Sometimes we need to replace, or move a wireless microphone/beltpack and "sync" it to an existing receiver. This article will cover syncing a Sennheiser wireless device.
Always change the microphone or beltpack to match the receiver (in the rack) when syncing. Never change the frequency on any receiver unless guided by a Central Tech Team member. This can cause signal interference, and create hurdles while troubleshooting in the future.
When Syncing, make sure all other handhelds and belt packs are turned off to ensure that you are syncing the correct devices.
1. Power on handheld microphone and the mic receiver that it will be synced to
To power on the microphone, press the little red button on the bottom, right next to the antenna fin.
The mic receiver should power on with LynTec. If the receiver does not turn on with LynTec, press the black power button on the front face of the receiver.
2. Press the sync button and hold the mic screen up to the black portion of the receiver screen, on the left side
3. Wait for check mark to pop up on the receiver screen
Mic do not always sync up on the first attempt. If the mic does not sync on the first try, simply try again. If after 3 attempts the mic will not sync up, click HERE
4. Verify the mic and receiver are synced
Look at the frequency displayed on the receiver and the mic. If they match, they are synced, and you should see the AF meter jump on the left side of the receiver screen when you talk into the mic
1. Power on the beltpack and the mic receiver that it will be synced to
To power on the beltpack, open the door on the front of the beltpack and hold the ON/OFF button until the screen lights up.
The mic receiver should power on with LynTec. If the receiver does not turn on with LynTec, press the black power button on the front face of the receiver.
2. Open the beltpack door
3. Hit the sync button on the receiver, and hold the beltpack up to the black portion of the receiver screen.
4. Wait for a check mark to display on receiver screen
Rarely, the mic will sync to the receiver, yet you may not see a check mark pop up next to the word "SYNC". If you see the RF Meter fill up while syncing, check that the mic in your hand matches the receiver and talk into it to verify that they are actually synced.
5. Verify the mic and receiver are synced
Look at the frequency displayed on the receiver and the mic. If they match, they are synced, and you should see the AF meter jump on the left side of the receiver screen when you talk into the mic
To avoid confusion, it is worth noting that when working with IEM, the roles of belt packs and rack units are reversed. Since the IEM beltpack is receiving audio from the rack unit, the belt pack is the receiver and the rack unit is the transmitter.
Even though the roles are reversed, still refrain from changing the rack unit frequency. Doing so can cause un intended audio interference and hurdles during future troubleshooting.
1. Power on the beltpack and the IEM transmitter that it will be synced to
To power on the beltpack, turn the volume knob on the top of the beltpack up. When it "clicks" and the screen turns on, the beltpack is powered on.
The IEM transmitter (in the rack) should power on with LynTec. If the receiver does not turn on with LynTec, press the black power button on the front face of the receiver.
2. Open the battery compartment on the IEM beltpack
3. Hit the sync button on the transmitter, and hold the beltpack up to the black portion of the screen. Wait for a check mark to display on transmitter screen.
4. Verify the IEM pack and transmitter are synced
Look at the frequency displayed on the transmitter and the pack. If they match, they are synced, and you should see the AF meter jump on the left hand side of the beltpack screen when sending audio to that in ear mix.
