SENNHEISER

RADIO MICROPHONE SYSTEM

This system has been purchased by the trust for the benefit of the local community in

Elmbridge and is available on loan for a modest fee to cover running costs and which is

substantially lower than commercial rental charges.

General care

Please look after them. There is no funding available to replace them and any damage

occurring may deprive the next user of the equipment of its full benefit.

We will charge you for any loss or damage to the system. This will be taken from your

deposit and the balance returned to you. Any further costs will be invoiced to you.

INSURANCE

The user is responsible for insuring the system for a replacement value of £10,000

Batteries

You will need to provide your own (AA) batteries. Only use alkaline cells. At the end of the

loan period, please insure that all batteries are removed from the transmitters and that a

full set is returned with the equipment.

Cleaning

Before returning the equipment please remove all tape, make up and adhesive residues.

Do not use toilet, kitchen or other water based cleaning products. Do not use anything that

you would not use on a child’s skin. Isopropyl alcohol (isopropanol) is usually fairly good

and can be obtained from good chemists, probably in the form of sterilizing pads.

You will be charged for any cleaning required on the return of the equipment.

Terms and conditions

The R C Sherriff Trust reserves the right to decline to allow individuals or groups use of the

equipment without reason.

We only have limited resources. The R C Sherriff Trust does not accept any liability if for

any reason the system is not available or fully functional for a booking.

Minor adjustments to booking periods may be required to allow other users to have the

benefit of the systems as well.

The R C Sherriff Trust gives no guarantee of suitability for a particular use, or fitness for

purpose.

R C Sherriff Trust Sennheiser Radio Microphone System

This radio mic system consists of eight channels of UHF radio microphone set up to work

together both consistently and legally. It is packaged as two four-channel systems, which

can be used either together or separately.

The Yellow System can be used either with bodypack transmitters connected to personal

mics or with handheld transmitters.

The Blue System can only be used with bodypack transmitters but has a choice of

personal (tie clip) mics or “Madonna-style” headset mics.

The system has been preset to work in most normal situations. The frequencies chosen

are licensed for use by JFMG for the Government. It is unlikely that you will be able to use

other UHF frequency equipment at the same time. However, these systems can be used

together with the R C Sherriff Trust Trantec radio mic system.

Seasoned users should just be able to “plug and play”. However, the following pages

include some practical guidelines for this particular set of equipment.

A manufacturer’s manual is also included with the systems.

This consists of the Yellow System 4-channel receiver rack plus two aluminium briefcases

containing:

USER GUIDE

The radio mics have been preset to work in most normal situations. The frequencies are

set so that all eight systems will work together consistently and legally.

Step 1: Set up the receivers

Place the receiver rack(s) in a good location for positioning the receiver aerials correctly.

There are multipurpose mic arms for mounting the aerials, however ordinary mic stands

with a 3/8” thread may be used. Each system uses two aerials.

The receiver aerials should:

- have a clear line of sight to the performers (i.e. above head height)

- be mounted vertically pointing towards the performers

- be mounted at least 30cm from any other metal

- be a minimum of 5 metres from the performers.

- be between 0.5 metre and 1metre apart and kept in pairs

•If the aerials are mounted overhead, a secondary means of support must be

used for safety reasons.

•Plug in the aerial cables to the sockets on the back of the receiver rack and

to the aerials

It is important that the aerial cables are not put under tension, or placed

where they could be crushed.

•Plug audio outputs (3pin XLR connectors) into audio mixer, having first

ensured that the phantom power (if any) is switched off.

•Plug the rack(s) into mains

•The receivers are preset and should not need adjustment for normal use.

With all the transmitters turned off see if the receivers are showing any RF or AF signal

on their meters. If there is a signal, it means that someone else is already using that

transmitter channel in the local area and so it is not available for use.

Step 2: Set up the transmitters

The transmitters are preset, ready for use in most normal situations. Only one transmitter

can be used on each frequency channel at the same time.

Install 2 AA alkaline cells into the battery compartment. Do not use any other type of

battery.

Handheld

- unscrew the display section

- slide back the display section as far as it will go

- open the battery compartment cover

- insert the two batteries, being careful to observe the

correct polarity (shown in the compartment)

- close the battery compartment cover

- push the battery compartment back into the body of the

radio microphone

- screw the display section finger tight

Bodypack

- press the two unlocking buttons on the sides of the

transmitter

- open the battery compartment

- insert the two batteries, being careful to observe the

correct polarity (shown in the compartment)

- close the battery compartment.

- the battery compartment closes with an audible click

- when the battery compartment is open be careful not to

touch any of the buttons

April 09 V8

Plug the 3.5mm jack plug from the microphone into the body pack. Lock the jack plug by

lightly tightening the locking ring. This can be a bit fiddly.

The ME-2 personal microphone can be clipped onto clothing. It has an omni-directional

pick-up pattern and so picks up sound equally from all directions. Attach it as close as

practical to the sound source, allowing for the movement of the wearers head. Mounting

on a high neckline or under the chin is not recommended and will result a muffled sound.

The ME-3 headset mic is a directional microphone. There is a small dot on the microphone

head, which should be pointed towards the mouth. To prevent “popping”, adjust the mic so

that it is slightly to one side of the nose and mouth. Adjust the fabric strap so the headset

does not slip.

Turning the transmitters on and off

To turn the handheld transmitters on, rotate the

protective cap at the base as required and press

the ON/OFF button. The red LED lights up.

To turn off, press the ON/OFF button until “OFF”

appears in the display. The red LED goes off.

Beware accidental operation of the mute switch or

changing any other settings

To turn the bodypack transmitters on, press the

two unlocking buttons on the sides of the transmitter.

Open the battery compartment and press the ON/OFF

button. The red LED lights up.

To turn off, press the ON/OFF button until “OFF” appears

in the display. The red LED goes off.

The battery compartment closes with an audible click

When the battery compartment is open, be careful not to

touch any other buttons.

Mute switches

All transmitters have a MUTE switch that noiselessly mutes the transmitter’s audio signal

without turning the transmitter off. This is a much more reliable method of letting the

wearer mute their audio for presentations. This is not recommended for theatrical

productions. Too often, the performer forgets to turn their audio back on and ruin their own

performance.

On the handheld transmitter, rotate the protective cap at the base of the microphone to

access the mute button.

Operational notes -- Handhelds

These are suitable for both speech and singing and should be positioned within a few

inches of the mouth. Rotate the protective cap at the base of the microphone to avoid

accidental operation of any of the buttons.

Operational notes -- Bodypacks

Always use the supplied tie-on pouches: transmitters often seem to fall off belts,

waistbands and out of pockets. This is the primary cause of damage during productions.

Battery life

The red LED (LOW BAT/ON) provides information on the current operating state of the

transmitter.

Red LED lit up: The transmitter is switched on and the capacity of the batteries is

sufficient

Red LED flashing: The batteries are going flat and should be changed

In addition, the 4-step battery status indicator on the display panel provides detailed

information on the remaining battery capacity.

3 segments: capacity approx 100%

2 segments: capacity approx 70%

1 segment: capacity approx 30%

Battery icon flashing LOW BATT

Only use AA alkaline batteries. A fresh pair should last for around 8 hours.

Technical detail

Frequency Plan

This system uses the whole of channel 69 using spot frequencies licensed by JFMG. This

is the only frequency plan that can be used. It is unlikely that you will be able to use other

UHF frequency equipment at the same time unless they are on channel 67 or lower and

even then, you should confirm this with the manufacturer of the additional equipment.

However, they are compatible with the R C Sherriff Trust Trantec radio mic system, which

uses the VHF band.
