Hazard warnings on the rear of the transmitter (SR 350 IEM G2 only)
The label shown on the left is attached to the rear of the transmitter. The
symbols on this label have the following meaning:
This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated
dangerous voltage within the transmitter’s enclosure that may be of
sufficient magnitude to constitute risk of fire or electric shock.
This symbol is intended to alert the user to the risk of electric shock if the
transmitter is opened. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Refer
servicing to qualified personnel only.
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 has used
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 due to high volumes
This is a professional transmission system. 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 system 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:
y You can hear ringing or whistling sounds in your ears.
y You have the impression (even for a short time only) that you can no longer
hear high notes.
Reception interference due to high transmission power
The SR 350 IEM G2 twin transmitter can be switched to a transmission power
of 100 mW. Depending on the selected frequency, this can affect the
reception of other wireless systems.

The ew 300 IEM G2 systems
With the Sennheiser evolution wireless in-ear monitoring systems
ew 300 IEM G2 (suitable for both stage and broadcast use), 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 system can also be used for any application
where talkback signals are to be transmitted.
The evolution wireless in-ear monitoring systems ew 300 IEM G2 are high-
quality state-of-the-art RF transmission systems with a high level of
operational reliability and ease of use. The transmitters and the receiver
permit wireless transmission with studio-quality sound. The excellent
transmission reliability of the ew 300 IEM G2 systems is based on the use of
y further optimized PLL synthesizer and microprocessor technology,
y the HDX noise reduction system,
y the pilot tone squelch control (during stereo operation),
y and the scan function for scanning the channel banks for free channels.
The ew 300 IEM series offers two systems:
y the ew 300 IEM G2 system
(SR 300 IEM G2 stereo transmitter, EK 300 IEM G2 stereo receiver)
y and the SR 350 IEM G2 twin transmitter
The EK 300 IEM G2 can also be used with the SR 350 IEM G2 twin transmitter.
The SR 350 IEM G2 twin transmitter consists of two complete SR 300 IEM G2
stereo transmitters, but offers some advantages such as
y easy rack mounting,
y a built-in mains unit
y and a switchable transmission power for optimum operational reliability

The channel banks “1” to “8” have up to 12 switchable channels that are factory-preset to a transmission/receiving
frequency (see enclosed frequency table). These transmission/receiving frequencies cannot be changed but have
been preset so that e.g. country-specific regulations on frequency usage are taken into account (see “Type
approvals” on page 39). For detailed information, please refer to the enclosed frequency data sheets and to the
country-specific frequency and transmission power overviews.
An advantage of the factory-preset frequencies is that
y the system is ready for immediate use after switch-on,
y several transmission systems can be operated simultaneously on the preset channels without causing
intermodulation interference.

The receiver can also be powered via the rechargeable Sennheiser BA 2015
accupack. Insert the accupack into the battery compartment as described
above.
¾
The receiver has two charging contacts ´ and a sensing contact on its short
sides. The accupack can be recharged while remaining in the receiver. Insert
the receiver into the L 2015 charger (see user manual of the L 2015 charger).
´
Note:
For accupack operation of the receiver, only use the BA 2015 accupack In
order to ensure optimum operational reliability. For charging the
accupack, only use the L 2015 charger. Both the accupack and the charger
are available as accessories.
The accupack is fitted with an integrated sensor which is – via a third
contact – monitored by the electronics of the receiver and the charger.
The sensor is necessary for the following control purposes:
y The taking into account of the different voltage characteristics of
primary cells (batteries) and accupacks. The battery status indications
on the displays, the transmission of transmitter battery status
information to the rack-mount receivers and the switch-off thresholds
at the end of the operating time are corrected correspondingly. Due to
the missing sensor, individual rechargeable battery cells will not be
identified as accupacks.
y The monitoring of the accupack temperature during charging in the L
2015 charger.
y The prevention of improper charging of inserted primary cells
(batteries). Due to the missing sensor, individual rechargeable battery
cells will also not be charged in the L 2015 charger.

