™ 3 Noise reduction with HiDyn plus Progress you can hear: ™ This receiver is equipped with HiDyn plus , the Sennheiser noise reduction system that reduces RF interference. It increases the signal-to-noise ratio in wireless audio transmission to up to 110 dB. The 96 dB dynamic range of a CD is thus considerably surpassed. ™ HiDyn plus is a wideband compander system which compresses the AF level on the transmitter side in a ratio of 2:1 (related to dB), and expands it in exactly the same way on t

AF-signal AF-signal receiver 1 electronic switching receiver 2 from one signal to another 4 Diversity reception The EM 3532 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”

5 Assembly and mounting Use as a stand-alone receiver When using the EM 3532 as a stand-alone receiver, it is easiest to use the supplied telescopic antennæ. They 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. The best reception quality, however, is obtained by using remote antennæ (see chapter 6). To ensure th

Mounting the receiver into a rack With the two supplied rack mount “ears”, the receiver can be mounted into a 19” rack (1 U). The rack mount “ears” are screwed to the receiver on the left and right . Note If you wish to connect the antennæ to the front side, you must pull the cables of the GA 3030-AM antenna mount through the holes on the rack mount “ears” before mouting the “ears” . The GA 3030-AM antenna mount (accessory, see chapter 28) allows the antennæ to be connected to the front of the

6 Connection and mounting of remote antennæ If the receiver position is not the best antenna position for optimum reception, you can use remote antennæ and antenna boosters. These are available as accessories. The best reception quality is obtained with the Sennheiser A12 AD-UHF active antenna. Antenna and receiver can be connected with RG 58 co-axial cable. Ready made up antenna cables from Sennheiser are available as accessories with lengths of 1 m, 5 m and 10 m (see chapter 28). To supply t

7 Selecting the mains voltage Before you plug the mains connector into the mains, please check first of all that the receiver is set to the correct mains voltage! You can change the mains voltage by removing the fuse holder with the inserted fuse , turning it through 180° and inserting it again . The set voltage can be seen at the top of the fuse holder. Mains connection Insert the supplied mains cable into socket on the receiver and pass the cable through the cable grip . Because of th

8 Putting the EM 3532 into operation The receivers are switched on separately with the ON / OFF switches . The respective display panel is now lit up to show that the receiver is switched on, and the standard display is shown (see chapter 11). The display “MUTE” (see chapter 15) lights up, and the RF field strength is indicated. If a suitable transmitter is already operating on this frequency, the display “MUTE” is initially lit up for about two seconds. Then the deviation is indicated (m

15 Squelch (Muting) The EM 3532 receiver is equipped with an adjustable squelch which eliminates annoying noise when the transmitters are switched on and off. It also suppresses sudden noise when a transmitter leaves the reception area and there is no longer sufficient transmitter power received by the receiver. The adjustment of the squelch is via the “SQUELCH” menu. The adjustment range is between 0 and 134 (on the display), which corresponds to 0 to up to 100 μV. When the squelch is active, t
