SSH EN 301 357-2 V1.2.1:2001

Electromagnetic compatibility and Radio spectrum Matters (ERM); Cordless audio devices in the range 25 MHz to 2 000 MHz; Consumer radio microphones and in-ear monitoring systems operating in the CEPT harmonized band 863 MHz to 865 MHz; Part 2: Harmonized EN under article 3.2 of the R&TTE Directive

Scope

The present document covers the minimum characteristics considered necessary in order to make the best use of the
available frequencies. It does not necessarily include all the characteristics that may be required by a user, nor does it
necessarily represent the optimum performance achievable.
Cordless audio devices covered within the present document are considered by definition short-range devices, the
power limits for frequency bands will be found in the current version of CEPT/ERC/REC 70-03 [2] (or national
regulations).
The present document applies to cordless audio, consumer radio microphones and in-ear monitoring equipment using
either 300 kHz bandwidth with analogue modulation or 300 kHz, 600 kHz or 1 200 kHz digital FDMA modulation. The
frequency bands for this equipment may differ from country to country as specified in their national regulations. All
equipment is intended to be used with integral antennas.
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) requirements are covered by EN 301 489-9 [3].
The types of equipment covered by the present document are as follows:
- cordless headphones;
- cordless loudspeakers;
- consumer radio microphones;
- in-ear monitoring;
- in-vehicle cordless;
- personal cordless;
- broadband multi-channel audio systems.
The present document is intended to cover the provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC (R&TTE Directive) [1] article 3.2,
which states that "….. radio equipment shall be so constructed that it effectively uses the spectrum allocated to
terrestrial/space radio communications and orbital resources so as to avoid harmful interference".
In addition to the present document, other EN's that specify technical requirements in respect of essential requirements
under other parts of article 3 of the R&TTE Directive [1] will apply to equipment within the scope of the present
document.
