The SK 100 G3 bodypack transmitter
The SK 100 G3 bodypack transmitter
The SK 100 G3 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
transmission with studio-quality sound.
Features of the evolution wireless 100 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
Please note: Frequency usage is different for each country. Your
Sennheiser partner will have all the necessary details on the available legal
frequencies for your area.
The bodypack transmitter is available in 6 UHF frequency ranges with
1,680 transmission frequencies per frequency range:
Range A: 516 – 558 MHz Range C: 734 – 776 MHz
Range G: 566 – 608 MHz Range D: 780 – 822 MHz
Range B: 626 – 668 MHz Range E: 823 – 865 MHz
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 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 information sheet can be downloaded from the SK 100 G3 product page on our
website at www.sennheiser.com.
The frequency bank “U” allow you to freely select and store transmission
frequencies. It might be that these transmission frequencies are not intermodulation-free.

The SK 100 G3 bodypack transmitter
Areas of application
The bodypack transmitter 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. 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.

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.
왘 Open the battery compartment by pushing the two catches in the
direction of the arrows and open the cover .
왘 Insert the two batteries or the accupack as shown above. Please
observe correct polarity when inserting the batteries/accupack.
왘 Close the battery compartment.
The battery compartment cover locks into place with an audible
click.
Charging the accupack
To charge the BA 2015 accupack:
왘 Insert the bodypack transmitter into the L 2015 charger (optional
accessory).
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.
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 ).
왘 Use one of the recommended Sennheiser microphones or the optional
CI 1 instrument cable (see page 4).
왘 Connect the 3.5 mm jack plug from the Sennheiser microphone or
instrument cable to the 3.5 mm jack socket MIC/LINE .
왘 Lock the 3.5 mm jack plug by screwing down the coupling ring of
the cable.
왘 Via the operating menu, adjust the sensitivity of the microphone/line
input (see page 17).
