The Shure SLXD3 is a reliable digital wireless plug-on XLR transmitter compatible with the SLXD4, SLXD4D, and SLXD5 receivers. Compact and lightweight, with a robust, all-metal construction and available phantom power, the unit is well suited for tough on-set operating conditions. Attach the handheld dynamic or condenser microphone of your choice for man-on-the-street interviews or connect your favorite shotgun mic for wireless booming (both types of mics are available separately).

• The SLDX3 features a secure, twist-locking XLR connector ready to accommodate a huge variety of microphone options, including handhelds like Shure's VP64 and SM63 models as well as shotguns like the VP82 and VP89 (mics available separately).
• The transmitter offers 12 and 48V phantom power options for condenser microphones.
• Engage the -12 dB pad for use on loud sources or use the +12 dB boost option on low-level sources.
• Use the mic offset gain function to fine-tune the gain and ensure multiple mics are at similar volume levels.
• Engage the 150 Hz high-pass filter to reduce distracting, unwanted low-end for clearer speech.
• The rugged, all-metal transmitter includes a leather case with a belt clip and an OLED screen that shows essential information.
• A selectable 1/10/30mW RF output allows you to increase the transmission power for long distances or to overcome interference, if necessary; the system provides a maximum transmission range up to 330'.
• Two AA batteries (included) or an SB903 rechargeable battery (available separately) will power the unit for up to 8 hours.

• The SLX-D system delivers 24-bit digital audio with a fast transient response, a 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response, and a 118 dB dynamic range, resulting in clear, accurate sound.
• Operating far away from potential Wi-Fi interference in the 2.4 GHz band, this version of the SLXD3 transmits in the H55: 514 to 558 MHz UHF band, with a 44 MHz tuning range and 1760 frequencies available to ensure a clean wireless signal.
• The separately available receivers all feature Digital Predictive Switching Diversity, which uses a microprocessor to switch between the two antennas before dropouts occur.
• A low latency of 3.2 ms helps ensure your sound and picture are easy to properly sync.
• The SLX-D's spectrum-efficient digital transmission technology allows you to expand the system and use up to 32 mics at the same time.
• Great for shoots with several cameras and microphones, the receiver's Multi-Mic Mode lets you scan and create a list of clean frequencies, which you can send to multiple receivers via IR.
• Each receiver will sync to the appropriate transmitter at the touch of a button; settings on the transmitters, including the input gain and high-pass filter are also recalled.
• Multi-Mic Mode makes channel allocation easier and more efficient since the receivers aren’t all auto-scanning and competing for open frequencies.

• Adding the SB903 lithium-ion rechargeable battery, along with an SBC10-903 single charger, SBC203 dual-docking charger, or SBC80-903 8-bay charger offers a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to throwing away AA batteries (batteries and chargers available separately).
• Using the SB903 battery and SBC203 charger simplifies the task of keeping multiple transmitters charged and ready—you can even recharge the battery while still in the transmitter or receiver.
• When powered by an SB903, the components display the remaining battery life in hours and minutes.
• The USB-C port on the transmitter allows for battery recharging and direct powering.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Will this work with the EW100-S3 model?

A: The SKP-100 G4 transmitter will work with EW100 G3 receivers as long as the frequency bands match.

Q: 2. Are there any compatible antennas for this to extend the range?

A: No. The Sennheiser EW 500 BOOM G4 Camera-Mount Wireless Plug-On Microphone System includes the bodypack-style EK 500 G4 Pro Wireless Camera-Mount Receiver, which has an integrated/molded antenna, the receiver cannot be used with an external antenna. If you swap the EK 500 receiver and use the Sennheiser EM 300-500 G4 Wireless Receiver (such as B&H # SEEM3005MGAP for AW+: 470 to 558 MHz frequency band), you will be able to use remote mount antennas or half-wave antennas for extended range. However, the EM 300-500 requires AC power and is not camera-mountable, so that could be a drawback if you need to have a portable, battery-powered system.

Q: 3. Sennheiser EW 100-ENG G2 series and I need to replace the transmitter. Would this G4 version work with the G2 series?

A: Yes they are backwards compatible. NOTE: In order for it to work they should be in the same frequency range, or at least a good portion of the frequencies should be within range of your existing system.

Q: 4. Can I plug line level into the SKP 500?

A: The SKP500 is made for compatibility with dynamic and condenser microphones. You can use the Sennheiser CL2 line cable connected to a Sennheser bodypack transmitter to be able send line level signal out from a mixer into the Sennheiser system.

Q: 5. Can I use this device with xsw2?

A: This is a UHF transmitter, but it is not meant to be used with the XSW series of wireless microphones.

Q: 6. Will this make interference if I have the Sennheiser ew IEM G4 Wireless Monitor System (A1: 470 to 516 MHz) next to me?

A: No, the Sennheiser EW 500 BOOM G4 Camera-Mount Wireless Plug-On Microphone System will not interfere with the Sennheiser ew IEM G4 Wireless Monitor System (A1: 470 to 516 MHz). Each system's transmitter and receiver will pair to a different frequency to use for transmitting audio, so even though the bands overlap, there should be no problems with interference between the two systems.

Q: 7. Can I use a Sennheiser ME II with this if I use an adapter and if so, which adapter?

A: No, the ME 2-II lavalier microphone will not work with the SKP 100 G4 transmitter. The mic requires plug-in power and the SKP 100 plug-on transmitter does not supply any power at all. The Sennheiser SK 100 G4 Wireless Bodypack Transmitter A: 516 to 558 MHz (B&H # SESK100G4A) is the compatible transmitter to use with the ME 2-II. It does have the correct connector for attaching the ME 2-II and also supplies plug-in power for the mic. Just be certain to match the frequency band with your receiver.

Q: 8. Will the model work with the Sennheiser G3 wireless receivers?

A: Yes it will. The G4 series are completely backwards compatible.

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. I just bought this unit. Works great till I plug in headphones then unit gets hot, batteries die, then it turns off. I wait for a minute, don't plug in headphones, all is good. Same batteries. Has anyone seen this before? I have 4 other G4s that are great.

A: Although we have not heard of this issue with the Sennheiser EW 500 BOOM G4 Camera-Mount Wireless Plug-On Microphone System with No Mic before, I would speculate that perhaps the headphones connected require more signal strength than the receiver can provide, or perhaps there is an impedance mismatch. I would recommend trying another pair of headphones to see if the issue persists. If it does, we may need to consult Sennheiser for further clarification on this scenario.
