Connecting FM systems for persons with impaired hearing

You can connect an FM transmitter of an FM system of any manufacturer to each of the two line outputs (LINE OUT) .

The FM transmitter transmits the signals of one or several speakers and, if connected, an audio device to the FM receiver of the hearing impaired. As a result, the speaker doesn’t have to wear several transmitters and microphones but only the transmitter and the microphone of the Soundfield System. In addition, the use of the Soundfield System ensures excellent sound quality.

EMP 2015 with two FM systems

For connecting an FM transmitter, you require a connecting cable fitted with an RCA plug and a 3.5 mm jack plug. (Some FM transmitters are fitted with a 2.5 mm jack socket.)

￿ Connect the RCA plug of the connecting cable to one of the two RCA sockets (LINE OUT) at the rear of the EMP 2015.

￿Connect the 3.5 mm jack plug of the connecting cable to the line input of the FM transmitter.

Adjusting the output level for FM transmitters

All standard FM transmitters are fitted with a line or audio input which should be used for connecting the transmitter. In general, the line output level control (LINE OUT) on the EMP 2015 should be turned clockwise as far as possible.

Testing the FM system

Before you use an FM system for the first time, connect it to the Soundfield System as described above and test it via monitoring headphones to ensure problem-free operation.

If the speaker’s voice sounds distorted, reduce the line output level by turning control counterclockwise.
