The SKM 5200-II radio microphone
The SKM 5200-II radio microphone
The SKM 5200-II is a professional hand-held radio microphone transmitter that is easy to use and is easily adaptable to a wide variety of applications:
•Suitable for all-purpose use, e.g. for reporting, stage and studio applications.
•Rugged housing and intuitive, menu-assisted operation.
•Screw-on microphone heads with different pick-up patterns (omnidirectional, cardioid and super-cardioid) for a wide variety of applications. A super-cardioid dynamic micro-phone head capable of accommodating extremely high sound pressure levels is also available.
•Microphone sensitivity can be adjusted in steps of 1 dB.
•Tunable transmission frequencies ensure high flexibility in varying transmission situations.
•Can be operated either on rechargeable or standard alkaline batteries
– with LC display (in percent) of charging status on suitable receivers.
•Color-coded identification markers for quick and unambiguous identification.
•Switchable low-cut filter
•Up to 184 MHz switching bandwidth
•Signal-to-noise ratio typ. 110 dB(A)
•Adjustable output power:
10 mW, 10 mW Low Intermodulation mode (LoI), 50 mW.

Putting the radio microphone into operation
Putting the radio microphone into operation
Inserting, removing and changing the power pack
For powering the radio microphone, you can either use the Sennheiser B 5000-2 battery box (1.5 V AA size batteries) or the rechargeable Sennheiser BA 5000-2 battery pack. For regular use, we recommend using the environmentally friendly rechargeable BA 5000-2 battery pack.
For battery pack operation of the radio microphone, only use the BA 5000-2 battery pack in order to ensure optimum operational reliability. Batteries and rechargeable battery cells have different discharging curves. The radio microphone is able to identify the BA 5000-2 battery pack and to use its capacity to the full. Individual rechargeable battery cells in the B 5000-2 battery box will not be identified as battery packs.
Inserting the power pack |
|
|
|
|
|
Open |
the |
locking |
mechanism by |
|
moving it in the direction of the arrow. |
|||
|
Insert the power pack into the radio |
|||
|
microphone. |
|
|
|
|
Push the power pack towards the |
|||
|
microphone head. |
|
||
|
Close |
the |
locking |
mechanism by |
|
moving it in the direction of the arrow. |
|||
Removing the power pack |
|

|
moving it in the direction of the arrow. |
|||
Push |
the |

|
antenna. |
|
|
|
|
You can now remove the power pack. |

Putting the radio microphone into operation
After you have changed the power pack, the radio microphone continues operating on exactly the same settings as before the change. Stored settings are retained in memory on switch-off.
Inserting batteries into the B 5000-2 battery box
To open the battery box, push down the
|
|
display section of the battery box . |
|
|
|
|
|
Insert the batteries. Observe correct |
|
|
polarity when inserting the batteries. |
|
|
Close the battery box. |
LC display shown on the example of the B 5000-2 battery box
• 3-step LC display for remaining battery capacity.
• If the battery capacity is too low (LOW BATT), the last segment starts flashing and the batteries must be changed.

Recharging the BA 5000-2 battery pack
Before using the BA 5000-2 battery pack (see “ Accessories” on page 30) for the first time or if you have not used it for several weeks, you must charge the battery pack completely.
The L 50 charger (see “ Accessories” on page 30) can charge two BA 5000-2 battery packs simultaneously.
10
Putting the radio microphone into operation
|
|
Place the appropriate charging adapter |
|
|
in the charging compartment of the |
|
|
charger. |
|
|
Insert the BA 5000-2 battery pack into the |
|
charging adapter . |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Charging time: approx. 2.5 hrs with the |
|
|
L 50 charger (dependent on the residual |
|
|
charge of the battery pack). |
The battery pack is carefully charged using the − U-method. For further details, please refer to the user manual of the L 50 charger.
LC display shown on the example of the BA 5000-2 battery pack
• 6-step LC display for (remaining) battery pack capacity.
• Microprocessor-controlled electronics takes self-discharge of rechargeable cells into account.
• The maximum capacity of is reduced due
|
|
