2 APPLICABLE FOR USE IN THE U.S. CONSUMER ALERT Most users do not need a license to operate a wireless microphone system. 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[...]

4 W elcome to evolution wireless G3 Wireless microphone and monitoring systems have become standard equipment for musicians, broadcasters, theatre productions, television shows, and sound contractors alike. Sennheiser has been the industry leader in wireless systems for over 50 years, and is proud to bring its Emmy A ward- winning advances in RF (r[...]

www.sennheiserUSA.com/G3 5 The Building Blocks of a Wireless System Every wireless system consists of three main components: 1) T ransmitter The transmitter accepts a (mic or line) input signal, converts it into an RF (radio frequency) signal, and then transmits it. 2) Receiver The receiver picks up the transmitted RF signal, converts it back into [...]

6 The T ransmitter The transmitter has a fairly straightforward job: take a microphone or line-level input signal, convert it into an RF signal, and transmit it. It sounds easy, but there are a number of variables involved in producing accurate and dependable transmissions. Professional events demand reliability and extensive operating range, regar[...]

www.sennheiserUSA.com/G3 7 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, all[...]

8 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 [...]

www.sennheiserUSA.com/G3 9 Wireless Monitoring Systems Wireless monitor systems are quietly revolutionizing live sound. In-ear monitor receivers allow musicians to hear themselves and other instruments while performing, without the need for loud monitor wedges. Monitor systems not only reduce stage volume and the risk of feedback, they also provide[...]

10 Choosing a Wireless System Sennheiser’s evolution wireless G3 line is available in three performance grades – ew 100 G3, ew 300 G3, and ew 500 G3. All three lines are fully compatible, sharing identical RF technology with 1,680 tunable frequencies, 30 mW of output power and T rue Diversity reception on all rackmount receivers. Every componen[...]

G3 systems are sold in sets, containing a matched transmitter and receiver, including: EW 100 G3 EW 300 G3 EW[...]

12 Operation: Frequency Considerations The successful operation of an RF wireless system greatly depends on two things: 1) The frequencies used must avoid interference from competing signals, such as television broadcast. 2) The frequencies used must not interfere with each other. Selected frequencies need to be carefully calculated for sufficient [...]

www.sennheiserUSA.com/G3 17 Frequently Asked Questions Why does my receiver emit a horrible loud static noise when I power off my transmitter? This simply means your wireless system is operating on a frequency that is already in use, most likely by a television station. When the transmitter is on, everything may work fine because the transmitter’[...]

18 Frequently Asked Questions (Continued) What is cable emulation? Cable emulation allows a guitar player to add the effect of cable back into their instrument’s tone. Longer cables add increasing amounts of capacitance, which can “load” the instrument’s pickups. The result is a subtle but pleasing reduction of the instrument’s high frequ[...]
