(Old Lyme, CT) Sennheiser announces the second generation of its top-of-the-line
wireless handheld transmitter, the SKM 5200-II. A familiar sight on stage and
TV, the SKM 5200-II provides sound engineers with expanded switching bandwidth
of up to 184 MHz along with Sennheiser’s renowned transmission reliability.
A further highlight is its “Low Intermodulation” mode, which increases
the number of usable channels in crowded RF environments.
The SKM 5200-II joins Sennheiser's other new additions to its wideband wireless
systems, including the SK 5212-II bodypack transmitter and the EM 3732-II receiver
family. With wide switching bandwidth, these models are ideal for traveling
productions and demanding multi-channel applications.
“The new SKM 5200-II wireless handheld offers the widest switching bandwidth
available on the market,” explained Kevin Waehner, product specialist
for professional products at Sennheiser’s U.S. headquarters. “On
the RF side, our second generation handheld features outstanding transmission
reliability and nearly five times the original switching bandwidth, extended
from 36 MHz up to 184 MHz. With selectable output power and a new 'Low Intermodulation'
mode, the transmitter provides a minimum of 7 hours of operating time. On the
audio side, optimum sound quality is achieved with premium Sennheiser and Neumann
capsules, adjustable sensitivity from 40 to 0 dB in 1 dB steps, and a 3-position
low-frequency filter. In combination, the SKM 5200-II offers maximum flexibility,
reliability and incredible sonic quality for any type of production, from concerts
to TV reporting.”
“Low Intermodulation” Mode
Introduced on the SK 5212-II bodypack transmitter earlier this year, the SKM
5200-II is equipped with Sennheiser’s new “Low Intermodulation”
mode, which ensures even more reliable transmission in multi-channel applications.
“Low Intermodulation” mode allows the sound engineer to pack around
30 percent more channels into a given frequency band by increasing the linearity
of the amplifier’s 10 mW output mode. As a result, the available spectrum
can be used more efficiently, and with increased reliablity. The transmitter
can also operate at “standard” 10 mW to significantly extend operating
time, or at 50 mW to increase the transmitter’s range.
The SKM 5200-II handheld transmitter is available now in black, nickel and
steel blue and can be fitted with a wide range of premium capsules, including
Sennheiser’s MD 5235 and Neumann’s KK 104 and KK 105. Available
frequency ranges include 470 to 638 MHz (L-band), 614 to 697.9 MHz (N-US band)
and 614 to 798 MHz (N-band, for export use only).
