Putting the devices into operation Putting the devices into operation Putting the SR 300 IEM G3 transmitter into operation When using more than one transmitter, we recommend connecting remote antennas and, if necessary, using Sennheiser antenna accessories. Fore more information, visit the ew G3 product page at www.sennheiser.com. Setting up the transmitter on a flat surface Place the transmitter on a flat, horizontal surface. Please note that the device feet can leave stains on delicate surfaces.
Putting the devices into operation Mounting the transmitter into a 19” rack Do not fit the device feet when mounting the transmitter into a 19” rack. CAUTION! Risks when rack mounting the transmitter! 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.
Putting the devices into operation Rack mounting two transmitters To mount two transmitters into a rack using the GA 3 rack adapter: 왘 Place the two transmitters side by side upside-down onto a flat surface: 왘 Secure the jointing plate to the transmitters using six recessed head screws (M 3x6). 왘 Secure the rack mount “ears” to the transmitters as described on page 9. To mount the antennas: 왘 Use remote antennas, if necessary in conjunction with the AC 3 antenna combiner.
Putting the devices into operation Connecting devices to the input sockets 왘 Use a suitable cable to connect the output of an external device (e.g. a mixing console or an PUSH PUSH additional SR 300 IEM G3) to the input socket BAL AF IN L(I) and/or BAL AF IN R(II) (see also page 13). L(I) BAL AF IN +22dBu MAX 왘 Adjust the output level of your external device. 왘 Via the operating menu, adjust the transmitter’s input sensitivity.
Putting the devices into operation Daisy chaining audio signals You can transmit the same audio signal (e.g. the sum of all audio signals) to several diversity receivers of a multi-channel system. To do so, you have to daisy chain this audio signal from one transmitter to the next via the output sockets LOOP OUT BAL L(I) or LOOP OUT BAL R(II) . The audio signal is then transmitted by all transmitters on one of the two audio channels L(I) or R(II).
Putting the devices into operation Putting the EK 300 IEM G3 diversity receiver into operation Inserting the batteries/accupack For powering the diversity receiver, you can either use two 1.5 V AA size batteries or the rechargeable Sennheiser BA 2015 accupack. 왘 Open the battery compartment by pushing the two catches in the direction of the arrows and open the cover . 왘 Insert the two batteries or the accupack as shown above. Please observe correct polarity when inserting the batteries/accupack.
Putting the devices into operation Attaching the diversity receiver to clothing You can use the belt clip to attach the diversity receiver to clothing (e.g. belt, waistband). 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.
Using the devices Using the devices To establish a transmission link, proceed as follows: 1. Switch the transmitter on. 2. Switch the diversity receiver on. The transmission link is established. It is vital to observe the notes on frequency selection on page 27. If you cannot establish a transmission link between transmitter and receiver: 왘 Make sure that transmitter and receiver are set to the same frequency bank and to the same channel – the easiest way is to synchronize the devices (see page 20).
Using the devices When in the operating menu, pressing the STANDBY button will cancel your entry (ESC function) and return you to the standard display. The STANDBY button is backlit in red both during operation and in standby mode. To completely switch the transmitter off: 왘 Disconnect the transmitter from the mains by unplugging the mains unit from the wall socket. The backlighting of the STANDBY button goes off.
Using the devices Selecting a standard display on the diversity receiver ESC 왘 Press the ESC button to select a standard display. In stereo mode, you can alternatively press the rocker button. Contents of the display 519.150 MHz ew300 IEM RF AF P MUTE B.CH 1.1 Lim: - 6dB RF AF P 519.

Using the devices Synchronizing transmitters and EK 300 IEM G3 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.
Using the devices 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 300 IEM G3 receiver.

Using the devices Easy Setup Sync Either: Sync – 왘 Store the frequency bank and channel setting by pressing the jog dial on your transmitters. The RF signal is activated. 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).

Synchronizing the transmitter with the diversity receiver Synchronizing the transmitter with the diversity receiver When synchronizing the transmitter with the 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.
Cleaning the devices Using freely selectable 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 Make sure to use transmitters and receivers from the same frequency range (see page 4 and the type plates of the devices). To ensure that the desired frequencies are intermodulation-free: 왘 Contact your Sennheiser partner (see www.sennheiser.com).
