Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can the 48v Phantom Power be switched off if not needed?

A: Yes, the 48v phantom power can be turned off for dynamic microphones.

Q: 2. I have a G4 Receiver with 558-626MHz. Can I use the GW1 Transmitter with 558-608MHz?

A: Yes, you can use your G4 receiver with the Sennheiser SKP 500 G4 Pro Wireless Plug-On Transmitter GW1: (558 to 608 MHz) but you will be limited in the frequency channels that you can use to sync the transmitter and receiver. It is always recommended to use a transmitter and receiver in the same frequency band, for the most available frequency channels and best results.

Q: 3. Can I use with MKH 70?

A: Hello Mikhail - the SKP 500 is capable of providing the 48V Phantom Power required by the MKH 70; please note that the SKP 500 is a transmitter only and you'll need to pair it with a receiver (i.e. EK 500 G4) or purchase a system (i.e. EW 500 BOOM G4) to ensure you have all the appropriate products for a successful shoot.

Q: 4. Is this SKP 500 G4 plug-on transmitter compatible with the EK 100 G4 Receiver (instead of the EK 500), or with an older G3 receiver?

A: Yes, the SKP 500 G4 plug-on transmitter is compatible for use with the EK 100 G4 receiver or an older G3 receiver, but only if the components operate on the same frequency band.

Q: 5. WHAT RECEIVER DO I NEED FOR THIS?

A: Ideally you will get the EK500 receiver (for portable/camera work) or the EM500 for rack mount). It is also compatible with the 100 and 300 EW Evolution receivers, but in that case, not all frequencies of the transmitter will be available on the receiver. If you want it for camera work, this transmitter is also sold as a kit with a receiver, or as a kit with a receiver, body pack transmitter, MKE2 lav. Item# SEEW500BG4G1 and Item# SEEW500FILM1

Q: 6. How do I choose between the AW+ and GW1 models?

A: If you are using this in USA, and you are only using a few wireless systems on set, either of the frequency ranges which we carry of the Sennheiser EW 500 G4 wireless microphone systems will work reliably for you. If you are using many systems on one location, you will get best results by dividing between the available ranges. If you need something that can work internationally, please contact us so we can help you find the best option.

Q: 7. Hi, I would like to wirelessly place a boom with With 48V Phantom Power to a 100 G3. The 100 G3 does not support 48V Phantom Power. There would be no problem receiving the signal with the boom from the SKP 500 G4 Pro to the 100 G3. in the camera?

A: Although hard to confirm without actually testing, it can be theorized that the Sennheiser SKP 500 G4 Pro Wireless Plug-On Transmitter AW+: (470 to 558 MHz) will properly send signal to a Sennheiser EK 100 G3 Receiver, assuming both units are set to the same frequency.

Q: 8. I have the Sennheiser EW 112P G3-B Omni-directional EW system. Will this work with the G3 receiver?

A: Hi Brian - while Evolution Wireless G4 is backward compatible with EW G3, the products need to operate within the same frequency range. Your current product is the EW 112P G3 in the B-Range, which is 626-668MHz and the AW+ range of this SKP 500 is 470 - 558MHz, so they wouldn't be compatible. The larger issue is that the FCC has effectively banned wireless devices in the 600MHz range, effective July 13, 2020 - to help offset the costs of transitioning to new, legal devices, Sennheiser is offering a rebate on the trade-in of 600MHz products and the EW 112P G4 sets are also on sale through the end of April 2020 at B&H.

Q: 9. Will theSennheiser SKP 500 G4 transmitter work with my sennheiser EK 100 G3 reciever?

A: Yes. You can use an SKP 500 G4 Plugon transmitter with an EK100 G3 receiver together, as long as their frequency ranges overlap.

Q: 10. Can I use this plug on for a Rode NTG3 mic and a Sennheiser EK 100 G3 Wireless Receiver (G: 566-608)? Thank you.

A: You sure can.
