This product is capable of producing sound pressure exceeding
85 dB(A). 85 dB(A) is the sound pressure corresponding to the
maximum permissible volume which is by law (in some countries)
allowed to affect your hearing for the duration of a working day. It is
used as a basis according to the specifications of industrial medicine.
Higher volumes or longer durations can damage your hearing. At higher
volumes, the duration must be shortened in order to prevent hearing
damage. The following are sure signs that you have been subjected to
excessive noise for too long a time:
­ You can hear ringing or whistling sounds in your ears.
­ You have the impression (even for a short time only) that you can no
longer hear high notes.

The EK 2000 diversity receiver
The frequency bank system
The receiver is available in 5 UHF frequency ranges with up to
3,000 receiving frequencies per frequency range:
Each frequency range (Aw­Dw, Gw) offers 26 frequency banks with up to
64 channels each:
Each of the channels in the frequency banks "1" to "20" has been factory-
preset to a fixed receiving frequency (frequency preset). The factory-
preset frequencies within one frequency bank are intermodulation-free.
These frequencies cannot be changed.
For an overview of the frequency presets, please refer to the supplied
frequency information sheet. Updated versions of the frequency informa-
tion sheet can be downloaded from the EK 2000 product page on our
website at www.sennheiser.com.
The frequency banks "U1" to "U6" allow you to freely select and store
receiving frequencies. It might be that these receiving frequencies are not
intermodulation-free (see page 30).
