The SKP 500 G2 plug-on
transmitter
The SKP 500 G2 plug-on transmitter is part of the evolution
wireless series ew 500 G2. With this series, Sennheiser
offers high-quality state-of-the-art RF transmission systems
with a high level of operational reliability and ease of use.
Transmitters and receivers permit wireless transmission with
studio-quality sound. The excellent transmission reliability
of the ew 500 G2 series is based on the use of
y further optimized PLL synthesizer and microprocessor
technology,
y the HDX noise reduction system,
y and the pilot tone squelch control.
The channel bank system
The plug-on transmitter is available in five UHF frequency
ranges with 1440 transmission frequencies per frequency
range. Please note: Frequency usage is different for each
country. Your Sennheiser agent will have all the necessary
details on the available legal frequencies for your area.
Range A:
Range B:
Range C:
Range D:
Range E:
518 to 554 MHz
626 to 662 MHz
740 to 776 MHz
786 to 822 MHz
830 to 866 MHz
The plug-on transmitter has nine channel banks with up to
20 switchable channels each.

Each of the channels in the channel banks “1” to “8” has
been factory-preset to a transmission frequency (see
enclosed frequency table). These transmission frequencies
cannot be changed but have been preset so that e.g.
country-specific regulations on frequency usage are taken
into account.
The channel bank “U” (user bank) allows you to store your
selection out of 1440 transmission frequencies that are
freely selectable within the preset frequency range.

Safety instructions
Never open an electronic unit! If units are opened by
customers in breach of this instruction, the warranty
becomes null and void.
Use the unit in dry rooms only.
Use a damp cloth for cleaning the unit. Do not use any
cleansing agents or solvents.
Delivery includes
The packaging contains the following items:
y 1 SKP 500 G2 plug-on transmitter
y 2 batteries
y Instructions for use
y 1 POP 1 Plug-on pouch
Suitable microphones (to be ordered separately) for the
plug-on transmitter:
y Dynamic microphones
y Condenser microphones with internal power supply
y Condenser microphones with 48 V phantom powering
5
Areas of application
The plug-on transmitter can be combined with receivers of
the ew 500 G2 series (EM 500 G2 rack-mount receiver or
EK 500 G2 bodypack receiver). The receivers are available in
the same five UHF frequency ranges and are equipped with
the same channel bank system with factory-preset
frequencies. An advantage of the factory-preset
frequencies is that
y a transmission system is ready for immediate use after
switch-on,
y several transmission systems can be operated
simultaneously on the preset frequencies without
causing intermodulation interference.
Together with a matching receiver and a microphone, the
plug-on transmitter is suitable for the following areas of
application:

Preparing the plug-on
transmitter for use
Inserting and replacing the batteries
For powering the plug-on transmitter, you can either use
two 1.5 V AA size batteries or the rechargeable Sennheiser
BA 2015 accupack.
̈ Slide the battery compartment cover ᕩ in the direction
of the embossed arrow until it clicks audibly and open
the cover.
¾
̈ Insert the two batteries or the BA 2015 accupack as
shown below. Please observe correct polarity when
inserting the batteries/accupack.
¾
̈ Close the battery compartment. The battery
compartment cover ᕩ locks into place with an audible
click.
Note:
For accupack operation of the transmitter, only use the
BA 2015 accupack in order to ensure optimum
operational reliability. For charging the accupack, only
use the L 2015 charger. Both the accupack and the
charger are available as accessories.
The accupack is fitted with an integrated sensor which is
– via a third contact – monitored by the electronics of
the plug-on transmitter and the charger. The sensor is
necessary for the following control purposes:
y The taking into account of the different voltage
characteristics of primary cells (batteries) and
accupacks. The battery status indications on the
displays, the transmission of transmitter battery
status information to the rack-mount receivers and
the switch-off thresholds at the end of the operating
10
time are corrected correspondingly. Due to the
missing sensor, individual rechargeable battery cells
will not be identified as accupacks.
y The monitoring of the accupack temperature during
charging in the L 2015 charger.
Plugging the plug-on transmitter onto a
microphone
̈ Plug the transmitter’s XLR-3F socket ᕡ onto the
microphone’s XLR-3M socket.
³
·
̈ Tighten the locking ring ᕢ as shown.
Note:
The transmitter uses the microphone body as an
antenna – therefore only microphones with a metal
casing should be used for best signal transmission.

