Syncing a Sennheiser Wireless Device

Updated on

This article will cover syncing a Sennheiser wireless device, including microphones, headsets, in-ear monitors, and belt packs.

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.

Handheld

1. Turn on the handheld microphone and the mic receiver that will be synced.

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 screen on the mic close to the black portion of the receiver screen, on the left side.

3. Wait for the check mark to appear on the receiver screen.

Mics 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 that 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

Headset

1. Power on the beltpack and the mic receiver that will be synced.

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 battery door to the beltpack.

3. Press the sync button on the receiver, and hold the beltpack close to the black portion of the receiver screen.

4. Wait for a check mark to display on receiver screen

Occasionally, the mic will sync to the receiver and may not show a check mark 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 speak into it to verify that they are truly 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

In Ear Monitor (IEM)

When working with IEM, the functions 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.

In this scenario refrain from changing the rack unit frequency. Doing so can cause unintended 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.

If transmitter (mic or beltpack) does not sync automatically, follow these steps:

Handheld
