• using the product within the operating conditions and limitations described in this instruction manual.

“Improper use” means using the product other than as described in this instruction manual, or under operating conditions which differ from those described herein.

The SKP 2000 plug-on transmitter

This plug-on 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

• Pilot tone squelch control

• Switching bandwidth of up to 75 MHz

• Increased immunity to intermodulation and interferences in multi-

channel operation

Areas of application

The plug-on transmitter can be combined with the EK 2000 portable receiver and the EM 2000 and EM 2050 rack-mount receivers. 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 5 UHF frequency ranges with up to 3,000 transmission frequencies per frequency range:

Range Aw : 516 – 558

500 600 700 800

Range Gw: 558 – 626

Range Bw: 626 – 698

Range Cw: 718 – 790

Range Dw: 790 – 865

Each frequency range (Aw-Dw, Gw) offers 26 frequency banks with up to 64 channels each:

Each of the channels in the frequency banks “1” to “20” has been factorypreset to a fixed frequency (frequency preset). 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 2000 product page on our website at www.sennheiser.com.

The frequency banks “U1” to “U6” allow you to freely select and store frequencies. It might be that these frequencies are not intermodulationfree.