Adjustment tips for the
operating menu
Switching between channel banks – BANK
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 (see “The
channel bank system” on page 4). The channel bank “U”
(user bank) has up to 20 switchable channels to store your
selection out of 1440 transmission frequencies that are
freely selectable within the preset frequency range.
When switching from one channel bank to another, the
channel with the lowest channel number is automatically
displayed.
Switching between the channels in a channel
bank – CHAN
Via the “CHAN” menu, you can switch between the different
channels in a channel bank. When switching between the
channels, please observe the following:
Always set the transmitter and the receiver of a
transmission link to the same channel.
Multi-channel operation
Combined with ew 500 G2 receivers, the transmitter can
form transmission links that can be used in multi-channel
systems. For multi-channel operation, only use the free
channels in a channel bank.
Before putting the transmission links into operation, we
recommend performing an auto scan (see operating
manual of the receiver).
Selecting the frequencies to be stored
in the channel bank “U” – TUNE
Via the “TUNE” menu, you can select the frequencies to be
stored in the channel bank “U” (user bank).
When you have selected one of the channel banks “1” to
“8” and then select the “TUNE” menu, the transmitter
automatically switches to channel 01 of the channel bank
“U”. In this case, “U.01” briefly appears on the display.
19
̈ Use the ̆/̄ buttons to select the desired transmission
frequency. Transmission frequencies are tunable in
25-kHz steps within a switching bandwidth of 36 MHz
max. For intermodulation-free frequencies, please refer
to the enclosed frequency table.
Adjusting the sensitivity – SENSIT
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” ቩ shows full deflection.
ቩ
If, on the other hand, the sensitivity is adjusted too low, the
transmission link will be undermodulated, which would
result in a signal with high background noise.
The sensitivity is correctly adjusted when the level display
for audio signal “AF” ቩ shows full deflection only during
the loudest passages.
Note:
For monitoring the adjusted sensitivity, the transmitter’s
level display for audio signal “AF” always indicates the
audio level – even if the transmitter is muted.
The following figures are a guide to the best settings:
y Loud music/vocals:
y Presentations:
y Interviews:
–30 to –20 dB
–20 to –10 dB
–10 to 0 dB
In order to be able to use highly sensitive directional
condenser microphones, the plug-on transmitter offers a
sensitivity range extended by 20 dB.
With the transmitter plugged onto a directional condenser
microphone, the following figures are a guide to the best
settings:
y Loud music/vocals: –50 to –40 dB
y Presentations:
–40 to –30 dB
–30 to –20 dB
y Interviews:
20
Switching the phantom powering
on/off – PHANTO
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. However, if no condenser microphone
module is being used, you should switch off the phantom
powering. With the phantom powering switched on, the
operating time of the batteries or the BA 2015 accupack
will be reduced.
Selecting the standard display – DISLPY
Via the “DISPLY” menu, you can select the standard display:
Selectable
standard display
Contents of standard
display
“FREQ”
“NAME”
“CHAN”
Entering a name – NAME
Via the “NAME” menu, you can enter a freely selectable
name for the transmitter. You can, for example, enter the
name of the performer for whom the adjustments have
been made.
The name can be displayed on the standard display and can
consist of up to six characters such as:
y letters (without pronounciation marks),
y numbers from 0 to 9,
y special characters e.g. () - . _ and spaces.
To enter a name, proceed as follows:
̈ Press the SET button to get into the setting mode of the
“NAME” menu. The first segment starts flashing on the
display.
̈ 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.
21
̈ Press the SET button to change to the next segment and
select the next character.
̈ Have you entered the name completely? Press the SET
button to store your setting and to return to the top
menu level.
Loading the factory-preset default
settings – RESET
Via the “RESET” menu, you can load the factory-preset
default settings. Only the selected setting for the pilot tone
remains unchanged. After the reset, the transmitter is
restarted and the standard display is shown on the display
panel.
Activating/deactivating the pilot tone
transmission – PILOT
Via the “PILOT” menu, you can activate or deactivate the
pilot tone transmisssion.
The pilot tone supports the receiver’s squelch function
(Squelch) and protects against interference due to RF
signals from other units. The transmitter adds an inaudible
signal, known as the pilot tone, to the transmitted signal.
The receiver detects and evaluates the pilot tone, and is
thus able to identify the signal of the matching transmitter
and mute all others.
Transmitters of the ew 500 series (first generation) do not
transmit a pilot tone and the receivers of the ew 500 series
(first generation) cannot evaluate the pilot tone.
Nevertheless, you can combine the plug-on transmitter
with a receiver of the first generation. However, when
combining units, please observe the following:
y With the ew 500 G2 plug-on transmitter and an ew 500 G2
receiver:
Activate the pilot tone function with both transmitter and
receiver.
y With the ew 500 G2 plug-on transmitter and an ew 500
receiver or vice versa:
Deactivate the pilot tone function with the ew 500 G2
transmitter or receiver.
22
Activating/deactivating the lock mode – LOCK
Via the “LOCK” menu, you can activate or deactivate the
lock mode.
The lock mode prevents that the transmitter is accidentally
programmed or switched off during operation. The lock
mode icon ቨ on the display indicates that the lock mode is
activated.
ቨ
To deactivate the lock mode, first press the SET button and
then press the ̆/̄ buttons to select “LOC.OFF”. If you
confirm your selection by pressing the SET button, the
buttons can be operated as usual.
Exiting the operating menu – EXIT
Via the “EXIT” menu, you can exit the operating menu and
return to the standard display.

