The ew 100 G3 evolution wireless series

The ew 100 G3 evolution wireless series

With the ew 100 G3 evolution wireless series, Sennheiser offers high-quality state-of-the-art

RF transmission systems with a high level of operational reliability and ease of use ters and receivers permit wireless transmission with studio-quality sound

Transmit-Adaptive diversity

The EK 100 G3 diversity receiver operates on the adaptive diversity principle where the shield

of the line cable is used as the second antenna to provide improved reception

The frequency bank system

The devices are available in 6 UHF frequency ranges with 1,680 frequencies per frequencyrange:

Each frequency range (A–E, 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 fixedfrequency (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 informationsheet Updated versions of the frequency information sheet can be downloaded from thecorresponding product page on our website at www.sennheiser.com

The frequency bank “U” allows you to freely select and store frequencies It might be that

왘 Via the operating menu, adjust the sensitivity of the microphone/line input

Attaching and positioning the corresponding microphones

ME 2/ME 4 왘 Use the microphone clip씌 to attach the microphone to clothing (e.g tie, lapel)

The ME 2 clip-on microphone (shown on the right in the diagram) has an omni-directionalpick-up pattern It is therefore not necessary to position it precisely

왘 Attach the ME 2 microphone as close as possible to the sound source

The ME 4 clip-on microphone (shown on the left in the diagram) has a cardioid pick-uppattern

왘 Position the ME 4 microphone so that its sound inlet is directed towards the sound source(e.g mouth)

Attaching the bodypack transmitter to clothing

You can use the belt clip씍 to attach the bodypack transmitter to clothing (e.g belt, band)

waist-The belt clip is detachable so that you can also attach the transmitter with the antennapointing downwards To do so, withdraw the belt clip씍 from its fixing points and attach itthe other way round The belt clip씍 is secured so that it cannot slide out of its fixing pointsaccidentally

To detach the belt clip:

왘 Lift one side of the belt clip as shown in the diagram on the right-hand side

왘 Press down the belt clip at one fixing point and pull it out of the transmitter housing

왘 Repeat for the other side

SKM 100 G3 radio microphone

왘 Only hold the radio microphone by its body

Inserting the batteries/accupack

For powering the radio microphone, you can either use two 1.5 V AA size batteries or therechargeable Sennheiser BA 2015 accupack

왘 Unscrew the lower part of the radio microphone from the radio microphone’s body쐋 byturning it counterclockwise

왘 Slide back the lower part of the radio microphone as far as it will go

왘 Open the battery compartment cover씈 (see page 14)

왘 Insert the batteries or the BA 2015 accupack as shown on the battery compartmentcover Observe correct polarity when inserting the batteries/accupack (see page 14)

micro-Putting the devices into operation

왘 Close the battery compartment cover 씈

왘 Push the battery compartment into the radio microphone’s body

왘 Screw the lower part of the radio microphone back to the radio microphone’s body

Charging the accupack

To charge the radio microphone with the BA 2015 accupack (optional accessory) installed:

왘 Use the LA 2 charging adapter to insert the radio microphone into the L 2015 charger(charger and charging adapter are available as optional accessories)

Changing the microphone head

The microphone head쐃 is easy to change

왘 Unscrew the microphone head쐃

왘 Screw the desired microphone head to the radio microphone

The radio microphone is operational again

Do not touch the contacts of the radio microphone nor the contacts of the phone head쐃 The contacts can become dirty or damaged if touched

Using the devices

Plugging the plug-on transmitter onto a microphone

왘 Plug the microphone’s XLR-3M socket onto the transmitter’s XLR-3F socket 쐃

왘 Tighten the locking ring 쐇 in the direction of the arrow

Using the devices

To establish a transmission link, proceed as follows:

1 Switch the diversity receiver on

2 Switch a transmitter on

The transmission link is established and the diversity receiver’s RF level display “RF”reacts

If you cannot establish a transmission link between transmitter and diversity receiver:

왘 Make sure that transmitter and diversity receiver are set to the same frequency bank and

to the same channel

왘 If necessary, read the chapter “If a problem occurs ” on page 29

The transmitter uses the microphone body as an antenna – therefore microphoneswith a metal casing should be used for best signal transmission

It is vital to observe the following notes:

왘 Make sure that the desired frequencies are listed in the enclosed frequencyinformation sheet

왘 Make sure that the desired frequencies are approved and legal in your countryand, if necessary, apply for an operating license
