Activating/deactivating the RF signal

To deactivate the RF signal:

왘 When the standard display is shown on the display panel, press the STANDBY

button. “RF Mute On?” appears on the display panel.

왘 Press the jog dial.

The RF signal is deactivated. “RF Mute” flashes in alternation with the standard display and the display is backlight in red.

To activate the RF signal:

왘 Press the STANDBY button.

“RF Mute Off?” appears on the display panel.

왘 Press the jog dial.

The RF signal is activated and the display backlighting changes from red to orange.

To deactivate the RF signal on switch-on:

왘 See “offline operation” on page 13.

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

 is transmitted.

During mono operation, you have to deactivate the pilot tone evaluation on the

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”)

“Limiter” Current limiter setting (“−18 dB”, “−12 dB”, “−6dB”, “Off”)

왘 Press the button  on the trans-

mitter. The icon appears on the display panels of the transmitter.

–

왘 Place the infra-red interface of the

receiver (see the instruction manual of the receiver) in front of the infra-red interface  of the first transmitter. The next unused frequency preset is transferred from the receiver to the

transmitter.

As soon as the transfer is completed, the display panel of the transmitter displays the numbers of the transferred frequency bank and channel.

Please note that the transmitter does not automatically store the frequency bank and channel setting.

왘 Place the infra-red interface of the

receiver (see the instruction manual of the receiver) in front of the infra-red interface  of your transmitter. The parameters adjusted via the “Sync

Settings” menu item are transferred from the transmitter to the receiver

In addition, the current frequency bank and channel setting is transferred.

When the transfer is completed, “ ” appears on the display panel of the transmitter. The transmitter then switches back to the standard display.

The transferred parameters are automatically adjusted and stored by the receiver.

The transmission link between transmitter and receiver is now established.

Easy Setup Sync Sync

왘 Place the infra-red interface of the diver-

sity receiver in front of the infra-red interfaces of the remaining transmitters, one after the other.

왘 Store the frequency bank and channel

setting by pressing the jog dial on your transmitters. You can carry out the Sync function (see right-hand column) at a later time to establish a transmission link between transmitters and receivers.

OR:

왘 Immediately synchronize your receivers

with your transmitters by carrying out the

Sync function (see right-hand column).

This establishes a transmission link between transmitters and receivers. The icon in the left lower corner of the transmitter display indicates that the

Sync function can be carried out.