Adjustment tips for the operating menu
Switching between channel banks
BANK
Bank
Via the “Bank” menu, you can switch between the nine channel banks of the
ew 300 IEM G2 transmitter and receiver. The channel banks “1” to “8” have
up to 12 switchable channels that are factory-preset to a transmission/
receiving frequency (see “The channel bank system” on page 5). The channel
bank “U” (user bank) also has up to 12 switchable channels to store your
selection out of 1,440 transmission/receiving frequencies that are freely
selectable within the preset frequency range.
When switching from one channel bank to another, the channel with the
lowest channel number is automatically displayed. If, during the last scan of
this channel bank, an interfering frequency was detected on the channel with
the lowest channel number, the receiver display panel automatically displays
the next free channel (see below).

channel. After scanning a channel bank (see “Scanning the channel banks for
free channels (receiver only)” on page 28), only the free channels are
displayed. Set the transmitter to one of the free channels.
Selecting the frequencies to be stored
in the channel bank “U”
TUNE
Tune
Via the “Tune” menu, you can select the frequencies to be stored in the
channel bank “U” (user bank).
When you have selected one of the channel banks “1” to “8” and then select
the “Tune” menu, the transmitter or receiver automatically switches to
channel 01 of the channel bank “U”. In this case, “U.01” briefly appears on
the display.
̈ Use the ̄/̆ rocker button to select the desired transmission or receiving
frequency. Transmission and receiving frequencies are tunable in 25-kHz
steps within a switching bandwidth of 36 MHz max. For intermodulation-
free frequencies, please refer to the enclosed frequency table.
Scanning the channel banks for free channels
(receiver only)
SCAN
Before putting one or several transmission links into operation, you should
scan the selected channel bank for free channels.
Starting the scan and storing the scan result
̈ Before starting the scan, switch all transmitters of your system off, since
channels used by switched-on transmitters will not be displayed as “free
channels”.
̈ Select the “SCAN” menu.
28
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
̈ Select “START” and confirm your selection by pressing the SET button.
After the scan is completed, the number of free channels is displayed.
Pressing the SET button once more will store the scan result and lock all
channels that are used or subject to interference.
Releasing locked channels
̈ Select the “SCAN” menu.
̈ Select “CLEAR” and confirm your selection by pressing the SET button. All
channels in this channel bank can now be selected again.
Multi-channel operation
For multi-channel operation, only use the free channels in a channel bank.
Before putting the transmission links into operation, we recommend
performing an auto scan.
̈ Select a channel bank on a receiver.
̈ Scan this channel bank for free channels. If not enough free channels are
available in the selected channel bank, repeat the scan with another
channel bank.
̈ Apply the scan result to all other transmitters and receivers.
Note:
If you have the SR 350 IEM G2 twin transmitter connected to the NET 1
network system, follow the instructions of the user manual of the NET 1.
Adjusting the squelch threshold (receiver only)
SQELCH
The receiver is equipped with a squelch that can be adjusted via the “SQELCH”
menu. The squelch eliminates annoying noise when the transmitter is
switched off. It also suppresses sudden noise when there is no longer
sufficient transmitter power received by the receiver.
Note:
Before adjusting the squelch threshold to a different setting, use the
volume control Ƹ to set the volume for the connected headphones to the
minimum.
Ƹ
There are three possible squelch settings:
y LO
y MID = middle
y HI = high
= low
Selecting the setting “LO” reduces the squelch threshold, selecting the
setting “HI” increases the squelch threshold. Adjust the squelch threshold –
with the transmitter switched off – to the lowest possible setting that
suppresses hissing noise.
Notes:
y If the squelch threshold is adjusted too high, the transmission range will
be reduced. Therefore, always adjust the squelch threshold to the
lowest possible setting.
y When in the setting mode of the “SQELCH” menu, pressing the
̄ button for more than three seconds will switch the squelch off.
“SQ.OFF” appears on the display. If no RF signal is being received,
hissing noise will occur. This setting is for test purposes only.

Stereo/FOCUS selection (receiver only)
ST-FOC
Via the “ST-FOC” menu, you can switch between stereo and FOCUS operation.
In both operating modes, the transmitter has to be set to stereo operation.
When the receiver is set to stereo operation, the left-right signals are
available as usual.
When the receiver is set to FOCUS operation, the left-right signals are mixed

the mixed mono signal (see “Adjusting the balance” on page 19).
Limiting the volume at the headphone output
(receiver only)
LTD
Via the “LTD” menu, you can switch the limiter on and off. With the limiter
switched on, the volume at the headphone output will be reduced.
Activating/deactivating the frequency boost
(receiver only)
HI-BST
Via the “HI-BST” menu, you can boost the AF frequency response at 10 kHz.
As a result, headphones with magnetic transducers sound better.
Adjusting the sensitivity (transmitter only)
Sensitiv
To match the transmitter to the output level of the connected unit (e.g.
mixing console), you can adjust the input sensitivity in four steps of 8 dB
(from 0 to –24 dB) via the “Sensitiv” menu.
The input sensitivity is adjusted too high when close talking distances,
speakers with loud voices or loud music passages cause overmodulation in
the transmission link. In this case, the transmitter’s “PEAK” warning will light
up and the receiver’s level display for audio signal “AF” will show full
deflection.
If, on the other hand, the sensitivity is adjusted too low, the transmission link
will be undermodulated, which would result in a signal with high background
noise.
The sensitivity is correctly adjusted when the level display for audio signal
“AF” shows full deflection only during the loudest passages.

