Q: 1. Is this compatible with the 100 g3 if not is there a dual Sennheiser receiver that is?

A: No, the Sennheiser EM-XSW 1 Dual-Channel Stationary Receiver is not compatible for use with Sennheiser EW 100 G3 Series Transmitters. Sennheiser does not offer a dual-channel 100 Series Receiver but two of the single-channel Sennheiser EM 100 G4 Wireless Receivers can be used at the same time and can be mounted side-by side in a single rack space. The EM-XSW 1 Receiver can be used with XS Series transmitters like the Sennheiser SK-XSW-A Bodypack Transmitter - A: 548 to 572 MHz (B&H # SESKXSWA) or handheld transmitters like the Sennheiser SKM 825-XSW-A Handheld Transmitter with e825 Capsule - A: 548 to 572 MHz B&H # SESKM825XSWA), SKM 835-XSW-A Handheld Transmitter with e835 Capsule - A: 548 to 572 MHz( B&H # SESKM835XSWA, or SKM 865-XSW-A Handheld Transmitter with e865 Capsule - A: 548 to 572 MHz (B&H # SESKM865XSWA).

Q: 3. Can this microphone be paired with any other receivers for use in field/documentary work?

A: Yes, the Sennheiser SK-XSW-A Bodypack Transmitter that is included with the Sennheiser XSW 1-ME2 UHF Lavalier Microphone Set (A: 548 to 572 MHz) can also be used with the Sennheiser EM-XSW 2 True Diversity Receiver with External Antennas - A: 548 to 572 MHz (B&H # SEEMXSW2A) or the Sennheiser EM-XSW 1 Dual-Channel Stationary Receiver with Internal Antennas - A: 548 to 572 MHz (B&H # SEEMXSW1DU).

Q: 4. We have an old sennheiser mike, ew-100, SKM 100, with frequency range 518,000 - 550,000 Mhz. It works with the Sennheiser diversity receiver EM100, with same frequency range. Will this mike SKM 825-XSW-A, work with the above receiver?

A: This is the XSW series which operates on the 2.4GHz frequencies and is not compatible with the EW series, which are UHF Based systems. You have 2 options for a handheld for your existing system: 1) Get the SKM 100 Transmitter Item# SESKM100G4SA + Capsule Item# SEMMD835 (or if there is another capsule you prefer. 2) Get the SKP100 Plug on transmitter SESKP100G4A and use any Dynamic microphone of your choice. Sennheiser has some great mics but if you already have other mics in your arsenal, it will work perfectly with this plug on transmitter. NOTE: The frequency range on your existing system, and the items I recommended are a little different, but they are in the same range so you will have plenty freqancies to play with.

Q: 5. Hi there. Will this unit supply 48 V phantom power to a shotgun mic? Cheers

A: Hi Marc - the SK 100 G4 bodypack transmitter doesn’t supply 48V phantom power, however, the SKP 500 G4 plug-on transmitter does. If you’re working with a shotgun microphone that can be powered via battery or phantom powers - such as the MKE 600 - you could also use the SKP 100 G4 plug-on transmitter as a more cost effective solution. Alternately, a CM 1 XLR Female to 3.5mm locking connector adapter cable can also be used with the MKE 600 to connect it to a bodypack transmitter. For +48V phantom power, you’ll want to be looking at the 500 Series (EW 500 G4 BOOM, EW 500 G4 FILM or SKP 500 G4).

Q: 6. with this mic work with my Canon EOS Rebel T4I which I know is cranky and will not work with every mic?

Q: 8. How far can you be from the receiver before the signal starts to drop out?

A: Every situation is different, so it is difficult to say what kind of distance you will get exactly before the RF signal begins to drop off. Given the output power of the transmitter is 10nW, you can expect clear reception within 40-75 feet in an open space, roughly.
