General Description
The EK 3052-U is a miniature stereo receiver designed for receiving signals trans-
mitted by the SR 3054-U and SR 3056-U transmitters. Its small size allows com-
plete freedom of movement. 16 switchable UHF receiving frequencies ensure high
flexiblil ity and optimum reception.

EK 3052-U and EK 3053-U receivers
The transmitters of the system are optimally matched by the EK 3052-U and
EK 3053-U stereo pocket receivers. 16 switchable UHF receiving frequencies within a
switching bandwidth of 24 MHz max. ensure high flexibility and optimum reception.
Both receivers can be used in multi-channel systems. The EK 3052-U can be powered
by either the B 2013 battery box (supplied) or the BA 2013 accupack. The B 2013
battery box takes two 1.5 V AA size cells.
The BA 2013 accupack is charged from its associated L 2013 charger. During the
charging process, the BA 2013 accupack can remain attached to the receiver. For
powering the EK 3053-U, you can either use a 9 V PP3 battery (IEC 6 LR 61) or a
rechargeable 9 V accupack. The headphone output on the receivers is designed as a
3.5 mm stereo jack socket. If you use the receivers as part of the monitoring system,
please connect earphones. If the receivers are used for other applications, you can
also connect any Sennheiser stereo headphones.
To switch the EK 3052-U on, set the on/off switch on the receiver to “ON”. The
EK 3053-U has a volume control with an integral on/off switch. (The receiver is
switched off by turning the volume control fully anti-clockwise until it clicks).
Besides the volumes control, both receivers also feature a balance control and a
squelch control. A switchable limiter in the receivers prevents peak volume levels
that might cause hearing damage.
The EK 3053-U additionally features a stereo/FOCUS selector switch. During stereo
operation, the left-right signals are available as usual (transmitter in stereo mode).
During FOCUS operation, the left-right signals are mixed and are available as a mono
signal in both headphone channels (transmitter in stereo mode). Please note: In
FOCUS mode, the balance control serves to adjust the relative levels of the two
separate channels in the mixed mono signal. (For example: Transmit vocals on the
left and backing music on the right. In FOCUS mode, you listen to a mono signal with
complete personal control of the balance between vocals and backing).
Both receivers have an LED for operation and battery status indication. A flashing
LED indicates that the battery is going flat. An additional LED on the EK 3053-U indi-
cates that an RF signal is being received. With the supplied clip, the receivers can be
attached to the belt.
