The Launcher from Soyuz Microphones is a clean booster for one dynamic microphone, designed to give it more gain if your mic preamp isn't giving you a strong enough mic level without imparting unwanted noise. However, unlike other clean boosters, the Launcher is not designed to give you a clean gain boost. Instead, it boosts while imparting a vintage, analog sound, reminiscent of a classic console.

Use this booster with PAs or recording interfaces alike. If you're rocking a dynamic microphone for your voice or instrument, this can go a long way to adding color in otherwise characterless signal paths. The Launcher sports a custom hand-wound transformer and proprietary circuit for this purpose.

You'll find a 3-pin XLR input at one end, and a 3-pin XLR output at the other. The Launcher gives you a gain boost of 26 dB, and is powered over phantom power from the PA or interface. Weighing less than 1 lb, the Launcher also quite portable.

Q: 1. Greetings, I would like to know if the SKP 100 G4 is compatible with an older G3 transmitter in G band. I wish to send the audio output from a Sound Devices MM-1 preamp connected to a Sennheiser ME-66 mic (line output level). Will this work fine without an attenuator? Thank you.

A: Yes the Sennheiser SKP 100 G4 in G-band will work with a Sennheiser ME66 and G3 receiver in G-band.

Q: 2. Work with shotgun mic?

A: Hello Don - the SKP 100 G4 will work with shotgun microphones that feature battery power, such as the Sennheiser MKE 600. If you'd like to use this transmitter with a microphone that requires phantom power, please look into the SKP 500 G4 as this will provide +48V for shotguns like the MKH 416 and MKH 8060. Please note that this item is a transmitter and you'll need a full system, including a receiver, for your shoot.

Q: 4. Will the SKP 500 G4 transmitter provide phantom power to the XLR mic?

A: Yes, the Sennheiser SKP 500 G4 Wireless Plug-On Transmitter (B&H # SESKP500G4AW or B&H # SESKP500G4G1) will supply phantom power to a condenser mic with XLR output. Since you posted your question on the item page for the Sennheiser SKP 100 G4 Plug-On Transmitter for Dynamic Microphones (B&H # SESKP100G4A), please be aware that the SKP 100 does not supply any voltage so it cannot be used for condenser mics and can only be used with dynamic microphones (which do not require any voltage) or condenser microphones that use a battery for power.

Q: 5. Hi, what is the range of microphone diameters that the Auray MC-22SN can accommodate?

A: The manufacturer has not provided any specifications regarding the diameter of the microphone handles that the Auray MC-22SN Elliptical-Style Mic Clip will accommodate. The MC-22SN is intended for use with a dynamic wired onstage microphone that has a tapered handle, such as the Shure SM58.

Q: 6. 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: 7. Will the model work with the Sennheiser G3 wireless receivers?

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

Q: 8. I saw no serial number and model number was printed on the microphone

A: The information is written around the top and bottom portions of the mic handle.

Q: 9. 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: 10. Will this work with the AVX system? If not is there any similar product that will?

A: Unfortunately it will not. They are in 2 different frequency blocks. There is nothing like this transmitter for the AVX. If you need one you can get a Rode wireless that has only a mic plug and a receiver. This is the B&H part number B&H # RONSH.
