Page 6: The Transmitter
Professional events demand reliability and extensive operating range, regardless of conditions. Sennheiser’s evolution wireless G3 transmitters meet that challenge with 30 mW of output power, which can deliver approximately 300 feet of operating range (line of sight) in a good RF environment. -
Page 7: The Receiver
Sennheiser’s G3 portable transmitters can operate for up to 8 hours on a pair of AA batteries. Audio and RF transmission quality is never compromised as batteries run down, thanks to dedicated circuitry that maintains a constant internal system voltage. G3 transmitters also relay battery strength to their receivers, allowing sound engineers to remotely monitor battery life at a glance. -
Page 8: Antennas
Antennas For basic wireless applications, the supplied antenna rods provide excellent results. For more complicated systems, remote antennas can further enhance reliability and reception. There are two common remote antennas used for multi-channel systems: 1) Omnidirectional antennas Omnidirectional antennas, such as the passive A1031-U, receive or radiate UHF signals in a circular, ‘donut’... -
