SpeechLine Digital Wireless: System Information SpeechLine Digital Wireless comprises mobile transmitters (handheld or bodypack) tailored for speech applications, speech optimized condenser microphones (a microphone capsule for the handheld transmitter, a clip-on or headset microphone for the bodypack transmitter) and a rack receiver. The transmitters are powered by rechargeable lithium-ion accupacks with a battery life of more than 15 hours. The accupacks can be recharged with the charger or via USB.
Focus on the spoken word Focus on the spoken word ► The spoken word is and remains the most personal and powerful instrument of communication we know. It allows us to convince people, to impart knowledge and to voice opinions, thoughts and views as well as emotions. That is why it is so important that none of the content is lost when audio devices such as wireless microphones and the associated receivers are used.
Focus on the spoken word SpeechLine Digital Wireless – the professional solution for speakers, lecturers and presenters ► The best wireless microphones and receivers are those which the speaker does not need to think about because they are ready for immediate use, automatically establish the most reliable radio link and provide maximum transmission reliability in every application and all day long.
Focus on the spoken word Typical applications Excellent speech intelligibility, easy handling and convenient control are to the fore at all times, regardless of whether SpeechLine Digital Wireless is used in presentations, meetings or telephone conferences. Presentations ► In the case of a presentation held before a large audience, such as in an auditorium or a large conference room, it is essential that every word can be understood.
Focus on the spoken word Meetings ► Good speech intelligibility and easy handling of the microphone system are important requirements for professional meetings. The larger the conference or training room, the more helpful is an audio system which enhances speech intelligibility. In large conference rooms in particular, a speaker seated at one end is difficult to understand at the other end.
Focus on the spoken word Teleconferences ► In modern office life, teleconferences are becoming more and more important for the cooperation of international teams. As a telephone alone can only offer inadequate speech transmission for all participants in the room, the SpeechLine Digital Wireless system can easily be connected to an existing teleconference unit such as the Sennheiser TeamConnect system. This processes the audio signals and establishes the connection to the remote participants.
Focus on the spoken word What are the features of SpeechLine Digital Wireless? Automatic frequency management SpeechLine Digital Wireless finds free transmission frequencies reliably and fully automatically. Manual intervention is not necessary in the search for a free frequency. This means that your wireless microphone and the receiver are ready for use within an extremely short time: connect them, switch them on – and that’s all.
Focus on the spoken word the Adaptive Power Mode ensures extremely easy startup and a reliable maximum range. The Multi-Room Mode allows you to adjust the transmission power to allow for a considerably larger number of links. These adjustment options make SpeechLine Digital Wireless the optimum solution for a great variety of projects with widely differing installation sizes at the same location.

SpeechLine Digital Wireless: System planning SYSTEM PLANNING SpeechLine Digital Wireless: System planning This section of the documentation contains information to help you with system planning: Planning Preparation: important information about country-specific frequency variants, correct use of transmission power and recommendations for space usage. -> „Planning“ Using Antennas: important information that you need to take into account when installing and using antennas.
SpeechLine Digital Wireless: System planning ► When planning the installation of a wireless audio system, there are some aspects to be considered such as the number and size of the rooms to be equipped or the number of the wireless microphone links you plan to install. These aspects are crucial for any project regardless of size. In this part of the documentation, we would like to offer some advice on how to proceed when planning a SpeechLine Digital Wireless installation.
Planning Planning At the start of planning, the following aspects are to be considered. Country-Specific Variants Check which country variant of SpeechLine Digital Wireless is suitable for your location. The following eight country variants are available. The country variant to be used determines the maximum number of links per range which can be used in the 1.9 GHz frequency band.
