The SK 2000 bodypack transmitter
This bodypack transmitter is part of the 2000 series. 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 2000 series:
• Optimized PLL synthesizer and microprocessor technology
• HDX noise reduction system
lot tone squelch control
i
•P
• True diversity technology
• Switching bandwidth of up to 75 MHz
• Increased immunity to intermodulation and interferences in multi-
channel operation
Areas of application
The bodypack transmitter can be combined with the EM 2000 or EM 2050
rack-mount receiver. The receivers are available in the same UHF
frequency ranges and are equipped with the same frequency bank system
with factory-preset frequencies. An advantage of the factory-preset
frequencies is 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.
