Transmitter and receiver permit wireless transmission with studio-quality sound. The excellent transmission reliability of the ew 300 IEM G2 system is based on the use of further optimized PLL synthesizer and microprocessor technology, noise reduction system, the pilot tone squelch control (during stereo operation), and the scan function for scanning the channel banks for free channels.
Keep the units away from central heating radiators and electric heaters. Never expose them to direct sunlight. Use the units in dry rooms only. Use a damp cloth for cleaning the units. Do not use any cleansing agents or solvents. Attention! High Volume! This is a professional transmission system.

When the transmitter’s audio input level is excessively high, the level display for audio signal “AF” shows full deflection. When the transmitter is overmodulated frequently or for an extended period of time, the text “PEAK” (backlit in red) flashes in alternation with the standard display. Button backlighting...

EK 300 IEM G2 stereo receiver Inserting and replacing the batteries For powering the EK 300 IEM G2 receiver, two 1.5 V AA size batteries are required. Press the two unlocking buttons and open the battery compartment cover Insert the two batteries as shown in the diagram on the left. Please observe correct polarity when inserting the batteries.
The transmitter can only be switched off when the standard display is shown on the display panel. Within the operating menu, the button serves as the ESC (cancel) key, i.e you cancel your entry and return to the standard display. Switching the receiver on/off...
During FOCUS operation, the rocker button serves to adjust the relative levels of the two separate channels in the mixed mono signal (see “Stereo/FOCUS selection (receiver only)” on page 64). Activating/deactivating the lock mode Transmitter and receiver have a lock mode that can be activated or deactivated via the operating menu (see “Activating/deactivating the lock...
To ensure intuitive operation of both transmitter and receiver, the operating menus have been largely standardized. As a result, adjustments to the settings can be made quickly and “without looking” – even in stressful situations, for example on stage or during a live show or presentation.
Working with the operating menu By way of example of the “Tune” menu, this section describes how to use the operating menu. After switching the unit on, the standard display is shown on the display panel.

“U” (user bank). Tune When you have selected one of the channel banks “1” to “8” and then select the “Tune” menu, the transmitter or receiver automatically switches to channel 01 of the channel bank “U”. In this case, “U.01” briefly appears on the display.
Adjusting the squelch threshold (receiver only) SQELCH The receiver is equipped with a squelch that can be adjusted via the “SQELCH” menu. The squelch eliminates annoying noise when the transmitter is switched off. It also suppresses sudden noise when there is no longer sufficient transmitter power received by the receiver.
ST-FOC Via the “ST-FOC” menu, you can switch between stereo and FOCUS operation. In both operating modes, the SR 300 IEM G2 stereo transmitter has to be set to stereo operation. When the receiver is set to stereo operation, the left-right signals are available as usual.
You can, for example, enter the name of the Name performer for whom the adjustments have been made. The name can be displayed on the standard display and can consist of up to ten characters (transmitter) and up to six characters (receiver) such as: letters (without pronounciation marks), numbers from 0 to 9, special characters e.g.
Via the “Reset” menu, you can load the factory-preset default settings. With the receiver, however, the selected setting for the pilot tone remains Reset unchanged. After the reset, the unit is restarted and the standard display is shown on the display panel. Activating/deactivating the pilot tone evaluation...
LOCK Via the “Lock” menu, you can activate or deactiveate the lock mode. Lock The lock mode icon on the display indicates that the lock mode is activated. To deactivate the lock mode, first press the button. Then press the buttons to select “Lock Off”.

Recommendations and tips ... for the EK 300 IEM G2 receiver The antenna of the EK 300 IEM G2 should hang freely and be at least 1 cm away from the body. The antenna must not be in direct contact with the skin.
2:1 ratio (related to dB) to lift it above the inherent noise floor of the RF link. In the receiver the signal is expanded in an identical and opposite way in a 1:2 ratio to restore the original signal, at the same time reducing the RF noise to below the noise floor of the receiver.
Squelch Pilot tone squelch When the transmitter is set to stereo operation, it adds a 19-kHz pilot tone to the audio signal. The receiver checks incoming audio signals to see if the pilot tone is present. In the absence of the 19-kHz signal, the receiver’s audio output will remain muted, even if a strong RF signal is present.
