SKM 3072-U RF Wireless Systems | 3000 Series Hand-Held Transmitters General Description The SKM 3072-U is a hand-held transmitter with super-cardioid condenser microphone head, suitable for both vocal and speech transmission. Up to 32 switchable transmission frequencies in the UHF band.
PAGE 2
SKM 3072-U RF Wireless Systems | 3000 Series Hand-Held Transmitters The SKM 3072-U is Sennheiser’s 3000 series UHF radiomicrophone for stage and broadcasting use. Two interchangeable super-cardioid condenser microphone heads make the SKM 3072-U extremely flexible to use: while the ME 3005 e microphone head is the ideal choice for vocals and close-miking, the ME 3005 head has been tailored to speech and presentations, which generally involve greater microphone distances.
PAGE 3
SKM 3072-U RF Wireless Systems | 3000 Series Hand-Held Transmitters can be replaced and the transmitter will start transmitting normally. The LC display also shows the battery status of the hand-held transmitter. There are two options for powering the SKM 3072-U: choose between a standard 9 V PP3 battery or a rechargeable battery. However, to ensure a longer operating time, we would recommend using a standard PP3 alkaline manganese battery. To insert the battery, unscrew the microphone head.

SKM 3072-U RF Wireless Systems | 3000 Series Hand-Held Transmitters Which microphone head for which application? The SKM 3072-U radiomicrophone can be used with two different microphone heads: j The super-cardioid ME 3005 e condenser microphone head (delivered with the SKM 3072-U) has been designed for close-miking. It features an optimised frequency response curve and a lower sensitivity, making it an ideal choice for vocals and presentations with high ambient noise levels.
