Putting the receiver into operation

Connecting the receiver to the mains/disconnecting the receiver from the mains

CAUTION! Damage due to electric current!

If you connect the receiver to an unsuitable power supply, this can cause damage to the device.

￿Use the supplied mains cable to connect the receiver to the mains (100 to 240 V AC, 50 or 60 Hz).

￿Ensure a reliable mains ground connection of the receiver – especially when you are using multi-outlet power strips or extension cables.

The receiver has no mains switch. To connect the receiver to the mains:

￿Connect the supplied mains cable to the 3-pin mains socket D.

￿Plug the mains connector into the wall socket.

To disconnect the receiver from the mains:

￿Pull out the mains connector from the wall socket. All daisy chained signals are interrupted, i.e.:

–the antenna signals at the daisy chain outputs Qand P,

–the booster supply voltage,

–the signals of the external word clock generator.

Connecting the amplifier/mixing console

The receiver has transformer balanced audio outputs.

￿ Connect the amplifier/mixing console to the XLR-3 socket AF out 1 M(left receiver) or to the XLR-3 socket AF out 2 K (right receiver).

￿Via the operating menu of the corresponding receiver, adjust the level of the audio output to the input of the amplifier or mixing console (see “Adjusting the audio output level” on page 31).

Connecting devices with AES3 digital input

The digital balanced XLR-3M audio output G outputs the signals of both receivers in AES3 format.

￿Use a special double-shielded 110 Ω AES3 cable to connect the device

with AES3 digital input to the digital balanced XLR-3M audio output G.

This ensures that the digital data transmission interferes with the RF reception.

Note:

A ready-made AES3 cable from Sennheiser is available as an accessory with a length of 10 m (see “Accessories/spare parts” on page 43).

￿Via the “Clock” menu, select the desired sampling rate (see “Selecting the sampling rate for digitalization” on page 31).
