Connecting the microphone/line cable The microphone/line input is designed for the connection of both condenser microphones and instruments (e. g. DC powering of the condenser microphones is via the microphone/line input. Connect the 3. 5 mm jack plug from the microphone/ line cable to the 3. 5 mm jack socket (MIC/LINE) . ³ Lock the 3. 5 mm jack plug by screwing down the coupling ring . Via the operating menu, adjust the sensitivity of the microphone/line input (MIC/LINE) (see "Adjusting the sensitivity" on page 21). Attaching the microphones Use the microphone clips to attach the ME 2 or ME 4 clipon microphones to clothing (e. g. tie, lapel).

The lock mode prevents that the transmitter is accidentally programmed or switched off during operation. 14 The operating menu A special feature of the Sennheiser ew 500 G2 series is the similar, intuitive operation of transmitters and receivers.
