The SK 500 G3 bodypack transmitter

The SK 500 G3 bodypack

transmitter

This bodypack 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 transmis-

sion with studio-quality sound.

Features of the evolution wireless 500 G3 series:

• Optimized PLL synthesizer and microprocessor

technology

•HDX noise reduction system

• Pilot tone squelch control

• True diversity technology

• Switching bandwidth of 42 MHz

• Increased immunity to intermodulation and

interferences in multi-channel operation

The frequency bank system

The bodypack transmitter is available in 6 UHF frequency

ranges with 1,680 transmission frequencies per frequency

range:

Each frequency range (A–E, G) offers 26 frequency banks

with up to 32 channels each:

Each of the channels in the frequency banks “1” to “20”

has been factory-preset to a fixed frequency (frequency

preset).

The factory-preset frequencies within one frequency bank

are intermodulation-free. These frequencies cannot be

changed.

516 – 558 566 – 608 626 – 668 734 – 776 780 – 822 823 – 865

Range A: Range G: Range B: Range C: Range D: Range E:

Channel 32 – frequency preset

Channel 1– frequency preset

Channel 2– frequency preset

Channel 2– freely selectable frequency

The SK 500 G3 bodypack transmitter

For an overview of the frequency presets, please refer to the

supplied frequency information sheet. Updated versions of

the frequency information sheet can be downloaded from

the SK 500 G3 product page on our website at

www.sennheiser.com.

The frequency banks “U1” to “U6” allow you to freely select

and store frequencies. It might be that these frequencies

are not intermodulation-free.

Areas of application

The bodypack transmitter can be combined with the

EM 500 G3 rack-mount receiver.

The EM 500 G3 rack-mount 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 simulta-

neously on the preset frequencies without causing

intermodulation interference.

tions and examples of the different standard displays, refer

to page 16.

The display backlighting is automatically reduced after

approx. 20 seconds.

Putting the bodypack

transmitter into operation

Inserting the batteries/accupack

For powering the bodypack transmitter, you can either use

two 1.5 V AA size batteries or the rechargeable Sennheiser

BA 2015 accupack (see “Accessories and spare parts” on

page 32).

왘Open the battery compartment by pushing the two

catches in the direction of the arrows and open the

cover .

왘Insert the two batteries or the accupack as shown

above. Please observe correct polarity when inserting

the batteries/accupack.

왘Close the battery compartment.

The battery compartment cover locks into place with

an audible click.

Charging the accupack

To charge the bodypack transmitter with the BA 2015

accupack (see “Accessories and spare parts” on page 32)

installed:

왘Insert the bodypack transmitter into the L 2015 charger

(see “Accessories and spare parts” on page 32).

Connecting the microphone cable/

instrument cable

The audio input is designed for the connection of both

condenser microphones and instruments (e.g. guitars).

DC powering of the condenser microphones is via the audio

input (3.5 mm jack socket MIC/LINE ).

The L 2015 charger can only charge the combination

BA 2015 accupack/bodypack transmitter. Standard

batteries (primary cells) or individual rechargeable

battery cells cannot be charged in this way.

Putting the bodypack transmitter into operation

왘Use one of the recommended Sennheiser microphones

or the optional CI 1 instrument cable (see “Accessories

and spare parts” on page 32).

왘Connect the 3.5 mm jack plug from the Sennheiser

microphone or instrument cable to the 3.5 mm jack

socket MIC/LINE .

왘Lock the 3.5 mm jack plug by screwing down the

coupling ring .

왘Via the operating menu, adjust the sensitivity of the

microphone/line input (see page 21).

Attaching and positioning the microphones

ME 2

왘Use the microphone clip to attach the microphone to

clothing (e.g. tie, lapel).

왘Attach the ME 2 microphone as close as possible to the

sound source.

The ME 2 clip-on microphone has an omni-directional

pick-up pattern. It is therefore not necessary to position it

precisely.

ME 3

왘Adjust the ME 3 headmic so that a comfortable and

secure fit is ensured.

The ME 3 headmic has a cardioid pick-up pattern.

왘Position the microphone so that its sound inlet is

directed towards the sound source (e.g. mouth).
