Preparing the components for use
Mounting the receiver feet To ensure that the receiver cannot slip on the surface on which it is placed, four self-adhesive soft rubber feet are supplied. Ensure that the base of the receiver is clean before mounting the rubber feet. Fix the rubber feet to the base of the receiver by peeling of the safety paper and fitting them as shown in the digram on the left. Attention! Some furniture surfaces have been treated with varnish, polish or synthetics which might cause stains when they come into contact with other synthetics. Despite a thorough testing of the synthetics used by us, we cannot rule out the possibility of staining. Connecting the antennas
The supplied telescopic antennas can be mounted quickly and easily to the rear of the receiver and are suitable for all applications where good reception conditions provided a wireless transmission system is to be used without a large amount of installation work. Connect the telescopic antennas to the BNC sockets and at the rear of the receiver. Pull the telescopic antennas out and align the upwards in a V-shape.
Use remote antennas when the receiver position is not the best antenna position for optimum reception.
Connecting the mains unit The EM 100 G2 is powered via a mains unit. Pass the cable through the cable grip. Insert the DC connector on the mains cable into the DC socket.
Connecting the amplifier/mixing console The EM 100 G2s audio outputs are available as an XLR-3M socket and a (6.3 mm) jack socket , allowing you to simultaneously connect two units (e.g. amplifier, mixing console). The adjusted audio output level is common for both sockets. Connect the amplifier/mixing console to the XLR-3M socket or the (6.3 mm) jack socket. For detailed information on balanced and unbalanced connection, please refer to the section Connector assignment auf Seite 43.

Using the components

Switching the components on/off
The ew 100 G2 transmitters and receivers can only be switched off when the standard display is shown on the display panel. Within the operating menu, the ON/OFF button or the POWER button (EM 100 G2 only) serves as the ESC (cancel) key, i.e you cancel your entry and return to the standard display.

Provided that the pilot tone function is activated on both the transmitter and the receiver, the MUTE display also appears on the receiver display panel. SKP 100 G2 Set the MUTE switch back to the original position to retransmit the audio signal.
Muting the SKM 100 G2 radiomicrophone Turn the protective cap at the bottom of the radiomicrophone so that the MUTE switch becomes accessible. Set the MUTE switch to the position MUTE. The MUTE display appears on the transmitter display panel. Provided that the pilot tone function is activated on both the transmitter and the receiver, the MUTE display also appears on the receiver display panel. Set the MUTE switch back to the original position to retransmit the audio signal.

Activating/deactivating the lock mode
All transmitters and receivers have a lock mode that can be activated or deactivated via the operating menu (see: Activating/deactivating the lock mode on page 35). The lock mode prevents that the transmitter or receiver is accidentally programmed or switched off during operation.
Attaching the components to clothing
Attaching the bodypack receiver/transmitter to clothing The bodypack receiver/transmitter is attached to clothing (e.g. belt, waistband) with the supplied belt clip. The clip is detachable so that you can also attach the bodypack receiver/ transmitter with the antenna pointing downwards. To do so, withdraw the clip from its fixing points and attach it the other way round. The BPP 1 bodypack pouch (available as an accessory) helps to protect the bodypack receiver/transmitter against moisture.

The operating menu

A special feature of the Sennheiser ew 100 G2 series is the similar, intuitive operation. As a result, the units are easy to operate and adjustments to the settings can be made quickly and without looking even in stressful situations, for example on stage or during a live show or presentation.

Storing a setting Press the SET button to store the setting. STORED appears on the display, indicating that the setting has been stored. The display then returns to the previous menu level. With most menus, new settings become effective immediately without having to be stored. An exception are the BANK, CHAN, TUNE and RESET menus of the transmitters and the RESET menu of the receivers. With these menus, new settings only become effective after they have been stored (STORED appears on the display, indicating that the setting has been stored). Exiting the operating menu Select the EXIT menu to exit the operating menu and to return to the standard display. When you have entered the operating menu, the ON/OFF button or the POWER button (EM 100 G2 receiver only) serves as the ESC (cancel) key, i.e. by briefly pressing the ON/OFF or POWER button, you cancel your entry and return to the standard display.

Scanning the channel banks for free channels (receivers only) SCAN
Before putting one or several transmission links into operation, you should scan the selected channel bank for free channels In order to ensure intermodulation-free operation of your system.
Starting the scan and storing the scan result Before starting the scan, switch all transmitters of your system off, since channels used by switched-on transmitters will not be displayed as free channels. Select the SCAN menu. Select START and confirm your selection by pressing the SET button. After the scan is completed, the number of free channels is displayed. Pressing the SET button once more will store the scan result and lock all channels that are used or subject to interference. Releasing locked channels Select the SCAN menu. Select CLEAR and confirm your selection by pressing the SET button. All channels in this channel bank can now be selected again.

