The freePORT systems

Designed for different areas of application, the freePORT systems are

available in three variants.

yPresentation Set:

This system is ideal for presentation applications. The unobtrusive

ME 2 clip-on microphone is virtually invisible.

yInstrument Set:

This system is for connecting musical instruments (e.g. guitar) which

have a ¼” (6.3 mm) jack socket directly to the bodypack transmitter.

yVocal Set:

This system is ideal for vocal and speech applications.

Transmitters and receivers of the freePORT systems have four factory-

preset frequencies for direct channel selection – ready for immediate

use after switch-on.

The freePORT systems are available in three UHF frequency ranges:

yFrequency range A: 719 to 721 MHz

yFrequency range B: 691 to 693 MHz

yFrequency range C: 742.5 to 744.5 MHz

yFrequency range E: 863 to 865 MHz

Notes:

Use of A, B and C frequency ranges must be licensed. Most EU

countries do not require licensing for use of frequency range E.

Frequency range B (691 to 693 MHz) is intended for use solely in

the USA and Canada.

Please be legal and observe the country-specific regulations of the

licensing authorities. Sennheiser are not responsible if you operate

illegally.

To avoid interfering with other users, the transmitter should be

switched off when not in use.

Features of the freePORT systems:

yUp to four transmission links per frequency range which can be

operated simultaneously

yReliable transmission technology

yDiversity technology for minimizing dropouts in the reception

yAdjustable squelch for eliminating RF interference

yRugged housings

yCrystal-clear reception due to dynamic processor

Connecting the receiver

왘Insert the DC connector on the mains cable into the DC socket  and

connect it to the mains. The green LED for operation indication

(POWER) lights up and the receiver is ready for operation.

왘To deactivate the receiver, remove the mains plug from the mains

outlet.

Aligning the antennas

왘Set up the antennas and align them upwards in a V-shape.

The LEDs Aand Bindicate which diversity section (i.e. which

antenna) is active.

Connecting the amplifier/mixing console

왘Connect the amplifier/mixing console to the XLR-3M socket or

the ¼” (6.3 mm) jack socket .

왘Use the GAIN control  to adapt the level of the audio output to the

input of the amplifier or mixing console. The adjusted audio output

level is common for both sockets. If the level is adjusted too high,

the audio signal will be distorted. If, on the other hand, the level is

adjusted too low, this will result in an audio signal with high

background noise.

Selecting and changing a channel

You can change the channel on the receiver during running operation.

The receiver then immediately receives on the new channel.

왘Use a small screwdriver to set the channel selector switch to the

desired channel. You can switch between four different channels

(“Selecting a channel”).

SK 2 bodypack transmitter

Inserting/replacing the battery

We recommend powering the bodypack transmitter by a 9 V PP3

alkaline battery (IEC 6 LR 61). If powered by a rechargeable 9 V battery,

the operating time will be drastically reduced.

왘Open the battery compartment by first sliding the battery

compartment cover in the direction of the arrow. Then flip the

battery compartment cover open.

왘Insert the battery as shown. Please observe correct polarity when

inserting the battery.

왘Close the battery compartment.

Note:

When the red LED goes off during operation, you must replace

the battery as soon as possible.

Connecting the microphone/instrument cable

The audio input is designed for the connection of both the ME 2 clip-on

microphone and instruments (e.g. guitars).

왘Connect the 3.5 mm jack plug from the microphone/instrument

cable to the 3.5 mm jack socket 쐋.

왘Check the setting of the MIC/INST slide switch which allows you

to switch between microphone and instrument operation. If

necessary, readjust the setting.

왘Use the GAIN control  to adjust the transmitter sensitivity so that

the receiver receives a good audio signal (no distortion and no

background noise).

Attaching and positioning the microphone

Use the microphone clip to attach the ME 2 clip-on microphone to

clothing (e.g. tie, lapel). Conduct the microphone cable so that noise due

to friction is avoided and make sure that the antenna and the cable do

not cross. The omni-directional microphone picks up sound equally from

all directions. However, it should be attached as close as possible to the

sound source.

Attaching the bodypack transmitter to clothing

왘Use the supplied belt clip to attach the bodypack transmitter to

clothing. Make sure that the antenna is at least 1 cm away from the

body and is not kinked.

Switching the bodypack transmitter on/off

왘Press the ON/OFF button to switch the bodypack transmitter on

or off. If the bodypack transmitter is switched on, the red LED 

lights up.

Note:

Remove the battery when the transmitter will not be used for

extended periods of time.

Selecting and changing a channel

왘Switch off the transmitter before you change the channel.

왘Use a small screwdriver to set the channel selector switch to the

desired channel. You can switch between four different channels.

When you switch on the bodypack transmitter again, it will transmit

on the new channel (“Selecting a channel”).

SKM 3 radio microphone

Note:

The microphone head of the radio microphone cannot be changed.

Inserting/replacing the battery

We recommend powering the radio microphone by a 9 V PP3 alkaline

battery (IEC 6 LR 61). If powered by a rechargeable 9 V battery, the

operating time will be drastically reduced.

왘Turn the locking ring of the battery compartment in the direction

of the arrow.

왘Pull the body of the radio microphone 쐋in the direction of the

arrow as far as it will go.

왘Insert the battery as shown. Please observe correct polarity when

inserting the battery.

왘Close and lock the radio microphone.

Note:

When the red LED goes off during operation, you must replace

the battery as soon as possible.

Sensitivity of the radio microphone

You can vary the bass reproduction by increasing/decreasing the

talking distance.

Setting up the system

Before starting transmission, do a soundcheck and set up the system as

follows:

Setting up the reception

The receiver’s four LEDs (RF LEVEL) 쐋indicate the level of the received

RF signal. With the transmitter, walk up and down the transmission

area and check if the received RF signal is sufficient everywhere.

Reception is good if all four LEDs light up. Please observe the following:

yTransmission range depends to a large extent on location and can be

up to 100 m. Observe a minimum distance of 3 m between

transmitter and receiver. There should be a “free line of sight”

between transmitting and receiving antennas.

yDo not operate the system close to metal objects such as cross

members or reinforced-concrete walls. Computers or mobile phones

in direct proximity to the antenna will interfere with the reception.

yEach transmitter requires a receiver. When using several trans-

mission links simultaneously, make sure that all transmission links

operate on different channels.
