The Sennheiser EW-D SKM-S Wireless Transmitter 520-576 MHzis a digital handheld wireless transmitter compatible with EW-D wireless receivers. It features an interchangeable microphone capsule design and is offered without a capsule included, so you can choose the one that best fits your application. Lightweight and comfortable for performers and presenters to hold, the transmitter features a rugged, all-metal housing well suited for daily use on stage.

The EW-D SKM-S is equipped with a mute button that can be locked out and overridden from the receiver or a mobile device during a performance. With a remarkable 134 dB dynamic range on its input, it can handle a wide variety of sound sources, including loud vocalists and performers, all without requiring any gain adjustment.

The unit quickly pairs with the receiver via Bluetooth at a distance up to 120', at the press of a button. What's more, the EW-D SKM-S utilizes an equidistant tuning grid that equally spaces 2240 frequencies across its wide 56 MHz bandwidth to prevent disruptive intermodulation issues that occur when multiple transmitters operate in confined spaces.

EW-D SKM-S is configured and controlled remotely via Bluetooth from either the receiver or the Smart Assist App installed on your iOS/Android phone/tablet—within a 120' range.

The transmitter provides up to 8 hours of operation on two AA batteries or 12 hours with a BA 70 lithium-ion rechargeable battery pack (available separately). The L70 USB dual-charging station (available separately) is required for the BA 70 batteries.

Note: The EW-D SKM-S is NOT backward-compatible with previous evolution analog systems.

Q: 8. 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.
