Operation: Frequency Considerations
The successful operation of an RF wireless system greatly depends on two things:
1)The frequencies used must avoid interference from competing signals, such as television broadcast.
2)The frequencies used must not interfere with each other. Selected frequencies need to be carefully calculated for sufficient spacing, and to avoid creating disruptive interference known as intermodulation.
Geographic location plays a major role in the performance of your wireless system. The primary source of competition is television broadcast transmission towers. It is likely that one or more television stations will be broadcasting within range of your wireless system, creating sources of interference. In planning your systems’ frequency requirements, it is advisable to determine what frequencies are in use by local television stations. Sennheiser’s website, www.sennheiserUSA.com, has an interactive Frequency Finder which can assist in identifying the local TV stations broadcasting in your area.
Local television stations are not the only source of interference, so having a complete knowledge of your RF environment is an important step in planning your wireless microphone system.
To provide users with additional flexibility to avoid interference, evolution wireless G3 systems are available in three distinct frequency ranges (A, G, B). Each range contains 1,680
All G3 systems include an
Easy Setup / Scan New List:
1.On the receiver, press SET to enter menu. Press up/down buttons to select “Easy Setup”. Press SET and choose “Scan New List.” Press SET to start scan.
2.After the scan is complete, the receiver will recommend the “Bank” with the most “Channels” free. Press SET. Select a Channel using the up/down arrows and press SET to confirm. The receiver will say “STORED.”
3.Tap the POWER button to exit the menu. The new selected frequency will be displayed. You should see little to no RF activity on the meter (meaning, you are on a free channel).
4.Power up the transmitter you wish to pair with the receiver. Locate the transmitter’s infrared (IR) port. On a G3 handheld transmitter, the port is located on the LCD display. On a bodypack transmitter, it is located inside the battery compartment, to the right of the ON/OFF button.
5.For a
6.If the SYNC is successful, you will see a "" on the receiver screen. If you see an “X”, SYNC failed and you should repeat step 5.
7.After a successful SYNC, you should see the same frequency displayed on both the receiver and transmitter.
8.If setting up another system in the same frequency range (A/B/G), you can repeat the process from Step 1. Make sure to choose the same BANK number as you did in step 2 to ensure compatible operation, and a different channel number.
