Sennheiser SKP 500 G4 Plug-on transmitter

General Description

Sennheiser SKP 500 G4 plug-on transmitter allows any professional dynamic handheld microphone to be used as a radio microphone.

Evolution wireless has been the industry standard for flexibility, ease of use and reliability for wireless microphone systems for years and the new and improved G4 system looks to continue this trend.

The SKP 500 G4 adapts G4 wireless technology to wired microphones. Simply plug in the SKP 500 Plug on transmitter to a three pin XLR wired microphone to turn it into a wireless handheld microphone. Maybe you would like to send a signal from a mixing console to a Sennheiser evolution G4 receiver across the room? No problem. Featuring G4 upgrades such as wireless transmitter sync and easy-to-navigate menus, the SKP 500 G4 is ready to literally plug in and play.

The wireless Sennheiser G4 ew 500 range is available in the following frequency ranges:

Range Aw+ = 470 - 558 MHz
Range Gw = 558 - 626 MHz 
Range GBw = 606 - 678 MHz
Range Bw = 626 - 698 MHz 
Range Cw = 718 - 790 MHz 
Range Dw = 790 - 865 MHz

Only Range GBw (channel 38) and Range Dw (channel 70) systems are available for purchase on the online shop. The other frequency ranges are available by special request for fixed site licence applications. Range GBw includes Channel 38 which is the most reliable solution for portable wireless microphone systems. (Please Note. Channel 38 use requires a licence.
