Product Overview
The Sennheiser SKM 500 G4 is a premium professional handheld wireless transmitter for the Evolution Wireless G4 500 Series, sold without a microphone capsule for maximum flexibility. Operating in the GW1 band (558–608 MHz), it combines robust RF performance with smooth handling ergonomics for demanding live performance and broadcast applications. Available at Creation Networks alongside compatible G4 capsules sold separately.
Product Description
The SKM 500 G4 handheld transmitter sits at the top of the Evolution Wireless G4 handheld lineup, offering the most powerful RF output, widest frequency agility, and finest audio quality of the G4 handheld range. Operating in the GW1 band with a 50 MHz tuning range and up to 32 compatible simultaneous channels, it is built for complex multi-channel live productions. The transmitter body accepts any standard G3/G4 capsule, so audio engineers can select the optimal polar pattern and capsule technology for each application. HD Clear Audio mode transmits with extended dynamic range and minimal compression, delivering studio-grade audio quality from the stage. The ergonomic grip and balanced weight distribution make it comfortable for extended vocal performances. The front panel display provides clear readouts of frequency, audio sensitivity, and battery status. AA battery operation or the optional BA 2015 NiMH rechargeable pack provides multi-hour runtime.
