WIRELESS RF TRANSMISSION TECHNOLOGY
With this headphone system you can move around freely in the home or outside in the garden without
the constrictions of a headphone cable! The RS 6 will transmit the stereo sound signal from your hi-fi
system or any other sound source to the headphone receiver.
The Sennheiser system operates on a carrier frequency of approx. 434 MHz (RS 6) or approx. 926 MHz
(RS 6-9), respectively. This frequency band has been licensed by the respective telecommunications
authorities for "non-commercial use", and apart from wireless sound transmission, it is also used for remote
controls etc. (Please note: because of this, occasional interference may be experienced from e.g. car alarm
radio keys.)
The maximum distance between transmitter and receiver should not exceed 100 m. Walls and ceilings are
(almost) no obstacle, since radio waves travel through them. Transmission will remain clear and
intelligible, and it is not necessary that transmitter and headphone receiver are in a direct line of sight. The
only obstacle for radio waves are metal parts as e.g. in concrete constructions or wall coverings. They reflect
radio waves.
If several wireless RS 6 headphone systems
are operated simultaneously and are very
close to one another (e.g. on the next
floor, at a neighbour´s, or on the other
side of the street) you have to agree on
using different channels. For this purpose,
the RS 6 system features three transmission
channels, so everybody can transmit the
music they want to listen to.
