The SK 300 G3 bodypack transmitter The SK 300 G3 bodypack transmitter The SK 300 G3 bodypack transmitter is part of the evolution wireless series generation 3 (ew G3). With this series, Sennheiser offers high-quality state-of-the-art RF transmission systems with a high level of operational reliability and ease of use. Transmitters and receivers permit wireless transmission with studio-quality sound.
The SK 300 G3 bodypack transmitter Areas of application The bodypack transmitter can be combined with the EM 300 G3 rackmount receiver. The EM 300 G3 rack-mount receiver is available in the same UHF frequency ranges and is equipped with the same frequency bank system. This has the advantage that • a transmission system is ready for immediate use after switch-on, • several transmission systems can be operated simultaneously on the preset frequencies without causing intermodulation interference.
Delivery includes Delivery includes The packaging contains the following items: 1 SK 300 G3 bodypack transmitter 2 AA size batteries, 1.
