Synchronizing transmitters with diversity receivers
Synchronizing transmitters with diversity receivers
When synchronizing transmitters with diversity receivers, please observe the following:
̈
Make sure that the desired frequencies are listed in the enclosed frequency
information sheet.
OR:
̈
̈
Contact your Sennheiser partner who will be pleased to calculate intermodula-
tion-free frequencies for you.
Make sure that the desired frequencies are approved and legal in your country
and, if necessary, apply for an operating license.
Upon delivery, transmitter and diversity receiver are synchronized with each other. If,
however, you cannot establish a transmission link between transmitter and diversity
receiver, you have to synchronize the channels of the devices:
̈
Deactivate the RF signal on all transmitters (see page 21).
This prevents that, during the frequency scan, the channels used by switched-on trans-
mitters are displayed as “used”.
̈
̈
With a diversity receiver, perform a frequency preset scan to scan the frequency banks
for unused channels (“Scan New List”, see page 24).
Select a frequency bank and a channel on this diversity receiver (“Current List”, see
page 24).
If you want to set up a multi-channel system, select a frequency bank with a sufficient
number of unused channels for all planned transmission links.
̈
Synchronize a transmitter with the diversity receiver (see page 19).
The receiver’s frequency, name and pilot tone setting are transferred to the transmitter.
OR:
̈
̈
Manually set the transmitter to the same frequency bank and channel that you set on the
receiver.
Activate the RF signal on the transmitter.
The transmission link is established.
If you want to set up a multi-channel system:
̈ Repeat the following 4 steps for each additional transmission link:
– Perform a frequency preset scan with the next diversity receiver.
– Select a channel from the same frequency bank as with the first diversity receiver.
– Synchronize a transmitter with the diversity receiver.
– Activate the RF signal on the transmitter.
26
Synchronizing transmitters with diversity receivers
Using freely selectable frequencies
You can also freely select the receiving frequencies and store these frequencies in the
frequency banks “U”.
It might be that the freely selected frequencies are not intermodulation-free
If you use frequencies from the frequency bank “U”, it might be that the frequen-
cies are not intermodulation-free.
̈
Contact your Sennheiser partner who will be pleased to calculate intermodula-
tion-free frequencies for you (see www.sennheiser.com).
̈
̈
Set each diversity receiver to the frequency bank “U”.
On one of the receivers, select a channel within this frequency bank and assign this
channel one of the calculated receiving frequencies (“Tune”, see page 24).
̈
Synchronize a transmitter with this receiver (see page 19).
OR:
̈
̈
Manually set the transmitter to the same frequency bank and channel that you set on the
receiver.
Repeat for the remaining transmitters and receivers as described above.
