Swapping Sennheiser Handheld - Best Practices

Updated on

This article will provide a few best practices on swapping a Sennheiser handheld transmitter at any Life.Church locations. 

Swap Capsules

When your new transmitter arrives, it will have a capsule on it already. We use a few different capsules at Life.Church. Since different models sound different, we want to make sure that the capsule stays with the location and seat, not the base.

Grip the original mic by using one hand on the capsule and one hand the body.

Twist the capsule, unscrewing it where the capsule meets the base until it disconnects like shown below.

Repeat the process with the replacement microphone so that the ORIGINAL capsule stays at the location on the REPLACEMENT microphone base.

     

Match sensitivity

Please match the sensitivity of the replacement transmitter to the original transmitter. Please refer to the article Adjusting Handheld Sensitivity for a step by step on where to find and adjust this setting.

       

Sync transmitter to the corresponding receiver.

Last step before a test! Please refer to the article Syncing A Sennheiser Wireless Device for a step by step on how to sync the transmitter to the receiver.

Test it!

Walk out to front of house and unmute the channel that this mic is patched to. If we hear audio, we are all set!
