Do not place the device near any heat sources such as radiators, stoves,  
or other devices (including amplifiers) that produce heat.  
Only use attachments/accessories specified by Sennheiser.  
When replacement parts are required, only use replacement parts  
specified by Sennheiser or those having the same characteristics as the  
original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric  
shock, or other hazards.  
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.  
Servicing is required if the device has been damaged in any way, liquid  
has been spilled, objects have fallen inside, the device has been exposed  
to rain or moisture, does not operate properly or has been dropped.

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:  
516 – 558  
Range G:  
566 – 608  
Range B:  
626 – 668  
Range C:  
734 – 776  
Range D:  
780 – 822  
Range E:  
823 – 865  
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  
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 factory-  
preset to a fixed transmission frequency (frequency preset).

Delivery includes  
The factory-preset frequencies within one frequency bank are intermodu-  
lation-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 informa-  
tion sheet can be downloaded from the SKP 100 G3 product page on our  
The frequency bank “U” allows you to freely select and store transmission  
frequencies. It might be that these transmission frequencies are not inter-  
modulation-free.  
Delivery includes  
The packaging contains the following items:  
1 SKP 100 G3 plug-on transmitter  
2 AA size batteries, 1.5 V

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.  
̈ Slide the battery compartment cover ¸ in the direction of the  
embossed arrow and open the cover ¸.  
¸
̈ Insert the two batteries or the accupack as shown below. Please  
observe correct polarity when inserting the batteries/accupack.  
¸
̈ Close the battery compartment.  
The battery compartment cover ¸ locks into place with an audible  
click.  
Charging the accupack  
̈ Remove the BA 2015 accupack (optional accessory).  
̈ 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. Stan-  
dard batteries (primary cells) or individual rechargeable battery  
cells cannot be charged.  
Plugging the plug-on transmitter onto a microphone  
̈ Plug the microphone’s XLR-3M socket onto the transmitter’s XLR-3F  
socket ³.

·
̈ Tighten the locking ring · in the direction of the arrow.  
The transmitter uses the microphone body as an antenna – there-  
fore microphones with a metal casing should be used for best  
signal transmission.

The plug-on transmitter adds an inaudible pilot tone to the audio signal.  
The receiver detects and evaluates the pilot tone, and is thus able to iden-  
tify the signal of the matching transmitter and mute all others. The pilot  
tone supports the receiver’s squelch function.  
Devices of the ew 100 G1 series (generation 1) do not support the pilot  
tone function. Therefore, please observe the following when combining a  
transmitter or receiver of the ew 100 G3 series (generation 3) with devices  
from an earlier evolution wireless generation:

Synchronizing the plug-on transmitter with a receiver  
Synchronizing the plug-on transmitter  
with a receiver  
When synchronizing the plug-on transmitter with a receiver, please  
observe the following:  
̈ Only use a plug-on transmitter and a receiver from the same frequency  
range (see the type plate on the transmitter and the receiver).  
̈ Make sure that the desired frequencies are listed in the enclosed  
frequency information sheet.  
̈ Make sure that the desired frequencies are approved and legal in your  
country and, if necessary, apply for an operating license.  
Synchronizing the plug-on transmitter with the receiver –  
individual operation  
Upon delivery, the plug-on transmitter and the receiver are synchronized  
with each other. If, however, you cannot establish a transmission link  
between plug-on transmitter and receiver, you have to synchronize the  
channels of the devices.  
For information on automatic synchronization of the plug-on transmitter  
with the receiver (individual operation), refer to the instruction manual of  
the receiver. This information is marked with the  
icon.  
Alternatively, you can set the channel on the plug-on transmitter  
manually:  
̈ Make sure that you set the plug-on transmitter to the same frequency  
bank and the same channel as the receiver (see page 13).  
If you still cannot establish a transmission link, refer to the chapter “If a  
problem occurs ...” on page 19.  
Synchronizing plug-on transmitters with receivers –  
multi-channel operation  
Combined with ew 100 G3 receivers, ew 100 G3 plug-on transmitters can  
form transmission links that can be used in multi-channel systems. In  
order to ensure an intermodulation-free transmission, use the same  
frequency bank for all transmission links.  
For information on automatic synchronization of plug-on transmitters  
with receivers (multi-channel operation), refer to the instruction manual  
of your receiver. For more information on multi-channel operation, visit

Cleaning the plug-on transmitter  
Cleaning the plug-on transmitter  
CAUTION! Liquids can damage the electronics of the plug-on  
transmitter!  
Liquids entering the housing of the device can cause a  
short-circuit and damage the electronics.  
̈ Keep all liquids away from the plug-on transmitter.  
̈ Use a slightly damp cloth to clean the plug-on transmitter from time to  
time. Do not use any solvents or cleansing agents.  
Recommendations and tips  
... for the plug-on transmitter  
For best results, make sure that the transmitter sensitivity is correctly  
adjusted.  
... for optimum reception  
Transmission range depends to a large extent on location and can vary  
from about 10 m to about 150 m. There should be a “free line of sight”  
between plug-on transmitter and receiving antennas.  
To avoid overloading the receiver, observe a minimum distance of 5 m  
between plug-on transmitter and receiving antennas.  
The plug-on transmitter uses the microphone body as an antenna –  
therefore microphones with a metal casing should be used for best  
signal transmission.  
... for multi-channel operation  
When operating a multi-channel system, you should only use the  
channels within one frequency bank. Each of the frequency banks “1”  
to “20” accommodates factory-preset frequencies which are inter-  
modulation-free.  
When using several transmitters simultaneously, interference can be  
avoided by maintaining a minimum distance of 20 cm between two  
transmitters.
