2) Handheld transmitters
Handhelds are the most recognizable of transmit-
ters since they most closely resemble traditional
wired microphones. evolution wireless handheld
transmitters (SKM100G3, SKM300G3, and SK-
M500G3) are specially designed to stand up to the
rigors of live performance and offer exceptional
sound. Sennheiser evolution wireless G3 handheld
transmitters contain user-swappable dynamic
and condenser elements, so one can easily adapt
or upgrade the type of microphone capsule to a
different type.

3) Plug-on transmitters
Plug-on transmitters are unique in that they convert a traditional
wired microphone or line level signal into a wireless device. The
plug-on transmitter in the evolution G3 line is the SKP100G3.
This works for most plug-on applications, but does not provide
48v phantom power to those microphones which require it (see
SKP2000 in the 2000 series for this). Plug-on transmitters are
widely used for on-location newscasts, reality TV, movie sets, and
also for sending outputs from mixing consoles to other Sennheiser
receivers. For example, many wedding videographers ask the DJ or
band if they can plug in their SKP100G3 and as a result send the
sound directly to their camera or audio recording device.

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. If the device is on, the sound and
range are still 100% as you would expect from new batteries regardless of battery level. All evolution
wireless G3 portable transmitters and portable receivers also have charging contacts for use with the
optional BA2015G2 battery and L2015G2 charger (except SKP100G3). For convenience, evolution wire-
less G3 transmitters feature convenient built-in battery gauges that allow the user to see the current
battery level at a glance, so he or she can avoid running out of power. New for G3 is a standard feature
called “battery telemetry” which simply means one can also see how much power is left in the transmit-
ter by looking at an indicator from the receiver. This is extremely valuable for sound engineers who are
curious how fresh the batteries are in a transmitter which may be already in use and not easily acces-
sible.

4) In-ear monitor transmitters (rack mount)
In-ear monitor transmitters accept an audio signal, typically from a mixing console, and send it
wirelessly to a portable receiver which a performer typically wears on their hip. The SR300IEMG3
is the half-rack spaced size transmitter in the evolution wireless G3 series.
