Selecting a frequency memory – selecting the frequency,
channel number, name (EM 500 only)
씰 With the
/
buttons you can directly switch between the factory-
preset fixed frequency memories (presets). The display starts flashing.
Your selection becomes effective immediately.
씰 Press the SET button to acknowledge your selection. The display stops
flashing. (If the SET button is not pressed, the receiver will store the
new frequency automatically on switch-off).
Note:
You can choose the content of the standard display i.e. whether the
frequency, the channel number or a name is displayed (the latter option
is only possible with the EM 500 receiver) (
“Selecting the content
of the standard display”). The receiver is factory-preset to show the
frequency setting as standard.
Adjusting the sensitvity (transmitters only)
Close talking distances, speakers with loud voices or loud music sequences
may cause overmodulation in the transmission link, resulting in distortion.
In this case, the “
PEAK ” warning of the EM 500’s AF level display (as well as
the SK 500 transmitter’s yellow audio peak indication LED) will light up. 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 has to be adjusted such that the “
PEAK ” warning of the
receiver’s AF level display only lights up during the loudest passages.
The following figures are a guide to the best settings:
Loud music/vocals: –30 / –20 dB
Presentations: –20 / –10 dB
Interviews: –10 / 0 dB

Select the “ SEnSit ” menu by pressing the SET button until “ SEnSit ”
appears on the display; after a short pause the current input sensitivity
setting is displayed.

With the
/
buttons you can now select a different setting. The
sensitivity can be adjusted in 10-dB steps from 0 to –30 dB. The new
setting starts flashing on the display and becomes effective immediately.
씰
Press the SET button to return to the top menu level. The display
then switches back to the standard display.
