Adjusting the audio channels

Via the “Mode” menu item, you can adjust the audio channels.

왘 Select “Stereo” if you want to transmit two separate audio signals on channel I and

channel II (e.g. channel I = audio signal of the presenter/musician, channel II = sum of all audio signals). This allows the presenter/musician to adjust the balance between the left and right stereo signal on his receiver.

왘 Select “Mono” if you only want to transmit an audio signal on one channel. In this case,

the signal from the left audio input

Monitoring the audio signal via headphones

You can monitor the audio signal via the headphone output .

CAUTION! Danger of hearing damage!

Listening at high volume levels for long periods can lead to permanent hearing defects.

왘 Set the headphone volume control  to the minimum position before putting the head-

phones on.

왘 Set the headphone volume control  to the minimum position. 왘 Connect headphones with a ¼” (6.3 mm) stereo jack plug to the headphone output . 왘 Gradually increase the volume and monitor the audio signal with the lowest possible

volume.

Synchronizing transmitters and EK 2000 IEM receivers via the infra-red interface

Synchronization allows you to quickly and easily transfer transmitter and receiver settings from one device to the other, especially if you want to configure a multi-channel system. There are two transfer directions:

1. Easy Setup Sync: Transfer from the receiver to one or several transmitters Once you have performed a frequency preset scan with your receiver, you can use the

Easy Setup Sync function to transfer unused frequency presets from the receiver to the

transmitters via the infra-red interface. In order to configure a multi-channel system, you use the diversity receiver to transfer the first unused channel from the selected frequency bank to the first transmitter and the next unused channel to the second transmitter and so on, thus ensuring that all transmitters of a multi-channel system operate on suitable frequencies.

2. Sync: Transfer from a transmitter to a receiver Once you have selected and set the desired receiver settings on the transmitter (either

manually or using the Easy Setup Sync function), you transfer these settings to a receiver. This configures the receiver and establishes a transmission link between transmitter and receiver.

Via the “Sync Settings” submenu, you can adjust the receiver parameters listed below and activate or deactivate their transfer to an EK 2000 IEM receiver.

Setting Transferred receiver parameter

“Balance” Current balance setting (“−15”/“+15”)

“Squelch” Current squelch setting (“Off”, “5 dB” ... “25 dB”)

“Mode” Current audio mode setting (“Stereo”/“Focus”)

“High Boost” Current treble boost setting (“flat”/“High boost”)

“Auto Lock” Current lock mode setting (“active”/“inactive”)

Synchronizing the transmitter with an EK 2000 IEM receiver

Stereo Transmitter SR 2050 IEM

Synchronizing the transmitter with an EK 2000 IEM receiver

When synchronizing your transmitter with an EK 2000 IEM receiver, please observe the following:

왘 Only use a transmitter and a receiver from the same frequency range (see the

type plate on the transmitter and the receiver).

왘 Make sure that the desired frequencies are listed in the enclosed frequency infor-

mation sheet.

왘 Make sure that the desired frequencies are approved and legal in your country

and, if necessary, apply for an operating license.

Synchronizing the transmitter with an EK 2000 IEM receiver – individual operation

Upon delivery, transmitter and receiver are synchronized with each other. If, however, you cannot establish a transmission link between transmitter and receiver, you have to synchronize the channels of the devices:

왘 Carry out the Easy Setup Sync function and then the Sync function (see

Alternatively, you can set the channel on the transmitter manually:

왘 Make sure that you set the transmitter to the same frequency bank and the same channel

as the receiver.

Synchronizing transmitters with EK 2000 IEM receivers – multi-channel operation

Network operation

using the WSM

In multi-channel operation, the transmitters are remote controlled via a PC running the “Wireless Systems Manager” (WSM) software.

Advantages of controlling the transmitters via the “Wireless Systems Manager” (WSM) software:

• Detailed overview of all transmission and receiving channels

• Remote control of all transmitters in the network

• Combination of transmitters of different frequency ranges (see page 4).

page 16)

Operation without

network

왘 Connect your transmitters and your PC in a network (see page 12). 왘 Switch your transmitters and your PC on. 왘 Launch the “Wireless Systems Manager” (WSM) software. 왘 To set up your multi-channel system, proceed as described in the instruction manual of

the “Wireless Systems Manager” (WSM) software.

왘 Carry out the Easy Setup Sync function and then, for each transmission link, the Sync

function (see

page 16).

Page 10

Using freely selectable transmission frequencies

You can also freely select the frequencies and store these frequencies in the frequency banks “U1” to “U6”.

If you want to use the frequency banks “U1” to “U6”:

왘 Make sure to use transmitters and receivers from the same frequency range (see page 4

and the type plates of the devices).

To ensure that the desired frequencies are intermodulation-free:

왘 Contact your Sennheiser partner (see www.sennheiser.com).

왘 Set each transmitter to the same frequency bank. 왘 On one of the transmitters, select a channel within this frequency bank (see page 19). 왘 Assign this channel one of the calculated transmission frequencies (see page 19). 왘 Synchronize a receiver with your transmitter ( , see

왘 Manually set the receiver to the same frequency bank, channel and frequency that you set

on the transmitter.

왘 Repeat for the remaining transmitters and receivers as described above.

Cleaning the transmitter

CAUTION! Liquids can damage the electronics of the transmitter!

Liquids entering the housing of the device can cause a short-circuit and damage the electronics.

왘 Keep all liquids away from the transmitter.

왘 Before cleaning, disconnect the device from the mains. 왘 Use a slightly damp cloth to clean the device from time to time. Do not use any solvents

or cleansing agents.
