Tourguide system overview Areas of application Simultaneous interpretations during conferences (“Conference“ mode) The main application of the stationary SR 2020 D transmitter is its use for simultaneous interpretations during conferences. Eight fixed transmission frequencies allow for interference-free simultaneous interpretations in up to eight languages (see “Transmitting several languages simultaneously” on page 17).
Tourguide system overview Examples for stationary guided tours are multimedia presentations, movie shows as well as boat and bus tours in several languages. Six fixed transmission frequencies allow for simultaneous transmission in up to six languages (see “Transmitting several languages simultaneously” on page 17). The Tourguide 2020 D system operates in the 863 MHz– 865 MHz frequency band, which is license-free in Europe (see “Specifications” on page 26).

Product overview Indications and displays on the transmitter Display for the selected signal source (Mic/Line) You can connect either a condenser microphone or an external audio source to the transmitter. If you connect a condenser microphone, select “Mic” via the operating menu. If you connect an external audio source, select “Line” (see page 19). “Mic” or “Line” appears on the display . Note: If the “Mic” microphone input is selected but no microphone is connected, “No Mic” appears on the display.
Putting the SR 2020 D into operation Putting the SR 2020 D into operation Preparing the transmitter for use You can set up the SR 2020 D transmitter on an even surface or mount it into a 19“ rack. Note: Do not fit the rubber feet when rack mounting the transmitter. Setting up the transmitter on an even surface To ensure that the transmitter cannot slip on the surface on which it is placed, four self-adhesive soft rubber feet are supplied.
Putting the SR 2020 D into operation Rack-mounting CAUTION! Risks when rack mounting the transmitter! When installing the device in a closed or multi-rack assembly, please consider that, during operation, the ambient temperature, the mechanical loading and the electrical potentials will be different from those of devices which are not mounted into a rack: The ambient temperature within the rack must not exceed the temperature limit specified in the specifications.
Putting the SR 2020 D into operation When using several transmitters simultaneously, make sure that, in order to avoid interference, the distance between the antennas is sufficient. If necessary, use active transmitter combiners (see “Accessories and spare parts” on page 25): You mount... Active Transmitter Combiner ... 1 transmitter AC 2 ... 2 transmitters AC 3200 Mounting two SR 2020 D side by side Place the two transmitters side by side upside-down onto a flat surface.
Putting the SR 2020 D into operation Mounting only one When mounting only one transmitter into the rack, use the SR 2020 D blanking plate instead of the second transmitter. Hook the two rack mount “ears” to the front panel of the transmitter. Secure the rack mount “ears” to the transmitter using two of the supplied recessed head screws (M 3x6) respectively. Secure the blanking plate to one of the rack mount “ears” using two of the supplied recessed head screws (M 6x10).
Putting the SR 2020 D into operation Connecting an external audio source to the transmitter Connect the line output of the external audio source to the XLR-3F socket of the transmitter. 2 Connecting a condenser microphone The microphone input of the SR 2020 D transmitter is exclusively designed for use with condenser microphones. Suitable microphones are listed on page 6. Connect the condenser microphone to the XLR-3F socket of the transmitter.
