Installing 2000 IEM series devices You can find information about installing and connecting 2000 IEM series devices in the following sections.
Installing the EK 2000 IEM Installing the EK 2000 IEM Inserting and removing the batteries/rechargeable batteries You can operate the diversity receiver either with batteries (AA, 1.5 V) or with the rechargeable Sennheiser BA 2015 battery. Press the two catches and open the battery compartment cover. ▷ Insert the batteries or the rechargeable battery as shown below. Please observe correct polarity when inserting the batteries. ▷ ▷ Close the battery compartment.
Installing the EK 2000 IEM Battery status Charge status of the batteries: ► Charge status is critical (LOW BATT): ► 16
Installing the EK 2000 IEM Connecting earphones to the EK 2000 IEM CAUTION Danger due to high volume levels! Volume levels that are too high may damage your hearing. ▷ Turn down the volume of the headphone output before you put on the headphone. To connect the earphones to the receiver: ▷ Insert the cable’s 3.5 mm jack plug into the PHONES socket on the receiver as shown in the diagram. ► ► The ground connection of the earphone cable acts as an antenna for the second diversity branch.
Installing the EK 2000 IEM Attaching the diversity receiver to your clothing You can use the belt clip to attach the diversity receiver to your waistband or on a guitar strap. The belt clip is detachable so that you can also attach the diversity receiver with the antenna pointing downwards. To do so, withdraw the belt clip from its fixing points and attach it the other way round. The belt clip is secured so that it cannot slide out of its fixing points accidentally.
Installing the EK 2000 IEM Press one side of the clip downward on the fixing hole and pull it out of the housing. ▷ Do the same thing on the other side.

Installing SR 2000 IEM / SR 2050 IEM Connecting/disconnecting the SR 2000 IEM / SR 2050 IEM with/from the power supply Only use the supplied power supply unit. It is designed for your receiver and ensures safe operation. NOTICE Damage due to electric current! If you connect the transmitter to an unsuitable power supply, this can cause damage to the device. Use the supplied mains cable to connect the transmitter to the mains (100 to 240 V AC,50 or 60 Hz).
Installing SR 2000 IEM / SR 2050 IEM To disconnect the SR 2000 IEM / SR 2050 IEM transmitter from the power supply: ▷ Unplug the power supply unit from the wall socket. ▷ Unplug the mains plug from the wall socket. Creating a data network You can monitor and control one or more SR 2000 IEM / SR 2050 IEM transmitters via a network connection using Sennheiser Wireless Systems Manager (WSM) software. Automatic frequency setup can also be performed over the network without the WSM software.
Installing SR 2000 IEM / SR 2050 IEM For more information about controlling devices via the Sennheiser Wireless Systems Manager (WSM) software, refer to the instruction manual for the software. You can download the software here: www.sennheiser.com/wsm Connecting audio signals You can connect Mono or Stereo signals via the two input sockets BAL AF IN L(I) and BAL AF IN R(II). To do so, the SR 2000 IEM / SR 2050 IEM must be configured for Mono or Stereo operation in the Mode menu item.
Installing SR 2000 IEM / SR 2050 IEM In Stereo mode, you can receive the two input signals either as a mixed mono signal or as a stereo signal. To do so, you must select Focus or Stereo mode on the EK 2000 IEM receiver (see Mode menu item). Mono Connect the output of an external device (e.g. a mixing console or another SR 2000 IEM / SR 2050 IEM to the audio input socket BAL AF IN L(I) or BAL AF IN L(II). ▷ Via the operating menu, adjust the transmitter’s input sensitivity.
Installing SR 2000 IEM / SR 2050 IEM Stereo ▷ Connect the output of an external device (e.g. a mixing console or another SR 2000 IEM / SR 2050 IEM) to the audio input sockets BAL AF IN L(I) and BAL AF IN R(II). In Stereo mode, the corresponding EK 2000 IEM receiver can be operated in Focus mode or Stereo mode. See Mode menu item.
Installing SR 2000 IEM / SR 2050 IEM Daisy chaining audio signals Using the LOOP OUT BAL L and/or LOOP OUT BAL R output sockets, it is possible to transmit a signal that you want to make available to all receivers from the mixing console to a transmitter and then to daisy chain this signal from the transmitter to the other transmitters.
Installing SR 2000 IEM / SR 2050 IEM Connecting antennas If you are using more than one transmitter, we recommend using remote antennas and the AC 3200-II antenna combiner. You can find more information here: Installing the AC 3200-II Using the AC 3200-II For professional use, we recommend connecting a remote antenna and, if necessary, using Sennheiser antenna accessories.
Installing SR 2000 IEM / SR 2050 IEM Connecting several transmitters to a remote antenna To make multi-channel systems, you should use the AC 3200 antenna combiner (optional accessory). The AC 3200 allows you to operate up to eight transmitters with a single antenna without virtually any intermodulation. ▷ Connect the AC 3200 antenna combiner to the BNC socket (see Connecting the AC 3200-II with transmitters).
Installing SR 2000 IEM / SR 2050 IEM Mounting the antennas to the front of the rack To mount the antenna connections to the front of the rack when rack mounting the transmitter, you require the GA 3030 AM antenna front mount kit (Accessories). To mounting the antennas to the front of the rack: ▷ Guide the BNC connector of the BNC extension cable through the hole in the rack mount “ear”. ▷ Connect the BNC connector to the antenna output.
Installing SR 2000 IEM / SR 2050 IEM Mounting the transmitter into a rack NOTICE Rack mounting poses risks! 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.

