Sennheiser SKP 100 G4 Plug on transmitter for dynamic microphones (no phantom power)

Product Overview

The Sennheiser SKP 100 G4 is a professional plug-on transmitter for dynamic microphones, allowing any microphone with an XLR connector to become part of an Evolution Wireless G4 system. With no phantom power, it is specifically designed for use with dynamic microphones. It converts the XLR output of any dynamic mic into a G4 wireless signal, enabling wireless operation without a dedicated wireless capsule. Available at Creation Networks for journalists, stage performers, and AV integrators.

Product Description

The SKP 100 G4 plug-on transmitter mounts directly onto the XLR output of any standard dynamic microphone, instantly converting it into a wireless G4 transmitter. This makes it an incredibly versatile tool for ENG journalists who need to go wireless with their existing Sennheiser MD or other dynamic microphones, or for any application where a standard microphone needs wireless freedom. Operating across the G4 frequency range, it supports the same true diversity reception as the full G4 system. The transmitter includes a locking mechanism to secure it firmly to the microphone's XLR connector, preventing accidental disconnection during performance. A menu-driven display provides access to frequency selection, audio sensitivity, and operating status. Note that the SKP 100 G4 does not supply phantom power and is therefore compatible only with dynamic microphones. It operates on AA batteries and provides multi-hour battery life suitable for live performances and extended field recording sessions.
