Brief description

With the AC 3000 8-to-1 active transmitter combiner, the

signals of up to eight SR3054 transmitters or up to four

SR 3056 twin transmitters can be combined onto a single

antenna (A 2003 UHF directional antenna or A 1031 U

omni-directional antenna).

The active transmitter combiner allows you to make high-

quality transmission systems with up to 8 channels.

Areas of application:

yMulti-channel in ear monitoring system for broadcast or

stage use

yMulti-channel system suitable for any application where

talk-back signals are to be transmitted (e.g. studio)

that the air vents of the unit are not covered or blocked!

Never stack more than two units directly one above the

other! Do not set up the unit near any heat sources and

never expose the unit to direct sunlight (see page 15)! Use

an overvoltage protection or, during a thunderstorm, dis-

connect the unit from the mains!

The AC 3000 contains mechanically moving parts (fans).

Since dust and pollution can impair their function, you

should regularly check the fans for proper operation and

cleanoutany dust ifnecessary.Thefailureof oneorseveral

fans can cause overheating and permanent damage to the

unit.

Warning!

If you open units or use damaged mains cables, you can
