Danger of hearing damage due to high volumes
This is a professional receiver. Commercial use is subject to the rules and regulations of the
trade association responsible. Sennheiser, as the manufacturer, is therefore obliged to
expressly point out possible health risks arising from use.
This receiver is capable of producing sound pressure exceeding 85 dB(A). 85 dB(A) is the
sound pressure corresponding to the maximum permissible volume which is by law (in some
countries) allowed to affect your hearing for the duration of a working day. It is used as a
basis according to the specifications of industrial medicine. Higher volumes or longer dura-
tions can damage your hearing. At higher volumes, the duration must be shortened in order
to prevent hearing damage. The following are sure signs that you have been subjected to
excessive noise for too long a time:
• You can hear ringing or whistling sounds in your ears.
• You have the impression (even for a short time only) that you can no longer hear high
notes.
Intended use
Intended use of the EM 2000 receiver includes:
• having read these instructions, especially the chapter “Important safety instructions”,
• using the device within the operating conditions and limitations described in this instruc-
tion manual.
“Improper use” means using the device other than as described in these instructions, or
under operating conditions which differ from those described herein.

Putting the receiver into operation
Putting the receiver into operation
Preparing the receiver for use
Setting up the receiver on a flat surface
Fitting the device feet
Do not fit the device feet when mounting the receiver into a 19” rack.
̈ 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.
̈ Place the receiver on a flat, horizontal surface. Please note that the device feet can leave
stains on delicate surfaces.
Mounting the receiver into a 19” rack
CAUTION!
Risks when rack mounting the receiver!
When installing the device in a closed or multi-rack assembly, please consider that, during
operation, the ambient temperature, the mechanical loading and the electrical potentials will
be different from those of devices which are not mounted into a rack.
̈
Make sure that the ambient temperature within the rack does not exceed the permissible
temperature limit specified in the specifications.
̈
̈
̈
Ensure sufficient ventilation; if necessary, provide additional ventilation.
Make sure that the mechanical loading of the rack is even.
When connecting to the power supply, observe the information indicated on the type
plate. Avoid circuit overloading. If necessary, provide overcurrent protection.
̈
When rack mounting, please note that intrinsically harmless leakage currents of the indi-
vidual mains units may accumulate, thereby exceeding the allowable limit value. As a
remedy, ground the rack via an additional ground connection.
̈ Slide the receiver into the 19” rack.

Connecting remote antennas (optional accessories)
Danger of damage to the antennas
To supply an active direction antenna (e.g. A 3700 for the UHF range) or an antenna booster
(e.g. AB 3700), a direct voltage (which cannot be switched off) is output via the antenna
sockets of the receiver. If you use antennas from other manufacturers, take into account that
these must be installed with direct voltage decoupling. The output voltage supply is short
circuit-proof, but an active antenna connected to this supply increases the current consump-
tion of the overall device.
CAUTION!
CAUTION!
Danger of short-circuit due to uninsulated antennas!
A 11 V DC voltage is applied to the antennas – even when you switch the receiver off! If unin-
sulated antennas come into contact with objects which conduct electricity, this voltage can
produce sparking and audio interference.
̈ Either use insulated antennas or
̈ always mount uninsulated antennas so that they cannot come into contact with objects
which conduct electricity.
Positioning the remote antennas
̈ Position antennas in the same room in which the transmission takes place.
̈ Keep the distance between the receiving antennas as large as possible.
̈ There should be a “free line of sight” between transmitter and receiving antennas.

The squelch eliminates annoying noise when the transmitter is switched off or when there is
no longer sufficient transmitter power received by the receiver.
CAUTION!
Danger of hearing damage and material damage!
If you switch the squelch off or adjust the squelch threshold to a very low value, loud hissing
noise can occur in the receiver. The hissing noise can be loud enough to cause hearing damage
or overload the loudspeakers of your system!
̈ Always make sure that the squelch is switched on.
̈ Before adjusting the squelch threshold, set the volume of the headphone output
̈ Never change the squelch threshold during a live transmission.
̈ Adjust the squelch threshold – with the transmitter switched off – to the lowest possible
setting that suppresses hissing noise.
Adjustment range: 5 to 25 dBμV, adjustable in 2-dB steps, can be switched off.
If the squelch threshold is adjusted too high, the transmission range will be
reduced.
The squelch should only be switched off for servicing purposes. You can switch the squelch
off by turning the jog dial at the 5 dB setting to the left and keeping it in this position for
3 seconds. The dotted lines go off and the audio level display “AF” shows full deflection.

Synchronizing a transmitter with the receiver
Synchronizing a transmitter with the receiver
When synchronizing a transmitter with a receiver, please observe the following:
̈ Only use a transmitter and a receiver from the same frequency range (see the type plate
on the transmitter and the receiver).
̈ Make sure that the desired frequencies are listed in the enclosed frequency information
sheet.
̈ Make sure that the desired frequencies are approved and legal in your country and, if
necessary, apply for an operating license.
Synchronizing a transmitter with the receiver – individual operation
Upon delivery, transmitter and receiver are synchronized with each other. However, if you
cannot establish a transmission link between transmitter and receiver, you have to synchro-
nize the channels of the devices:
̈ With the receiver, perform a frequency preset scan to scan the frequency banks for
The receiving frequency of the channel must be approved and legal in your country
(see above).
̈
This establishes a transmission link between the transmitter and the receiver.
Alternatively, you can set the channel on the transmitter manually:
̈ Make sure that you set the transmitter to the same frequency bank and the same channel
as the receiver.
For information on the setting options of the transmitter, refer to the instruction manual
of the transmitter.
Synchronizing transmitters with receivers – multi-channel operation
Network operation In multi-channel operation, the receivers are remote controlled via a PC running the “Wireless
Systems Manager” (WSM) software.
