The SK 300 G3 bodypack transmitter

The SK 300 G3 bodypack

transmitter

This bodypack 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 transmis-

sion with studio-quality sound.

Features of the evolution wireless 300 G3 series:

• Optimized PLL synthesizer and microprocessor

technology

•HDX noise reduction system

• Pilot tone squelch control

• True diversity technology

• Switching bandwidth of 42 MHz

• Increased immunity to intermodulation and

interferences in multi-channel operation

The frequency bank system

The bodypack transmitter is available in 7 UHF frequency

ranges with 1,680 transmission frequencies per frequency

range:

Each frequency range (A–E, G, GB) offers 26 frequency

banks with up to 24 channels each:

Each of the channels in the frequency banks “1” to “20” has

been factory-preset 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

Range GB:

606 – 648

516 – 558 566 – 608 626 – 668 734 – 776 780 – 822 823 – 865

Channel 2– freely selectable frequency

The SK 300 G3 bodypack transmitter

from the SK 300 G3 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 intermodulation-free.

Areas of application

The bodypack transmitter can be combined with the

EM 300 G3 rack-mount receiver.

The EM 300 G3 rack-mount receiver is available in the same

UHF frequency ranges and is equipped with the same

frequency bank system with factory-preset frequencies.

This has the advantage that

• a transmission system is ready for immediate use after

switch-on,

• several transmission systems can be operated simulta-

neously on the preset frequencies without causing

intermodulation interference.

standard display “Frequency/Name”. For further illustra-

tions and examples of the different standard displays, refer

to page 16.

The display backlighting is automatically reduced after

approx. 20 seconds.

Inserting the batteries/accupack

For powering the bodypack transmitter, you can either use

two 1.5 V AA size batteries or the rechargeable Sennheiser

BA 2015 accupack (optional accessory).

왘Open the battery compartment by pushing the two

catches 쐉in the direction of the arrows and open the

cover 쐈.

왘Insert the two batteries or the accupack as shown

above. Please observe correct polarity when inserting

the batteries/accupack.

왘Close the battery compartment.

The battery compartment cover 쐈locks into place with

an audible click.

Charging the accupack

To charge the BA 2015 accupack (optional accessory)

installed in the bodypack transmitter:

왘Insert the bodypack transmitter into the L 2015 charger

L 2015 (optional accessory).

Connecting the microphone cable/

instrument cable

The audio input is designed for the connection of both

condenser microphones and other audio sources. DC

powering of the condenser microphones is via the MIC/LINE

socket 쐃(3.5 mm jack socket).

왘Use one of the recommended Sennheiser microphones

or the CL 2 line cable (optional accessory).

왘Connect the 3.5 mm jack plug 씋from the Sennheiser

microphone or line cable to the MIC/LINE socket 쐃

(3.5 mm jack socket).

The L 2015 charger can only charge the combination

BA 2015 accupack/bodypack transmitter. Standard

batteries (primary cells) or individual rechargeable

battery cells cannot be charged.

Putting the bodypack transmitter into operation

왘Lock the 3.5 mm jack plug by screwing down the

coupling ring 씌.

왘Via the operating menu, adjust the sensitivity of the

microphone/line input (see “Adjusting the input sensi-

tivity – “Sensitivity”” on page 21).

Attaching and positioning the microphones

ME 2

왘Use the microphone clip 씍to attach the microphone to

clothing (e.g. tie, lapel).

왘Attach the ME 2 microphone as close as possible to the

sound source.

The ME 2 clip-on microphone has an omni-directional pick-

up pattern. It is therefore not necessary to position it

precisely.

ME 3

왘Adjust the ME 3 headmic so that a comfortable and

secure fit is ensured.

The ME 3 headmic has a cardioid pick-up pattern.

왘Position the microphone so that its sound inlet is

directed towards the sound source (e.g. mouth).

The ME 4 clip-on microphone has a cardioid pick-up pattern.

왘Position the ME 4 so that its sound inlet is directed

towards the sound source (e.g. mouth).

Attaching the bodypack transmitter to

clothing

You can use the belt clip 씎to attach the bodypack trans-

mitter to clothing (e.g. belt, waistband).

The belt clip is detachable so that you can also attach the

bodypack transmitter with the antenna pointing down-

wards. To do so, withdraw the belt clip 씎from its fixing

points and attach it the other way round.

The belt clip 씎is secured so that it cannot slide out of its

fixing points accidentally.

To detach the belt clip:

왘Lift the belt clip as shown.

왘Press down the belt clip at one fixing point and pull it

out of the transmitter housing.

왘Repeat for the other side.

Using the bodypack transmitter

To establish a transmission link, proceed as follows:

1. Switch the bodypack transmitter on (see next section)

2. Switch the receiver on (see the instruction manual of

the receiver).

The transmission link is established and the display

backlighting of the receiver changes from red to orange.

If you cannot establish a transmission link between

bodypack transmitter and receiver, refer to the chapter

“Synchronizing the bodypack transmitter with the receiver

– individual operation” on page 29.

Using the operating menu

A special feature of the Sennheiser ew G3 series is the

consistent, intuitive menu structure of transmitters and

receivers. As a result, adjustments to the settings can be

made quickly – even in stressful situations, for example on

stage or during a live show or presentation.

The buttons

Make use of the possibility to adjust settings via the

operating menu of the receiver and to transfer these

settings to the bodypack transmitter.

For more information on how to transfer settings to

the bodypack transmitter, refer to the instruction

manual of your receiver. The relevant information is

marked with the sync icon.
