RF Wireless Systems | 5000 Series Hand-Held Transmitters
The SKM 5000 versions provide for extremely reliable and fl exible use of hand-held
Mikroport transmitters. Their interchangeable microphone heads let you choose
between fi ve condenser microphone heads with different pick-up patterns and
a super-cardioid dynamic head. Together with the EM 1046 receiver system, the
SKM 5000 hand-held transmit ters can prove their strong points.
Via the Mikroport computer display you can monitor all channels. The radio links
are exceptionally reliable and can be used in large multi-channel systems. Since
its launch in 1993, the slim hand-held transmitter has been extremely popular

with demanding TV productions and shows. For discriminating users worldwide the
SKM 5000 is the top choice.
Power supply
The variants of the SKM 5000 can be optionally powered by a rechargeable accupack
or batteries. In a BA 5000-1, two rechargeable NiMH batteries are integrated whilst
the B 5000-1 battery box takes two miniature (AA) cells. The B 5000-1 battery box
has a 3-step LC display for monitoring the battery status at the transmitter. The
BA 5000-1 provides a check of the battery status with a 6-step LCD. If only one LCD
segment is showing, it fl ashes as a warning. The remaining operating time is then
20 minutes maximum.
In addition, the 3000 and 5000 series receivers can be used for remotely checking
the battery status. If the display of the receiver indicates “Low Batt”, about
20 minutes of operation are left. The accupack is charged from the L 50 automatic
charger which is also used for the accupacks of the SK 50 / SK 250 bodypack transmitters. The BA 5000-1 is inserted in the L 50 by means of a charging adaptor supplied
with the accupacks.

General information on the use of hand-held transmitters
The specifi c fi elds of application for hand-held transmitters are where the
bodypack transmitter/clip-on microphone combination is not suitable. If, for
example, it is not possible to attach an SK 50 / ME 102 combination because
speakers change, the SKM 5000 can be rapidly passed to and fro between presenter
and questioner in the audience. However, a hand- held transmitter also provides
different acoustic characteristics from a clip-on microphone with bodypack
transmitter: it can be moved closer to the mouth as a result of which ambient
noise can be better suppressed.
On a musical stage, excellent results are achieved even when a clip-on microphone
is used when the voice is trained. On a rock ’n’ roll stage, in contrast, the monitor
system is so loud that it is not possible to use clip -ons. The situation in chat shows
with loud audience noise presents similar problems. It is specifi cally when the microphone is used not only for programme sound but is also for public address that the
sound quality is preserved by using the SKM 5000 hand-held transmit ter.
The SKM 5000 is capable of accommodating even the highest sound pressure levels
(maximum sound pressure level 163 dB with the MD 5005 dynamic microphone
head). Due to its insensitivity to pop and handling noise, the SKM 5000 has proved
its worth in tough use.

Pick-up patterns/handling
The most frequently used pick-up pattern is the super-cardioid which is particularly
sensitive to sound coming from the front. The tip of the microphone should therefore always point towards the mouth. This position optimally suppresses ambient
noise. The ME 5002 microphone head with omni-directional pattern picks up sound
equally from all directions. With favourable acoustics it can therefore pick up the
voices of both interviewer and interviewee.
Besides its directional pattern a super-cardioid microphone exhibits another typical
characteristic: the proximity effect. At close talking distances the bass frequencies
are enhanced, a singer’s voice sounds fuller and warmer. The ME 5005 e microphone
head has been optimised for vocal applications. If a neutral sound is required irrespective of the talking distance a microphone head with wide cardioid, cardioid or
BA 5000-1, charging adaptor, charger
(from top to bottom)
omni- directional pick-up pattern is the better choice. Radio sound mixers prefer the
wide cardioid pattern.
If questions from the audience are to be integrated into a discussion, the SKM 5000
can be used as a wireless boom microphone. Although it is not possible to have
the same long operating distances as in the case of a gun microphone, the sound
operator can easily control the speaking distance with the SKM 5000 mounted on
a short boom. An antenna is integrated into the body of the SKM 5000. Please take
care, therefore, that the user does not clamp the hand-held transmitter with both
hands or press it against the body. This distinctly reduces the radiated power of the
antenna.
