The use of advanced PLL and microprocessor technology combined with the HDX noise reduction system and the latest amplifier technolgy ensure extremely reliable transmission and excellent sound quality. An extensive range of accessories enable the Soundfield System to be adapted to a wide ...

Never open electronic devices! This must only be done by authorized personnel and is all the more important for devices connected to AC outlets. If devices are opened by customers in breach of this instruction, the warranty becomes null and void. Always disconnect the devices from the mains by removing the plug when you wish to change connections or move the devices to a different place. Keep the devices away from central heati ...

          5 Components of the Soundfield System EMP 2015 receiver/amplifier combination The heart of the Soundfield System is the EMP 2015 receiver with an integrated power amplifier to which you can connect additional audio and sound recording devices as well as FM systems for persons with impaired hearing.  ON / STAND BY operating switch Volume control for external audio devices (LINE IN) Volume control for wireless microphon ...

Setting up the EMP 2015 The EMP 2015 is equipped with a temperature-controlled ventilation system. To ensure sufficient ventilation, please make sure that the ventilation apertures at the side panels are not covered. An integrated temperature monitoring device protects the EMP 2015 against overheating by turning it off if the temperature rises above a certain value. After sufficient cooling ...

Screw the antenna  onto the antenna socket (M3 connection). Connecting the microphone
Connect the 3.5 mm jack plug " from the microphone cable to the jack socket (MIC/LINE) .
Lock the jack plug by screwing down the locking ring $. Attaching the transmitter to clothing The SK 500 transmitter is best attached to e.g. the belt with clip %. The clip is detachable so that you can also attach the transmitter with t ...

The basic system consists of the EMP 2015 receiver/amplifier combination, the SK 500 bodypack transmitter, a microphone and loudspeakers: Installing the loudspeakers The Soundfield System should generate a uniform sound field in the entire room. The speaker’s voice should not be reproduced louder than normal but should be heard at the same level everywhere in the room. To generate a uniform sound field, you require at least ...

The EMP 2015 has four independent power amplifiers. Therefore, you can connect up to eight loudspeakers to the EMP 2015 Soundfield System. When installing a system with up to eight loudspeakers, make sure that the individual loudspeakers have an impedance from 4 to 8 ohms. The peak pulse power must be 30 W minimum. When using more than one loudspeaker, make sure that the individual loudspeakers have the same polarity (+/– ...

Turning the amplifier on/off The amplifier is fitted with both a mains switch  and an operating switch . Via the mains switch, the amplifier can be disconnected from the mains (position “0”). The mains switch can always remain set to “I”.
When putting the system into operation, turn the amplifer on by setting the mains switch  to “I”. The mains switch can then remain set to “I”.

The red LED  and the 8-segment bargraph on the display provide information on the battery status. Bargraph: The bargraph indicates the (remaining) battery capacity in 3 steps: 8 segments: the full battery capacity is available, 4 segments: the battery capacity is sufficient, 1 segment: the battery is going flat, immediately replace the battery. Note: When turning on the transmitter with a partially used battery, it is poss ...

You can connect two mono or two stereo audio devices to the amplifier.
Connect the RCA plugs of the sound recording devices to the RCA sockets (LINE IN)  at the rear of the EMP 2015. For correct connection of the different audio devices, please refer to the diagrams at the left. Note: Stereo (left-right) signals are mixed in the amplifier and are then available as a mono signal.
If possible, set stereo audio ...

Connecting FM systems for persons with impaired hearing You can connect an FM transmitter of an FM system of any manufacturer to each of the two line outputs (LINE OUT) . The FM transmitter transmits the signals of one or several speakers and, if connected, an audio device to the FM receiver of the hearing impaired. As a result, the speaker doesn’t have to wear several transmitters and microphones but only the transmi ...

Installing a system with up to eight loudspeakers By connecting two loudspeakers to each loudspeaker output, you can connect up to eight loudspeakers to the Soundfield System: The Soundfield System should generate a uniform sound field in the entire room. Therefore, install the loudspeakers so that two loudspeakers are not exactly facing each other. This can lead to cancellations, resulting in a non- uniform sound field. ...

When installing a system with up to eight loudspeakers, make sure that the individual loudspeakers have an impedance from 4 to 8 ohms. The peak pulse power must be 30 W minimum. When using more than one loudspeaker, make sure that the individual loudspeakers have the same polarity (+/–). Danger of short circuit! Never connect the loudspeaker cables to the ground and never allow the cables to come into contact with another ...

You can connect sound recording devices (e.g. tape recorder, dictating machine, etc.) to the RCA sockets (LINE OUT)  of the amplifer. The connected device records the same signal that can be heard in the room through the loudspeakers. If possible, connect the sound recording device via its line input (LINE IN, REC. IN, AUX IN, TB IN or similar).
Connect the RCA plugs of the sound recording devices to the RCA s ...

two additional receivers Installing a system including several transmitters (team teaching) With one Soundfield System, up to three speakers can speak simultaneously in the same room. Transmitter 1 is directly received by the receiver section of the EMP 2015. Transmitters 2 and 3 require an additional receiver respectively. The receivers can be connected to the RCA sockets (LINE IN)  of the EMP 2015. The signals o ...
