  Related Questions and Answers

  Q: 1. Is the Sony URX-PO-3D compatible with the sonyUTX-M40?

  A: Yes, the UTX-P40 plug-on transmitter is compatible for use with the URX-P03D dual-channel receiver. Just be sure that both items operate on the same frequency band.

  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. Hello, Can I use this with G4 SK500 Transmitter?

  A: Yes, the Sennheiser EK IEM G4 Stereo Bodypack Receiver can be used with a Sennheiser SK 500 G4 Transmitter that operates within the same frequency band. If you will be using the IEM receiver with a transmitter that is paired with camera-mount or rack-mount receivers, you can turn off the pilot tone on the IEM receiver and manually tune it to the same frequency.

  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. 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: 6. What is the expected battery life when using Phantom Power?

  A: When using the Sony UTX-P40 Wireless Plug-On Transmitter with two standard AA size alkaline batteries and output power is set for 30 or 40mW and phantom power is on, the estimated battery life is approximately 6 hours. With phantom power turned off, the estimated battery life is approximately 8 hours when set for 30mW of output power and approximately 7 hours when output power is set for 40mW.

  Q: 7. Is UTX PO3 compatible with urx po3d?

  A: Yes, the Sony UTX-P40 Wireless Plug-On Transmitter is compatible for use with the Sony URX-P03D Dual-Channel Camera-Mount Wireless Receiver, however, both devices must operate within the same frequency band.

  Q: 8. What is the best frequency band for the US West coast?

  A: There is no one specific frequency band that is best for the US West Coast. The Sony UTX-P40 Wireless Plug-On Transmitters for the UC14 and UC25 bands each have 2,772 auto-scan frequencies within the band. This means that there are 2,772 individual frequencies that the wireless microphone system scans to automatically select the clearest one to use for transmitting audio. The UC90 band has 654 auto-scan frequencies within the band. The UTX-P40 Transmitter will need to be used with a compatible Sony wireless microphone receiver that operates on the same frequency band.

  Q: 9. Will this work with the Senheiser AVX Wireless system? I want to plug this into an MKH416 and record boom audio wirelessly into camera.

  A: No, the Sennheiser SKP 500 G4 Pro Wireless Plug-On Transmitter is not compatible for use with the AVX system. The G4 series is a UHF system (this particular transmitter operates on the 470 to 558 MHz band) while the AVX series is a digital system that operates at 1.9 GHz. Sennheiser does not offer a plug-on transmitter for AVX. The G4 series system is a better option if you need to use a plug-on transmitter that can supply phantom power for your MKH416. The SKP 500 transmitter is available separately or as a complete system with the EK 500 transmitter -- Sennheiser EW 500 BOOM G4 Camera-Mount Wireless Plug-On Microphone System with No Mic - AW+: 470 to 558 MHz (B&H # SEEW500BG4AW).

  Q: 10. 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
