Hi,

I have a Zoom H4n and the Sennheiser EV100 wireless system. On the Zoom, I have 2 tracks linked to the right 'port' recording wav files. When I plug the Senn into a Zoom port I don't get nothin'.

Any ideas or suggestions? One may have to know both systems to help but thot I'd ask.

What does "I have 2 tracks linked to the right 'port' recording wav files." mean?

Please describe in better detail what "plug the Senn into a Zoom port" means?
From where on the Senn receiver? Using what kind of cable? To exactly what port on the Zoom?

We will likely need more details if we are going to discuss a problem like this.
 
Thanks for the reply. Sorry for the confusion. Unfortunately, more may follow.

In MTR mode with the Zoom H4n audio recorder, I can link 2 tracks to one of the xlr 'ports' to get stereo.

I plugged one end of the cable that came with the EW100—it looks like a 3.5mm stereo jack—into the Senn EW100 receiver, and plugged the xlr end into the Zoom H4n.

No joy.

I'm hoping this info will help someone help...We'll see. ;)

What's confusing is that the EW100's manual says I can connect to sound recording equipment by attaching the line cable and locking "the jack plug by screwing down the locking ring."

While screwing down the locking ring is possible with the mic's cable, not with the cable on the receiver that connects to sound recording equipment.

Go figgur.
 
Does the wireless system work normally with other gear?
The EW100 portable receiver uses a 3.5mm (1/8") TRS locking plug, though any properly wired standard 3.5mm TRS plug would work as well.
The recorder end of the cable should have an XLR-M, this is mic level and the receiver's AF out level should be set to around -12dB (depending on the transmitter's sensitivity setting).
 
Do you have a local person that can help you? What about the place you purchased the equipment from? Those sales associates should be able to show you how to set all this up.

The short of it is each input on the recorder is a mono input, so you will not get stereo by plugging something into just one input. You need to make sure the input structure of the recorder is set up properly to take the output signal of the wireless receiver. It's not a matter of just plugging in and it works. It's all about the gain stages being set up properly.
