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. Transmitters and receivers permit wireless transmission with studio-quality sound.
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 frequency
range:
Range A:
516 – 558 626 – 668 734 – 776 823 – 865566 – 608 780 – 822
Range G: Range B:
Range C: Range D:
Each frequency range (A–E, G) offers 21 frequency banks with up to 12 channels each:
Channel 1 – frequency preset
Channel 2 – frequency preset
Frequency bank 1 ... 20
Channel 12 – frequency preset
Channel 1 – freely selectable frequency
Channel 2 – freely selectable frequency
Frequency bank U
Channel 12 – freely selectable frequency
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.
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
corresponding 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
these frequencies are not intermodulation-free.
Range E:

EK 100 G3 diversity receiver
Inserting the batteries/accupack
For powering the diversity receiver, you can either use two 1.5 V AA size batteries or the
rechargeable Sennheiser BA 2015 accupack.
Open the battery compartment by pushing the two catches in the direction of the

when inserting the batteries/accupack.
The battery compartment cover locks into place with an audible click.

Charging the accupack
To charge the BA 2015 accupack:
Insert the diversity receiver into the L 2015 charger (optional accessory).
The L 2015 simultaneously charges up to two devices, e.g. two diversity receivers or
one diversity receiver and one SK 100 G3 bodypack transmitter.
The L 2015 charger can only charge the BA 2015 accupack. Standard batteries
(primary cells) or individual rechargeable battery cells cannot be charged.
Putting the devices into operation
Mounting the diversity receiver to a camera
Use the supplied CA 2 camera adapter to mount the receiver to a camera’s flash mount.
Determine where on the perforated plate the flash mount adapter will need to be
fastened so that the receiver can best be attached to the camera.
At this position, place a square nut under the perforated plate .
Fasten the flash mount adapter to the perforated plate using the square nut .
Lift one side of the belt clip as shown.
Press down the belt clip at one fixing point and pull it out of the receiver housing.
Repeat for the other side.
Place the perforated plate onto the rear of the receiver.
Reinsert the belt clip .
Use one of the supplied line cables to connect the line input of the camera to the
socket .
The shield of the line cable serves as the antenna for the second diversity section.
