The evolution wireless series ew 100 G2
With the evolution wireless series ew 100 G2, Sennheiser offers musicians,
video and sound amateurs high-quality state-of-the-art RF transmission sys-
tems 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 100 G2 series is based on the use
of
further optimized PLL synthesizer and microprocessor technology,
the HDX noise reduction system,
the pilot tone squelch control,
the true diversity technology (rack-mount receiver only)
and the scan function for scanning the channel banks for free channels.
The channel bank system
The ew 100 G2 systems are available in five UHF frequency ranges with 1440
transmission/receiving frequencies per frequency range. Please note: Fre-
quency 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:
518 to 554 MHz
Range B:
626 to 662 MHz
Range C:
740 to 776 MHz
Range D:
786 to 822 MHz
Range E:
830 to 866 MHz
Transmitters and receivers have nine channel banks with four switchable
channels each.
The channel banks "1" to "8" have four switchable channels that are factory-
preset to a transmission/receiving frequency (see enclosed frequency table).
These transmission/receiving 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) has four switchable channels
to store your selection out of 1440 transmission/receiving frequencies that
are freely selectable within the preset frequency range.
An advantage of the factory-preset frequencies is that
the systems are ready for immediate use after switch-on,
several systems can be operated simultaneously on the preset channels
without causing intermodulation interference.