Recommendations and tips
... for the plug-on transmitter
y Use microphones with
a
metal casing, since the
transmitter uses the microphone body as an antenna.
y You can vary the bass reproduction by increasing/
decreasing the talking distance.
y For best results, make sure that the transmitter
sensitivity is correctly adjusted.
... for optimum reception
y Transmission range depends to a large extent on location
and can vary from about 10 m to about 150 m. There
should be a “free line of sight” between transmitting and
receiving antennas.
y To avoid overmodulating the receiver, observe
a
minimum distance of 5 m between transmitting and
receiving antennas.
... for multi-channel operation
y For multi-channel operation, you can only use the
channels in a channel bank. Each of the channel banks “1”
to “8” accommodates up to 20 factory-preset frequencies
which are intermodulation-free. For alternative frequency
combinations, please refer to the enclosed frequency
table. The freely selectable frequencies can be selected
via the “TUNE” menu and can be stored in the channel
bank “U”.
y When using several transmitters simultaneously,
interference can be avoided by maintaining a minimum
distance of 20 cm between two transmitters.
Care and maintenance
Use a slightly damp cloth to clean the transmitter from time
to time.
Note:
Do not use any cleansing agents or solvents.

Warranty regulations
The guarantee period for this Sennheiser product is 24 months from the date
of purchase. Excluded are accessory items, rechargeable or disposable batte-
ries that are delivered with the product; due to their characteristics these pro-
ducts have a shorter service life that is principally dependent on the individual
frequency of use.
The guarantee period starts from the date of original purchase. For this reason,
we recommend that the sales receipt be retained as proof of purchase. Wit-
hout this proof (which is checked by the responsible Sennheiser service part-
ner) you will not be reimbursed for any repairs that are carried out.
Depending on our choice, guarantee service comprises, free of charge, the
removal of material and manufacturing defects through repair or replacement
of either individual parts or the entire device. Inappropriate usage (e.g. opera-
ting faults, mechanical damages, incorrect operating voltage), wear and tear,
force majeure and defects which were known at the time of purchase are exclu-
ded from guarantee claims. The guarantee is void if the product is manipulated
by non-authorised persons or repair stations.
In the case of a claim under the terms of this guarantee, send the device, inclu-
ding acces-sories and sales receipt, to the responsible service partner. To mini-
mise the risk of transport damage, we recommend that the original packaging
is used. Your legal rights against the seller, resulting from the contract of sale,
are not affected by this guarantee.
The guarantee can be claimed in all countries outside the U.S. provided that no
national law limits our terms of guarantee.
