The SR 2000 IEM and SR 2050 IEM transmitters The SR 2000 IEM and SR 2050 IEM transmitters With the SR 2000 IEM and SR 2050 IEM 2-channel/stereo monitoring transmitters, 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 transmitters can also be used for any application where talkback signals are to be transmitted.
Delivery includes Each of the channels in the frequency banks “1” to “20” has been factory-preset to a fixed transmission frequency (frequency preset). The factory-preset frequencies within one frequency bank are intermodulation-free. These frequencies cannot be changed. For an overview of the frequency presets, please refer to the supplied frequency information sheet. Updated versions of the frequency information sheet can be downloaded from the corresponding product page on our website at www.sennheiser.

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 (see page 27) 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.
Using the transmitter Easy Setup Sync The first unused frequency preset is transferred from the receiver to the transmitter. When the transfer is completed, the display panel of the transmitter displays the numbers of the transferred frequency bank and channel. Please note that the transmitter does not automatically store the frequency bank and channel setting.
Using the operating menu Using the operating menu A special feature of the Sennheiser 2000 series is the consistent, intuitive menu structure of transmitters and receivers. As a result, adjustments to the settings can be made quickly – even in stressful situations, for example on stage or during a live show or presentation.

Synchronizing the transmitter with the EK 2000 IEM receiver Synchronizing the transmitter with the EK 2000 IEM receiver When synchronizing your transmitter with the EK 2000 IEM receiver, please observe the following: 왘 Only use a transmitter and a receiver from the same frequency range (see the type plates on the transmitter and the receiver). 왘 Make sure that the desired frequencies are listed in the enclosed frequency information sheet.
Synchronizing the transmitter with the EK 2000 IEM receiver Operation without network 왘 First carry out the Easy Setup Sync function (see table on page 16, left-hand column). The transmitter is set to a suitable frequency. 왘 Then carry out the Sync function once for each transmitter/receiver pair (see table on page 16, right-hand column). This establishes a transmission link between the transmitter and the receiver.
Cleaning the transmitter Cleaning the transmitter CAUTION! Liquids can damage the electronics of the transmitter! Liquids entering the housing of the transmitter can cause a short-circuit and damage the electronics. 왘 Keep all liquids away from the transmitter. 왘 Do not use any solvents or cleansing agents. 왘 Before cleaning, disconnect the transmitter from the mains. 왘 Use a cloth to clean the transmitter from time to time.
Recommendations and tips Recommendations and tips ... for optimum reception • 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. • To avoid overloading the receiver, observe a minimum distance of 5 m between transmitting and receiving antennas. ...