Recommendations and tips
... for the EK 300 IEM G2 receiver
y The antenna should hang freely and be at least 1 cm away from the body.
The antenna must not be in direct contact with the skin.
... for optimum reception
y Transmission range depends to a large extent on location and can vary
from about 10 m to about 150 m. There should be a “free line of sight”
between transmitting and receiving antennas.
y If, with the SR 300 IEM G2 transmitter or the SR 350 IEM G2 twin receiver,
transmission conditions are unfavourable, you should use a remote
antenna which is connected via antenna cable.
y To avoid overmodulating the receiver, observe a minimum distance of 5 m
between transmitting and receiving antennas.
y Observe a minimum distance of 50 cm between the transmitting antennas
and metal objects (such as cross members or reinforced-concrete walls).
... for multi-channel operation
y For multi-channel operation, you can only use the channels in a channel
bank. Each of the channel banks “1” to “8” accommodates up to 12
factory-preset frequencies which are intermodulation-free. For alternative
frequency combinations, please refer to the enclosed frequency table. The
freely selectable frequencies can be selected via the “Tune” menu and can
be stored in the channel bank “U”.
y When using several transmitters simultaneously, interference can be
avoided by maintaining a minimum distance of 20 cm between two
transmitters. For multi-channel applications, use the appropriate
transmitter combiners (see “Accessories and spare parts” on page 40):
y SR 300 IEM G2 stereo transmitter:
AC 2 transmitter combiner
y SR 350 IEM G2 twin transmitter:
AC 2 transmitter combiner (only when the transmission power is set to
“LOW”) or AC 3200 transmitter combiner
Care and maintenance

Progress you can hear:
The evolution wireless G2 series is equipped with HDX, the Sennheiser noise
reduction system that reduces RF interference. It increases the signal-to-
noise ratio in wireless audio transmission to more than 110 dB.
HDX is a wideband compander system which compresses the audio signal in
the transmitter in a 2:1 ratio (related to dB) to lift it above the inherent noise
floor of the RF link. In the receiver the signal is expanded in an identical and
opposite way in a 1:2 ratio to restore the original signal, at the same time
reducing the RF noise to below the noise floor of the receiver.
HDX has been specially developed for high quality radiomicrophone systems.
Note:
Only transmitters and receivers that are equipped with HDX can work
correctly with each other. If non HDX equipment was mixed with HDX, the
dynamic range would be drastically reduced and the transmission would
sound blunt and flat. HDX is permanently active and cannot be switched
off.
Wireless transmission systems
With the ew 300 IEM G2 system, Sennheiser puts an end to cable tangles and
enables complete freedom of movement. The systems operate exclusively in
the UHF band. UHF transmission is extremely reliable and is far less prone to
interference than the overcrowded VHF band – harmonics from mains units,
fluorescent tubes, refrigerators, computers, etc. are virtually eliminated. Also
indoor propagation of UHF radio waves is better than VHF so that the RF
power can be kept low – this is also an advantage when using multi-channel
systems. Finally, UHF frequency ranges are being approved all over the world
for radiomicrophone usage – in some countries licence-free.
Correct adjustment of transmitter sensitivity is vital. Too high and you get
overmodulation and distortion, too low and you get undermodulation and a
noisy signal. Please set the sensitivity correctly for the microphone/usage
and check it before every performance to ensure best operation.

Squelch
Pilot tone squelch
The transmitter adds a 19-kHz pilot tone to the audio signal. The receiver
checks incoming audio signals to see if the pilot tone is present. In the
absence of the 19-kHz signal, the receiver’s audio output will remain muted,
even if a strong RF signal is present.
This prevents strong interfering signals from causing hissing noise in the
receiver when the transmitter is switched off.
Field strength-dependent squelch
Depending on the strength of the received RF signal, the receiver’s audio
output is opened or muted. Via the “SQELCH” menu of the receiver, the
squelch threshold can be adjusted in three steps (LO, MID, HI).
