General Description
The ew 100 G3 Camera Set system is ideal for video
recording in various environments, including studios and the outdoors. The clip-on microphone –
which is included in the ew 100 ENG G3, ew 112-p
G3, and ew 122-p G3 systems – is virtually invisible. The SKM 100 G3 handheld transmitter, which
is included in the ew 135-p G3 system, comes with
an e 835 microphone head and is compatible with
any other capsules from the Sennheiser evolution
series. Each system features 20 channel banks with
one user bank and 12 directly accessible presets.
The included SKP 100 G3 plug-on transmitter conveniently transforms any wired microphone into a
wireless one. Each system is ready to use.

Architect and Engineering Specifications
The wireless microphone system shall feature a true-diversity receiver with 42 MHz of available tuning bandwidth with a total of
1,680 switchable frequencies accessible in 25 kHz steps. The wireless microphone receiver must feature two BNC antenna inputs,
one for each receiver module in the true diversity system. The wireless microphone receiver must feature a backlit display that
displays AF and RF levels, battery telemetry from the transmitter, operating frequency, and diversity switching information. The
wireless microphone receiver must feature an automatic frequency scanning function that utilizes eight banks of pre-coordinated
frequencies that are free of intermodulation interference. The wireless microphone receiver must also feature a user bank in order
to store user defined frequencies. The wireless microphone transmitter must operate on two 1.5V AA battery cells. The wireless
microphone transmitter must have access to 1,680 frequencies tuned in 25 kHz steps across a defined 42 MHz bandwidth. The
wireless microphone transmitter must feature a backlit display that displays frequency information, AF level, battery level. The
wireless microphone transmitter must transmit a pilot-tone squelch. The wireless microphone transmitter must have a specified
RF output power of 30mW.
