ARCHITECT’S
SPECIFICATIONS
The device shall be a portable compact
handheld microphone transmitter for use
with a companion receiver as part of a
high reliability wireless radio frequency
transmission system. The portable microphone transmitter shall operate within a
RF frequency range of 516 – 865 MHz in
20 fixed frequency banks or 6 user banks
with a maximum of 64 presets with a
switching bandwidth of maximum 75 MHz
tunable in 25 kHz steps; carrier frequencies shall be maximum 3000. Nominal/
peak deviation shall be ±24 kHz/±48 kHz.
Frequency stability shall be ≤±15 ppm.
RF output power shall be selectable at 10
mW (Low), 30 mW (Standard), 50 mW
(High) and 100 mW (Maximum, XP
version only). A compander feature shall
be included and shall be Sennheiser HDX
system with pilot-tone squelch (switchable). Audio frequency response shall be
80 – 18,000 Hz. Signal-to-noise ratio shall
be >120 dB(A); total harmonic distortion
shall be < 0.9 %.
It‘s all in the design. The hand-held transmitter of the 2000 series shows its
strength: during use, in its performance, in its features. Sennheiser‘s technical
know-how is shown through its switchable transmission power, intuitive menu
navigation, an easy-to-read graphic display and external charging contacts
for charging the optional rechargeable batteries directly.
SKM 2000 is compatible with all ew capsules,
including the MMK 965-1 true
condenser capsule, whose wired
version, e 965, has
already proven to
be a great success.
Colors: Nickel and
black.
