You can activate or deactivate the automatic lock mode via the “ Auto Lock ” menu item. If the lock mode is activated, you have to temporarily deactivate it In order to be able to operate the transmitter:

왘

Press the jog dial.

“ Locked ” appears on the display panel.

왘

Turn the jog dial.

“ Unlock?

” appears on the display panel.

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 BAL AF IN L (I) is transmitted.

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.

Using the transmitter

When carrying out the Sync function, the transmitter’s current frequency bank and channel setting as well as the receiver parameters adjusted via the “ Sync Settings ” submenu are transferred to the EK 2000 IEM receiver via the infra-red interface.

Carrying out an Easy Setup Sync or a Sync function

The following assumes that you are using the Easy Setup Sync function for setting up a multichannel system. You can also you the Easy Setup Sync function for establishing a transmission link between one transmitter and one EK 2000 IEM receiver.

Easy Setup Sync

Synchronizing the transmitter with an EK 2000 IEM receiver

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 information 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 page 16).

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).

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).

CAUTION!

Cleaning the transmitter

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

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 page 16)

OR

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

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.

power (see page 19).

Reduce the squelch threshold

(see the instruction manual of the receiver).

Reposition the antennas.

Check the audio level on the transmitter display

(see page 7).

Check the audio level on the transmitter display (see page 7), increase the level of the input signal or adjust the

input sensitivity (see page 19).

Adjust the transmitter sensi-

tivity correctly (see page 19).

Audio signal has a high level of background noise

Transmitter sensitivity is adjusted too low

Audio signal is distorted If “ AF PEAK ” additionally appears on the transmitter display: transmitter sensitivity is adjusted too high

Receiver’s audio output level is adjusted too high

Adjust the transmitter sensitivity correctly.

Reduce the audio output level

(see the instruction manual of the receiver).
