This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and mainte­nance instructions in the literature accompanying this transmitter.

Overloading

Do not overload wall outlets and extension cables as this may result in fire and electric shock.

Replacement parts

When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses replacement parts specified by Sennheiser or those having the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

Safety check

Upon completion of any service or repairs to this device, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the device is in safe operating order.

Danger of hearing damage due to high volumes

This is a professional transmitter. 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. This transmitter 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.

Intended use

Intended use of the SR 2000 IEM and SR 2050 IEM transmitters includes:
• having read these instructions, especially the chapter “Important safety instructions”,
• using the device within the operating conditions and limitations described in this instruc­tion manual.
“Improper use” means using the device other than as described in these instructions, or under operating conditions which differ from those described herein.

With the SR 2000 IEM and SR 2050 IEM 2-channel/stereo monitoring transmitters, musi­cians, video and sound amateurs, reporters/broadcasters, etc. can directly monitor the received sound signals without troublesome cables or monitor speakers being required. In addition, the transmitters can also be used for any application where talkback signals are to be transmitted.
Features of the SR 2000 IEM and SR 2050 IEM transmitters:
• Optimized PLL synthesizer and microprocessor technology
•Stereo/mono selection
HDX noise reduction system
• Switching bandwidth of up to 75 MHz
• Safe configuration of a multi-channel system using the WSM
• Easy setup of a multi-channel system using the Easy Setup Sync function

The frequency bank system

The transmitters are available in 5 UHF frequency ranges with up to 3,000 transmission frequencies per frequency range:
Aw:
Range 558 – 626
Range 516 – 558
500 600 700 800
Gw:
Range Bw: 626 – 698
Range 718 – 790
Cw:
Range Dw: 790 – 865
Each frequency range (Aw–Dw, Gw) offers 26 frequency banks with up to 32 channels each:
Channel 1 – frequency preset
Channel 2 – frequency preset
Frequency bank 1... 20
Channel 32 – frequency preset
Channel 1 – freely selectable frequency
Channel 2 – freely selectable frequency
Frequency bank U1 ... U6
Channel 32 – freely selectable frequency
4

Delivery includes

Each of the channels in the frequency banks “1” to “20” has been factory-preset to a fixed transmission 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 corresponding product page on our website at www.sennheiser.com.
The frequency banks “U1” to “U6” allow you to freely select and store transmission frequen­cies. It might be that these transmission frequencies are not intermodulation-free (see page 22).

Areas of application

The transmitters can be combined with the EK 2000 IEM diversity receiver. For more informa­tion, visit our website at www.sennheiser.com.
This receiver is available in the same UHF frequency ranges and is equipped with the same frequency bank system with factory-preset frequencies. An advantage of the factory-preset frequencies is that
• 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.

Setting up the transmitter on a flat surface

Clean the base of the transmitter where you want to fix the device feet.Fit the device feet to the four corners of the transmitter.Place the transmitter on a flat, horizontal surface. Please note that the device feet can
leave stains on delicate surfaces.

Mounting the transmitter into a 19” rack

CAUTION! Risks when rack mounting the transmitter!
When installing the device in a closed or multi-rack assembly, please consider that, during operation, the ambient temperature, the mechanical loading and the electrical potentials will be different from those of devices which are not mounted into a rack.
Sure that the ambient temperature within the rack does not exceed the permissible
temperature limit specified in the specifications.
If necessary, provide additional ventilation.Make sure that the mechanical loading of the rack is even.When connecting to the power supply, observe the information indicated on the type
plate. Avoid circuit overloading. If necessary, provide overcurrent protection.
When rack mounting, please note that intrinsically harmless leakage currents of the indi-
vidual mains units may accumulate, thereby exceeding the allowable limit value. As a remedy, ground the rack via an additional ground connection.
Slide the transmitter into the 19” rack.Secure the rack mount “ears” to the rack using four screws (not included in the
delivery).
Do not fit the device feet when mounting the transmitter into a 19” rack.

Connecting the antennas

You have the following options:
• For professional use, we recommend connecting a remote antenna and, if necessary, using Sennheiser antenna accessories (see next section and the chapter “Connecting several transmitters to a remote antenna” on page 9).
• If the transmitter is to be put into operation without a large amount of installation work, you can:
– connect the supplied rod antenna to the rear of the transmitter (see page 9) or – use the optional GA 3030 AM antenna front mount kit (see page 9).
