Putting the devices into operation

EM 500 receiver

You can set up the receiver on a flat surface or mount it into a 19” rack. For information on rack mounting, refer to the instruction manual of the EM 500 receiver available on the ew G3 product page at www.sennheiser.com.

Setting up the receiver on a flat surface

Place the receiver on a flat, horizontal surface. Please note that the device feet can leave stains on delicate surfaces.

Fitting the device feet  Clean the base of the receiver where you want to fix the device feet.

Fit the device feet to the four corners of the receiver.

Mounting the rack mount “ears”

Connecting the rod antennas

The rack mount “ears” are designed to help protect the operating elements from damage or deformation, e.g. if the receiver is dropped. Therefore, fasten the stacking elements, even if you do not want to rack mount your receivers.

To fasten the rack mount “ears” :

Unscrew and remove the two recessed head screws (M4x8) on each side of the receiver (see diagram).

Secure the rack mount “ears” to the sides of the receiver using the previously removed recessed head screws.



The supplied rod antennas  are suitable for use in good reception conditions.

Connect the antennas. You have the following options:

You can connect the rod antennas to the rear of the receiver.

You can use the optional AM 2 antenna front mount kit and mount the rod antennas to the front of the receiver (see the instruction manual of the EM 500 receiver avail- able on the ew G3 product page at www.sennheiser.com).

Align the antennas in a V-shape.

When using more than one receiver, 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.
