Sennheiser EW 172 G3-A Wireless Instrument System at a Glance:
  • A transmitter made to perform with you
  • You can rely on this receiver
  • Great sound from a wireless package

A transmitter made to perform with you
Sennheiser has packed many useful features into the lightweight SK 100 G3 bodypack transmitter. The SK 100 G3 has an easy-to-read graphic display, infrared sync, charging contacts, cable emulation, RF mute, an intuitive menu and much more. As features alone are no substitute for audio quality, the AF frequency response was expanded to 25Hz-18kHz for incredibly clear sound.

You can rely on this receiver
The rugged EM 100 G3 rack receiver is ready for the road with its proven transmission reliability and inspiring flexibility. A sound check mode allows you to check the audio and RF signal at any time during setup. Twenty frequency banks with 12 preset frequencies each — plus a user-programmable bank — mean you can easily run multiple channels of G3 wireless simultaneously.

Great sound from a wireless package
The system's new cable emulator feature allows you adjust virtual cable lengths to get sound response just like a cable would provide. Another great new feature for guitarists is the built-in guitar tuner right on the display. A built-in 5-band EQ allows you to fine tune your sound even further. Bass players in particular will be pleased with the enhanced AF frequency response; it starts at a thundering 25Hz, which will especially please players with 5-string bass guitars. Sennheiser included all the accessories you need, including a power supply unit, an instrument cable, two antennas, two stacking elements, and AA batteries.

Best customer service I've ever encountered. My guitar arrived ahead of the date it was supposed to, in flawless condition. Played well right out of the box. I will be buying all of my gear from you, from here on out. You made me feel like I was ordering a custom guitar, just for me. I was treated like a valuable customer.

This unit was replacing a Audio Technica unit and we are using a Rode HS1-p headset. While I love the headset, the A-T wireless unit was prone to signal dropout and low audio output. Taking the EW 172... read more [+] G3 out of the box, installing batteries and plugging it into our system, I was very impressed with the output and quality of sound. It really brought out the capabilities of the Rode headset. This is without touching any of the parameters on the wireless unit. I had to turn down the padding on the channel, and flatten all of the eq's Now as opposed to leaning on the hi-end EQ, it is virtuall flat, with just a touch of reduction on the mid's. The congregation remarked how clear the Pastor's voice was and how he was more understandable. Only draw back that I have is the location of the On-Off switch on the body pack. close [-]
