The EK 100 G3 diversity receiver
The EK 100 G3 diversity receiver
This diversity receiver 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
· Adaptive diversity technology
· Switching bandwidth of 42 MHz
· Scan function (Easy Setup) for scanning the frequency banks for unused
channels
Adaptive diversity
This diversity receiver uses the ground connection of the line cable as its
second antenna to provide improved reception.
The frequency bank system
The diversity receiver is available in 6 UHF frequency ranges with
1,680 receiving 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 receiving frequency (frequency preset). The factory-
preset frequencies within one frequency bank are intermodulation-free.
These frequencies cannot be changed.
For an overview of the frequency presets, please refer to the supplied
frequency information sheet. Updated versions of the frequency informa-
tion sheet can be downloaded from the EK 100 G3 product page on our
website at www.sennheiser.com.
The frequency bank "U" allows you to freely select and store receiving
frequencies. It might be that these receiving frequencies are not intermod-
ulation-free (see page 19).

Delivery includes
Areas of application
The receiver can be combined with the following transmitters:
These transmitters are available in the same UHF frequency ranges and
are equipped with the same frequency bank system with factory-preset
frequencies. An advantage of the factory-preset frequencies is 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.
