The SKP 100 G3 plug-on transmitter
The SKP 100 G3 plug-on transmitter
This plug-on transmitter is part of the evolution wireless series
generation 3 (ew G3). With this series, Sennheiser offers high-quality
state-of-the-art RF transmission systems with a high level of operational
reliability and ease of use. Transmitters and receivers permit wireless
transmission with studio-quality sound.
Features of the evolution wireless 100 G3 series:
· Optimized PLL synthesizer and microprocessor technology
· HDX noise reduction system
·Pilot tone squelch control
· Switching bandwidth of 42 MHz
· Increased immunity to intermodulation and interferences in
multi-channel operation
Areas of application
The plug-on transmitter can be combined with the EK 100 G3 diversity
receiver and the EM 100 G3 stationary receiver. These receivers are
available in the same UHF frequency ranges and are equipped with the
same frequency bank system. This has the advantage that
· a transmission system is ready for immediate use after switch-on,
· several transmission systems can be operated simultaneously on the
preset frequencies without causing intermodulation interference.
The frequency bank system
The plug-on transmitter is available in 6 UHF frequency ranges with 1,680
transmission frequencies per frequency range:
Each frequency range (AE, G) offers 21 frequency banks with up to 12
channels each:
Each of the channels in the frequency banks "1" to "20" has been factory-
preset to a fixed frequency (frequency preset).
