Nevertheless, operat- ing a microphone system without a license is subject to certain restrictions: the system may not cause harmful interference; it must operate at a low power level (not in excess of 50 milliwatts); and it has no protection from interference received from any other device.

Page 4: Introduction
Emmy Award-winning advances in the field of RF wireless technol- ogy. Sennheiser is proud to apply that same technology to the evolution wireless range of products which fit comfortably into virtually any budget. Traditionally, most wireless systems have offered the user a choice of fixed frequencies within a range of available VHF or UHF frequencies. -
Page 5: The Parts Of A Wireless System
The Parts of a Wireless System Every wireless system consists of at least three parts: 1) Transmitter A transmitter which accepts the source input signal (mic or line), converts it into an RF (radio frequency) signal, and transmits it to the receiver.

Page 6: The Transmitter
RF signal reaches the receiver, it is re-converted into analog audio (using reciprocal receiver-side HDX™ technology) with stunning accuracy and quality. This results in audio that sounds as good as that of a wired microphone. As a result, Sennheiser G3 systems have an amazing frequency response of 25 Hz to 18 KHz (line). - Page 7 Since portable wireless transmitters are meant to roam around, they require battery power in order to work. Users should always use quality alkaline batteries for full power and longevity. Sennheiser’s battery technology in evolution wireless products maintains a constant system voltage; therefore there is zero performance degradation as the batteries run down from use.

Page 8: The Receiver
True Diversity receiver typically costs more to design and manufacture than other “antenna switching” diversity systems, however Sennheiser has always been committed to bringing you the very best. Another quality which distinguishes evolution wireless G3 receivers is their robust metal construction. In order to protect the sophisticated electronics inside and to provide professional road worthiness, evolu- tion receivers are housed in metal, rather than in the plastic shells used in many other wireless systems. - Page 9 While digital wireless systems do not contain a compander circuit, they are subject to limited channels of operation due to the larger required bandwidth of the transmission link. Sennheiser HDX™ offers near-perfect audio reproduction while remaining flexible to have numerous channels operating simulta- neously.

Engineers will love the built-in Ethernet port for computer control with Sennheiser WSM software for both PC and Mac computers. The unique Focus feature allows you to switch between standard stereo (2-channel) monitoring and Focus Mode, which provides limited mixing capabilities (the ability for performers to pan between their vocals and the instrumentation, for instance). -
Page 11: Accessorizing A Wireless System
HDX™-enabled Sennheiser components. Because of the flexibility of HDX™, all evolution components are compatible with one another regardless of generation (G1/G2/G3) as long as you can tune to the same frequency. -
Page 12: Frequency Concerns
RF interference including their frequencies), as well as a functional frequency coordina- tion scheme (using the BANK system) are very important when planning a wireless microphone system. Sennheiser’s website ( HYPERLINK “http://www.sennheiserusa.com” www.sennheiserusa.com) has an interactive frequency finder which can assist you in finding which local TV stations are broadcasting in your area. - Page 13 steps for Auto Tuning evolution wireless G3 systems 1. On the receiver, press SET to enter menu. Press up/down buttons to select “Easy Setup”. Press SET and choose “Scan New List.” Press SET to start scan. 2. After the scan is completed the receiver will suggest a BANK to choose with the most free channels. Press SET.

How To use the following charts These charts represent the tuning scheme of each range and are for reference in determining the suit- ability of a particular range for your geographic location. Transmitters and receivers are available in a 42 MHz UHF frequency range with a total of 1,680 transmis- sion/receiving frequencies. - Page 15 • ew 100 G3 series: the first 12 channels in a frequency bank • ew 300 G3 series: the first 24 channels in a frequency bank • ew 500 G3 series: max. 32 channels in a frequency bank The following factory-preset default settings can be recalled any time via the Reset menu item: Auto Lock inactive, Sensitivity SK –30 dB - SKM –18 dB, RF Power standard (ew 300, ew 500), Mute Mode AF On/Off (SK: all, SKM: 300), Squelch low/5 dBμV, AF Out EM +18 dB, EK 0 dB, Equalizer flat, Guitar Tuner inactive (ew 100, ew 500), Name name of the series, Pilot Tone will not be reset, User banks “U”...

Page 24: Frequently Asked Questions
Keep in mind that most G3 portable components have charging contacts for use with the Sennheiser BA2015G2 battery pack and L2015G2/NT charger. It should be known that these contacts will not function with any other battery pack except the BA2015G2. - Page 25 Why doesn’t my right angle Ci1-R cable work with my new G3 system? The Ci1-R cable which was sold for G2 was manufactured for Sennheiser by a 3rd party and it was re- cently discovered that the cable did not meet our exact wiring specification. While this worked fine for G2, it will not work satisfactorily for G3.
