Sennheiser W100 manual Evolution wireless series ew 100 G2, Channel bank system

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

yfurther optimized PLL synthesizer and microprocessor technology,

ythe HDX noise reduction system,

ythe pilot tone squelch control,

ythe true diversity technology (rack-mount receiver only)

yand 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

ythe systems are ready for immediate use after switch-on,

yseveral systems can be operated simultaneously on the preset channels without causing intermodulation interference.
