The SKM 500 G3 radio microphone family
The SKM 500 G3
radio microphone family
This radio microphone 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 500 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
·
Interchangeable microphone heads, allowing the use of
different pick-up patterns and sensitivities
The frequency bank system
The radio microphone is available in 6 UHF frequency
ranges with 1,680 transmission frequencies per frequency
range:
Each frequency range (A­E, G) offers 26 frequency banks
with up to 32 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.

The SKM 500 G3 radio microphone family
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 SKM 500 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 radio microphone can be combined with the EM 500 G3
rack-mount receiver.
The EM 500 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.
Overview of the microphone heads:
The name and pick-up pattern of the microphone head are
printed on the sound inlet basket of the radio microphone.
