Sennheiser EM 3532-U manual Monitoring the sound signal, headphone connection, Volume up? No

22 Monitoring the sound signal, headphone connection

Sockets on the EM 3532 receiver can be used to monitor the sound signal received with headphones. The headphone volume is adjusted with controls .

Please use headphones with a 1/4 ” (6.3 mm) ø stereo jack plug. The sound signal itself is mono. The Sennheiser HD 25 headphone is especially usefull for this purpose.

In order to judge the quality of the received sound signal even under unfavourable conditions (low AF level in the transmitter) and with high ambient noise (e.g. on the stage), the sound signal at sockets can be monitored at an amplification of up to 30 dB compared with the LINE output. For strong sound signals, however, this can distort the sound if control is turned to a high level.

In this case, turn control	down until the distortion disappears. If the distortion remains, the
transmitter itself is overmodulated.
Volume up? – No!
First of all, the volume control		should always be adjusted to the lowest volume

(by turning it anti-clockwise as far as possible). Then turn up the volume control gradually until you have reached the desired volume.

When people use headphones, they tend to choose a higher volume than with loudspeakers. Listening at high volume levels for long periods can lead to perma- nent hearing defects. Please protect your hearing, and as far as possible, check the sound signal only at moderate volumes.
