Product Overview
The Sennheiser SKP 500 G4 is a professional plug-on wireless transmitter with 48V phantom power, designed to make any XLR microphone—including condenser mics—part of an Evolution Wireless G4 500 Series system. Operating in the AW+ band (470–558 MHz), it is the ideal choice for ENG journalists and production crews who need to go wireless with their existing condenser or dynamic microphones. Available at Creation Networks.
Product Description
The SKP 500 G4 is the premium plug-on transmitter in Sennheiser's G4 lineup, distinguished by its ability to supply 48V phantom power to condenser microphones connected via XLR. This makes it uniquely versatile: connect any dynamic or condenser mic with an XLR output and instantly make it wireless. Operating in the AW+ band (470–558 MHz) with an 88 MHz tuning range, it offers up to 32 compatible channels for use in multi-channel productions. The locking XLR connector secures firmly to the host microphone, preventing accidental disconnection during live use or in the field. A menu-driven display on the transmitter allows frequency selection, audio level adjustment, and battery monitoring. The SKP 500 G4 runs on AA batteries for convenient power in the field. HD Clear Audio mode delivers extended dynamic range audio transmission. Compatible with EM 300-500 G4 rackmount receivers and EK 500 G4 camera receivers in the AW+ band.
