CAUTION!  
Risks when rack mounting the transmitter!  
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 SR 300 IEM G3 specifications. 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  
individual mains units may accumulate, thereby exceeding the allowable limit value. As a  
remedy, ground the rack via an additional ground connection.

Connecting a remote antenna to the BNC socket and positioning the antenna  
Use a remote antenna when the transmitter position is not the best antenna position for  
optimum transmission. You can choose between two antennas:  
• A 2003 UHF passive directional antenna  
• A 1031 passive omni-directional antenna  
̈ Use a low-attenuation 50-Ω cable to connect the antenna to the transmitter.  
̈ If possible, use a short antenna cable and as little connections as possible, since long  
cables and many connectors lead to an attenuation of the antenna signal.  
̈ Position the antenna in the same room in which the transmission takes place.  
̈ Observe a minimum distance of 1 m between the antenna and metal objects (including  
reinforced concrete walls).  
Connecting the AC 3 antenna combiner to the BNC socket  
To make multi-channel systems, you should use the AC 3 antenna combiner (optional  
accessory). The AC 3 allows you to operate up to four transmitters with a single antenna  
without virtually any intermodulation. In addition, the AC 3 incorporates DC distribution to  
enable simultaneous powering of up to four transmitters via its BNC sockets.

Daisy chaining audio signals  
You can transmit the same audio signal (e.g. the sum of all audio signals) to several diversity  
receivers of a multi-channel system. To do so, you have to daisy chain this audio signal from  
one transmitter to the next via the output sockets LOOP OUT BAL L(I) ¹ or  
LOOP OUT BAL R(II) Ƹ. The audio signal is then transmitted by all transmitters on one of the  
two audio channels L(I) or R(II). The second audio channel allows you to transmit an  
individual audio signal (e.g. the instrument of a musician). Using the balance setting on the  
receiver, you can then adjust the relative levels of the sum of all audio signals and the  
individual audio signal. For this, the transmitter has to be set to stereo mode and the receiver  
to Focus mode.

Using the devices  
Synchronizing transmitters and EK 300 IEM G3 receivers via the  
infra-red interface  
Synchronization allows you to quickly and easily transfer transmitter and receiver settings  
from one device to the other, especially if you want to configure a multi-channel system.  
There are two transfer directions:  
1. Easy Setup Sync: Transfer from the receiver to one or several transmitters  
Once you have performed a frequency preset scan with a receiver, you can use the  
Easy Setup Sync function to transfer unused frequency presets from the receiver to the  
transmitters via the infra-red interface. In order to configure a multi-channel system, you  
use the diversity receiver to transfer the first unused channel from the selected frequency  
bank to the first transmitter and the next unused channel to the second transmitter and  
so on, thus ensuring that all transmitters of a multi-channel system operate on suitable  
frequencies.  
2. Sync: Transfer from a transmitter to a receiver  
Once you have selected and set the desired receiver settings on the transmitter (either  
manually or using the Easy Setup Sync function), you transfer these settings to a receiver.  
This configures the receiver and establishes a transmission link between transmitter and  
receiver.  
Via the “Sync Settings” submenu, you can adjust the receiver parameters listed below and  
activate or deactivate their transfer to an EK 300 IEM G3 receiver.
