The SKM 100 G3 radio microphone family
The SKM 100 G3 radio microphone family
The SKM 100 G3 radio microphone 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
•P
ilottonesquelchcontrol
• True diversity technology
• Switching bandwidth of 42 MHz
• Increased immunity to intermodulation and interferences in multi-
channel operation
• Interchangeable microphone heads, allowing the use of different
pick-up patterns and sensitivities
The frequency bank system
Please note: Frequency usage is different for each country. Your Sennhe-
iser partner will have all the necessary details on the available legal
frequencies for your area.
The radio microphone is available in 6 UHF frequency ranges with
1,680 transmission frequencies per frequency range:
Each frequency range (A–E, G, GB) 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 transmission 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 SKM 100 G3 product page on our
website at www.sennheiser.com.
The frequency bank “U” allows you to freely select and store transmission
frequencies. It might be that these transmission frequencies are not inter-
modulation-free.
Range A: 516 – 558 MHz Range C: 734 – 776 MHz
Range G: 566 – 608 MHz Range D: 780 – 822 MHz
Range GB: 608 – 648 MHz Range E: 823 – 865 MHz
Range B: 626 – 668 MHz

The SKM 100 G3 radio microphone family
Areas of application
The radio microphone family can be combined with the EM 100 G3
stationary receiver.
The EM 100 G3 stationary receiver is available in the same UHF frequency
ranges and is equipped with the same frequency bank system with
factory-preset frequencies. 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 name and pick-up pattern of the microphone head are printed on the
sound inlet basket of the radio microphone.

Putting the radio microphone into operation
Putting the radio microphone into
operation
Inserting the batteries/accupack
For powering the radio microphone, you can either use two 1.5 V AA size
batteries or the rechargeable Sennheiser BA 2015 accupack.
Unscrew the lower part of the radio microphone from the radio micro-
phone’s body 쐋by turning it counterclockwise.
Slide back the lower part of the radio microphone as far as it will go.
Open the battery compartment cover 씈.
Insert the batteries or the BA 2015 accupack as shown on the battery
compartment cover. Observe correct polarity when inserting the
batteries/accupack.
Close the battery compartment cover 씈.
Push the battery compartment into the radio microphone’s body.
Screw the lower part of the radio microphone back to the radio micro-
phone’s body 쐋.
When unscrewing the radio microphone during operation, the
muting function is automatically activated. “MUTE” appears on
the display panel.
When screwing the lower part of the radio microphone back to
the radio microphone’s body, the muting is canceled.