Establishing a radio link Establishing a radio link To establish a radio link between the transmitter and receiver, the same frequency must be set in both devices. You can do this in a number of different ways: Use the Easy Setup function to perform an automatic frequency setup (see Easy Setup menu item). ▷ Set a frequency in the receiver manually (see Frequency Preset menu item) and synchronize it with the transmitter (see Synchronizing devices).
Synchronizing devices Synchronizing devices You can synchronize the 2000 IEM series transmitters and receivers via the transmitter’s and receiver’s infrared interfaces. The Easy Setup Sync function makes it possible to transfer unused frequency presets from your EK 2000 IEM receiver to multiple transmitters via the infrared interface after you have performed a Frequency Preset Scan with this receiver. The next unused channel in the receiver’s current frequency bank is transferred to your transmitter.
Synchronizing devices The next unused frequency preset is transferred from the receiver to the transmitter. Once the transfer is complete, the numbers of the transferred frequency bank and the transferred channel appear in the display panel of the transmitter. ▷ Press the jog dial on the transmitter to save the synchronized frequency. ▷ Hold the infrared interface of the mobile receiver in front of the infrared interfaces of the remaining transmitters one at a time.
Synchronizing devices ► ▷ Hold the infra-red interface of the receiver in front of the infra-red interface of the transmitter. The parameters are transferred to the receiver. The blue LED blinks during transmission. When the transfer is complete, a tick appears in the transmitter’s display as a confirmation. Then the transmitter will return to the standard display. To cancel synchronization: ▷ Press the ESC button on the transmitter. An X appears on the display.

Using the AC 3200-II Switching the AC 3200-II on and off To switch on the antenna combiner: ▷ Press the on/off switch . The AC 3200-II switches on and the LED lights up red. ▷ Press the on/off switch again The AC 3200-II switches off and the LED goes off. After switch-off, the AC 3200-II is in standby mode. To disconnect the device and the NT 12-125D mains uni from the mains power supply, pull out the mains connector from the wall socket.
Using the AC 3200-II RF indicators The AC 3200-II has 8 control LEDs which light up green on the channels where transmission power is available.
Using the AC 3200-II Recommendations and tips for optimum transmission There should be a “free line of sight” between transmitting and receiving antennas. ▷ To avoid overloading the receiver, observe a minimum distance of 5 m between transmitting and receiving antennas. ▷ Observe a minimum distance of 50 cm between the transmitting antenna and metal objects (such as cross members or reinforced-concrete walls).