Planning -4 EU Variant: ► Latin America Main countries and regions up to 10 Power supply Frequency range Wireless links per reception range -4 US Variant: ► USA Canada Main countries and regions up to 10 Power supply Frequency range Wireless links per reception range -5 US Variant: ► Japan Main countries and regions up to 4 Power supply Frequency range Wireless links per reception range -6 US Variant: ► Taiwan Main countries and regions up to 12 Power supply Frequency range Wireless link
Planning Number and size of the rooms ▷ Determine the number of rooms needed for the installation. ▷ Determine how each individual room is to be equipped and used. ▷ Determine the audio equipment for each room, i.e. the desired number of SpeechLine Digital Wireless links. ▷ Check if there are other devices (e.g. DECT devices) using the 1.9 GHz frequency band. ▷ Double-check that the number of 1.9 GHz devices used on-site does not exceed the available spectrum (see „Shared use of the 1.
Planning Shared use of the 1.9 GHZ frequency band When SpeechLine Digital Wireless is used in combination with other devices using the 1.9 GHz frequency band (e.g. Sennheiser TeamConnect Wireless or DECT telephones), the maximum number of SpeechLine Digital Wireless links depends on the number of other devices used. The following charts indicate the possible combinations of systems depending on country-specific conditions (see also „Country-Specific Variants“).
Planning ► TeamConnect Wireless Systems - within range of 100 m USA, Canada, Latin America, Brazil, Taiwan SpeechLine Digital Wireless Links per range (adjustable) 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 0 1 2 3 4 5 seamless cooperation depending on spectrum used by other systems exceeds available spectrum ► TeamConnect Wireless Systems - within range of 100 m Japan SpeechLine Digital Wireless Links per range (adjustable) 0 1 2 3 4 0 1 2 3 4 seamless cooperation depending on spectrum used by other systems exc
Planning Analysis of the environmental conditions When planning the installation of a SpeechLine Digital Wireless system, you should also carefully analyze the environmental conditions. Are there any other 1.9 GHz devices (e.g. DECT telephones or DECT access points) already installed? Observe the following aspects when planning an installation ▷ Identify the locations of DECT access points (e.g. for DECT telephone systems). Also observe the information provided under „Shared use of the 1.
Recommendations on antenna mounting Recommendations on antenna mounting There are different factors to consider when mounting antennas. This chapter provides instructions and recommendations that you should follow when mounting antennas. Antenna setup and planning for SpeechLine Digital Wireless When planning the installation of SpeechLine Digital Wireless devices for each room, observe the following guidelines. ▷ Mount all SpeechLine Digital Wireless receivers together in one rack.
Recommendations on antenna mounting Antenna mounting options There are different options for remote mounting the antennas. We recommend the following four options in the specified order.
Recommendations on antenna mounting Option 1: Connecting the AWM 2 or AWM 4 antenna wall mount directly to the receiver(s) You can connect one receiver directly to one AWM 2 antenna wall mount or you can connect two receivers directly to one AWM 4 antenna wall mount. ► • For the AWM 2, you can use Sennheiser extension cables CL 5/10/20. • For the AWM 4, you can use Sennheiser extension cables CL 1/5/10/20 PP.
Recommendations on antenna mounting Remote antenna distances and line of sight If you are using multiple antenna wall mounts (AWM 2/AWM 4) in one room or if individual installation and mounting of the antennas is desired, please observe the following aspects: ▷ Position all antennas as close as possible to each other. ▷ Make sure that the distances between all antennas are all equal and the same as on the back of the receiver or on the AWM 2 antenna wall mount.
Recommendations on antenna mounting ▷ When using multiple AWM 2/AWM 4 antenna wall mounts, make sure that the distances between all antennas are equal: ► ▷ If possible, position the antennas so that there is a direct line of sight (without obstacles) between the transmitters and the antennas.
Recommendations on antenna mounting Option 2: Combining multiple links to one AWM 2/ AWM 4 With this variant, you can use passive antenna splitters (SL PASC 2 or SL PASC 4) together with the AWM 2 or AWM 4 to combine the antenna signals from multiple receivers. This reduces the number of antenna cables required to a minimum. Combining up to 2 links using the AWM 2 and the SL PASC 2 The following illustration shows an example of how to combine up to 2 links with one AWM 2 antenna wall mount.
