The SKP 100 G3 plug-on transmitter
The SKP 100 G3 plug-on transmitter
The SKP 100 G3 plug-on 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
• Switching bandwidth of 42 MHz
• Increased immunity to intermodulation and interferences in multi-
channel operation
Areas of application
The plug-on transmitter can be combined with the EM 100 G3 stationary
receiver and the EK 100 G3 portable receiver. These receivers are available
in the same UHF frequency ranges and are 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.

The frequency bank system
The plug-on transmitter is available in 6 UHF frequency ranges with
1,680 transmission frequencies per frequency range:
Range A: Range G: Range B: Range C: Range D: Range E:
516 – 558
566 – 608
626 – 668
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
734 – 776
780 – 822
823 – 865
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 factorypreset to a fixed transmission frequency (frequency preset).

Delivery includes
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 SKP 100 G3 product page on our
website at www.sennheiser.com.
The frequency bank “U” allows you to freely select and store transmission
frequencies. It might be that these transmission frequencies are not intermodulation-free.
Delivery includes
The packaging contains the following items:
1 SKP 100 G3 plug-on transmitter
2 AA size batteries, 1.5 V
1 instruction manual
1 frequency information sheet

Putting the plug-on transmitter into
operation
Inserting the batteries/accupack
For powering the plug-on transmitter, you can either use two 1.5 V AA size
batteries or the rechargeable Sennheiser BA 2015 accupack.
왘 Slide the battery compartment cover in the direction of the
embossed arrow and open the cover .
왘 Insert the two batteries or the accupack as shown below. 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
왘 Remove the BA 2015 accupack (optional accessory).
왘 Insert the BA 2015 accupack into the L 2015 charger (accupack and
charger are optional accessories):
The L 2015 charger can only charge the BA 2015 accupack. Standard batteries (primary cells) or individual rechargeable battery
cells cannot be charged.
Plugging the plug-on transmitter onto a microphone
왘 Plug the microphone’s XLR-3M socket onto the transmitter’s XLR-3F
socket .
왘 Tighten the locking ring in the direction of the arrow.
The transmitter uses the microphone body as an antenna – therefore microphones with a metal casing should be used for best
signal transmission.
