the media control protocol of
the ew G3 series
If you operate the LSP 500 PRO from your tablet using the required app (see page 23), the integrated media control protocol of the installed ew G3 devices sends device status information to the app. For this to happen, a device needs to be detected only once after its installation. For more infor­mation, refer to page 51.
CAUTION
Danger of electric shock!
X Before installing devices in the expansion slots, switch the LSP 500 PRO off
and disconnect it from the mains power supply.
Required accessories and tools
• 2 rack mount “ears” per device (supplied with the LSP 500 PRO)
• 2.5 mm Allen key
• Recessed head screwdriver (PH 2)
Opening the expansion slot
X Unscrew and remove the 7 Allen screws of the cover plate frame. X Remove the cover plate frame. X Unscrew and remove the screws at the rear of the cover plate frame. X Remove the cover plate of the slot you want to use.

Using the LSP 500 PRO
Connecting and installing a receiver / transmitter
X If necessary, remove the rubber feet from the receiver / transmitter. X Connect the cable of the corresponding expansion slot to the receiver /
transmitter. The cables of the expansion slots are labeled to ensure proper connection andd
installation. The network plugs (RJ 45) are universal and are not labeled.
If you install a stereo transmitter (e.g. Sennheiser SR 300 IEM G3), you have to set the transmitter to mono operation. For further information and for information on the connection sockets of the stereo transmitter, refer to the corresponding instruction manual.
X Connect the rod antennas of the receiver / transmitter and align them in
a V-shape.
X Make sure that the antennas are pointing away from each other and do not
cross to ensure optimum reception and full diversity performance.
X Carefully slide the receiver / transmitter into the expansion slot. X Take care that no cables are pinched when inserting the receiver / transmitter. X Screw the rack mount “ears” to the front of the LSP 500 PRO. X Replace the cover plate frame and tighten the 7 Allen screws.

Device Detection

Detecting devices in the expansion slots

The Sennheiser devices of the ew 300 G3 and ew 500 G3 series feature a media control protocol. The media control protocol sends, among other things, informa­tion on the battery and mute status of the associated transmitters and on the names of the individual devices to the app.
In order for the “LSP 500 PRO” tablet app (see page 23) to be able to display this status information, the devices have to be detected once they are installed in the LSP 500 PRO. Device detection has to be performed only once after instal­lation of a device.
To start the device detection process:
Device detection is only necessary if status information from the media control protocol is to be displayed in the app. The devices installed in the LSP 500 PRO also work properly if device detection is not performed.
X In the SETTINGS menu, turn the MENU jog dial until the DEVICE DETECTION
menu item is displayed.
X Press the MENU jog dial to open the DEVICE DETECTION menu item.
X Switch the installed ew devices on before starting the device detection process.
In order to avoid possible conflicts with the media control protocol, it is rec­ommended to set the IP assignment mode of the installed ew G3 devices to automatic. For more information, refer to the instruction manual of the ew G3 device.
X Press the MENU jog dial to start the device detection process.