Multi-channel operation

For multi-channel operation, only use the free channels in a channel bank. Before putting the transmission links into operation, we recommend performing an auto scan. Select a channel bank on a receiver. Scan this channel bank for free channels. If not enough free channels are available in the selected channel bank, repeat the scan with another channel bank. Apply the scan result to all other transmitters and receivers.
Adjusting the sensitivity (transmitters only) SENSIT
Via the SENSIT menu, you can adjust the modulation level of the transmitters. This changes the transmitters input sensitivity. The input sensitivity is adjusted too high when close talking distances, speakers with loud voices or loud music passages cause overmodulation in the transmission link. In this case, the SK 100 G2s yellow LED (AF PEAK) will light up and the receivers level display for audio signal (AF) will show full deflection (see: Modulation display of the receiving transmitter on page 12). If, on the other hand, the sensitivity is adjusted too low, the transmission link will be undermodulated, which would result in a signal with high background noise. The sensitivity is correctly adjusted when the level display for audio signal AF shows full deflection only during the loudest passages. EM 100 G2 EM 100 G2 Note: For monitoring the adjusted sensitivity, the transmitters level display for audio signal (AF) always indicates the audio level even if the transmitter is muted. EK 100 G2

Recommendations and tips

. for the ME 2 and ME 4 clip-on microphones To reduce level variations to a minimum when the user turns his or her head away from the microphone, attach the microphone as centrally as possible. To protect the microphone against excessive sweat/moisture, avoid direct skin contact. Attach the microphone carefully and conduct the cable so that noise due to friction is avoided. Always use the ME 4 directional microphone with a windshield and direct the microphone towards the sound source (e.g. mouth). for the ME 3 headmic Always use the microphone with a popshield and position the microphone at the corner of the mouth. You can vary the bass reproduction by increasing/decreasing the talking distance to the microphone. Make sure that the sound inlet is directed towards the mouth. The sound inlet is marked with a little dot. for the SK 100 G2 bodypack transmitter Make sure that the antenna and the microphone cable do not cross. The antenna should hang freely and be at least 1 cm away from the body. The antenna must not be in direct contact with the skin. For best results, make sure that the transmitter sensitivity is correctly adjusted. for the SKM 100 G2 radiomicrophone Hold the SKM 100 G2 in the middle of the microphone body. Holding it close to the sound inlet basket will influence the microphones pick-up pattern, holding it at the lower part of the body will reduce the transmitters range. You can vary the bass reproduction by increasing/decreasing the talking distance to the microphone. For best results, make sure that the transmitter sensitivity is correctly adjusted. for the EK 100 G2 bodypack receiver The antenna should hang freely and be at least 1 cm away from the body. The antenna must not be in direct contact with the skin. for optimum reception Transmission range depends to a large extent on location and can vary from about 10 m to about 150 m. There should be a free line of sight between transmitting and receiving antennas. If, with the EM 100 G2 receiver, reception conditions are unfavourable, you should use two remote antennas which are connected via antenna cable. To avoid overmodulating the receiver, observe a minimum distance of 5 m between transmitting and receiving antennas. Observe a minimum distance of 50 cm between receiving antennas and metal objects (such as cross members or reinforced-concrete walls).

Squelch

Pilot tone squelch The transmitter adds a pilot tone to the audio signal. The receiver checks incoming audio signals to see if the pilot tone is present. In the absence of the signal, the receivers audio output will remain muted, even if a strong RF signal is present. This prevents strong interfering signals from causing hissing noise in the receiver when the transmitter is switched off. In order to benefit from this feature, the pilot tone function must be activated on both the transmitter and the receiver. The pilot tone function is factorypreset to ON (= activated). Field strength-dependent squelch Depending on the strength of the received RF signal, the receivers audio output is opened or muted. Via the SQELCH menu of the receiver, the squelch threshold can be adjusted in three steps (LO, MID, HI).

Diversity reception

The EM 100 G2 receiver operates on the true diversity principle: A receiving antenna receives not only the electromagnetic waves which reach it by a direct path, but also the reflections of these waves which are created in the room by walls, windows, ceilings and fittings. When these waves are superimposed, destructive interference occurs, which can also be called field strength gaps. Repositioning the receiving antenna can bring a solution. With mobile transmitters, however (which all radiomicrophones are), the field strength gap will then occur with a different transmitter position. These field strength gaps can only be eliminated with true diversity receivers. In true diversity, instead of one antenna and one receiver there are now two antennas and two receiver sections. The antennas are spatially separated. By means of a comparison circuit, the receiver section with the strongest RF signal is always switched to the common AF output. The risk of the occurrence of field strength gaps in both antennas at the same time is virtually nonexistant. The receiver display panel shows the active diversity section (I or II).
