Care and maintenance Use a slightly damp cloth to clean the radiomicrophone from time to time. Note: Do not use any cleansing agents or solvents. To clean the radiomicrophone’s sound inlet basket, proceed as follows: Unscrew the sound inlet basket (turn counterclockwise) and remove it.
Inserting and charging the accupack ¾ The transmitter can also be powered via the rechargeable Sennheiser BA 2015 accupack. Insert the accupack into the battery compartment as described above. The transmitter has two charging contacts and a sensing contact on its short sides.
Connecting the microphone/line cable The microphone/line input is designed for the connection of both condenser microphones and instruments (e.g. guitars). DC powering of the condenser microphones is via the microphone/line input. Connect the 3.5 mm jack plug from the microphone/line cable to the 3.5 mm jack socket (MIC/LINE) Lock the 3.5 mm jack plug by screwing down the coupling ring Via the operating menu, adjust the sensitivity of the...
Switching the transmitter on/off The transmitter can only be switched off when the standard display is shown on the display panel. When in the operating menu, briefly pressing the ON/OFF button will cancel your entry (ESC function) and return you to the standard display with the last stored settings. Note: Remove the batteries or the accupack when the transmitter will not be used for extended periods of time.

Adjustment tips for the operating menu BANK Switching between channel banks Via the “BANK” menu, you can switch between the transmitter’s nine channel banks. Each of the channel banks “1” to “8” has up to 20 switchable channels that are factory-preset to a transmission frequency.
SENSIT Adjusting the sensitivity Via the “SENSIT” menu, you can adjust the transmitter’s input sensitivity. The input sensitivity is adjusted too high when close talking distances, speakers with loud voices or loud music passages cause overmodulation in the transmission link. When the audio input level is excessively high (AF peak), the level display for audio signal (AF) shows full deflection.
PHANTO Switching the phantom powering on/off (SKP 500 only) The plug-on transmitter can supply condenser microphones without internal power supply with 48 V phantom powering (P 48). The phantom powering can be switched on or off via the “PHANTO” menu. Please note: Dynamic microphones can be operated in phantom powering mode without harm.
With the / buttons you can now select a character. By briefly pressing a button, the display jumps either forwards or backwards to the next character. If you hold down a button, the display starts cycling continuously. Press the button to change to the next segment and select the next character.
Recommendations and tips ... for the receiver EK 1035 Transmission range depends to a large extent on location. There should be a “free line of sight” between transmitting and receiving antennas..for the radiomicrophones Hold the radiomicrophone in the middle of the microphone body. Holding it close to the sound inlet basket will influence the micro- phone’s pick-up pattern, holding it at the lower part of the body will reduce the transmitter’s range.
Inherent noise the RF link Transmitter Receiver This product family is equipped with HDX, the Sennheiser noise reduction system that reduces RF interference. It increases the signal-to-noise ratio in wireless audio transmission to more than 110 dB. is a wideband compander system which compresses the audio signal in the transmitter in a 2:1 ratio (related to dB) to lift it above the inherent noise floor of the RF link.