Recommendations on antenna mounting Combining up to 4 links using the AWM 2 and the SL PASC 4 The following illustration shows an example of how to combine up to 4 links with one AWM 2 antenna wall mount. This reduces the number of antenna cables required from 8 to 2. ► AWM 2 Use the following Sennheiser cables for connecting the AWM 2 to the SL PASC 4: CL 5 (5 m / 16.4 ft) art. no. 505976 CL 10 (10 m / 32.8 ft) art. no.
Recommendations on antenna mounting Combining up to 8 links using the AWM 4 and two SL PASC 4 units The following illustration shows an example of how to combine up to 8 links with one AWM 4 antenna wall mount. This reduces the number of antenna cables required from 16 to 4. ► Use the following Sennheiser cables for connecting the AWM 4 to the SL PASC 4: AWM 4 CL 1 PP (1 m / 3.3 ft) art. no. 507425 CL 5 PP (5 m / 16.4 ft) art. no. 507426 CL 10 PP (10 m / 32.8 ft) art. no.
Recommendations on antenna mounting Signal loss due to extension cables and antenna splitters In this scenario, the use of extension cables and antenna splitters with a remotely mounted antenna may result in loss of transmission power, depending on the cable length. You can compensate this signal loss by configuring the transmission power of the receiver accordingly.
Recommendations on antenna mounting Option 3: Rack mounting - front If you wish to install the antennas together with the receivers in a rack, we recommend mounting the antennas on the front side of the rack using the GA 4 mounting kit. ▷ Always leave 1 U of space between receivers and antennas. ▷ Position the antennas at an angle of about 45°.
Recommendations on antenna mounting Option 4: Rack mounting - rear If you cannot mount the antennas at the front of the rack (option 3), you can also mount them at the rear of the receiver in the rack. When mounting, observe the following information. ▷ Position the antennas so that they point at a 180-degree angle away from the receiver. ▷ Run all cables close to the receivers to prevent the cables from interfering with the antenna reception. Use the cable grip.
Recommendations on antenna mounting Further important information on antenna usage Reflecting surfaces Electrically conducting surfaces (e.g. ceilings with metal constructions) can reflect the RF signal. ► The signal is reflected by the electrically conducting surface. At worst, the blue signal and the red reflected signal are out of phase when they reach the receiver so that the two signals cancel each other out.
Recommendations on antenna mounting Rule of thumb for distance from the blocking area: ► Blocking range Free range ratio 1:1 Example: ► 44
Multi-room mode Multi-room mode SpeechLine Digital Wireless, by taking into account the installation size as well as country-specific regulations, allows to optimally use the 1.9 GHz frequency band. SpeechLine Digital Wireless offers two operating modes for different types of installation: the automatic mode with adaptive transmission power for single-room installations (Adaptive Power Mode) and the manual mode for multi-room installations, which is known as Multi-Room Mode.
Multi-room mode Single room – installation and startup ▷ Install all receivers in one rack (see „Installing receivers in a rack“). ▷ Wire all receivers (see „Connecting the receiver“). ▷ Mount all antennas as recommended (see „Recommendations on antenna mounting“). ▷ Make sure that all receivers are switched off. ▷ Switch the first receiver on. This receiver will be the master receiver. ▷ Pair a transmitter to the receiver. Only do this if necessary.
Multi-room mode ▷ Wait until the status LED on both the receiver and the transmitter lights up green. ▷ Adjust the transmission power of the receiver to the desired setting as indicated in the receiver's operating menu (System Settings menu -> RF Power) ▷ Switch the receiver off and on again to apply this setting. ▷ Perform a walk test to check the transmission power (see „Performing a walk test (reception quality)“). ▷ If necessary, re-adjust the transmission power and then repeat the walk test.
