Whether you’re a touring vocalist, a keynote presenter, or part of a high-energy band, the SKM 500 G4 puts you in control of your sound with professional-grade reliability. It supports Sennheiser’s renowned capsule options—e 935, e 945, and e 965—so you can tailor your voice to cut through the mix with the exact tonal character you want. With increased bandwidth and transmission power, this handheld transmitter maintains your connection even in challenging RF environments, helping you sound consistently strong from soundcheck to encore.

  • Versatile capsule compatibility: The SKM 500 G4 gives you the freedom to choose from the acclaimed e 935, e 945, or e 965 microphone capsules, letting you sculpt your vocal tone for any genre or venue. The e 935 offers a crisp, present upper midrange ideal for live rock and pop, the e 945 adds a touch of warmth with a robust presence for dynamic performances, and the e 965 delivers a detailed, open sound with enhanced sensitivity for subtle vocal nuances. This flexibility ensures you can optimize feedback resistance, proximity effect, and overall intelligibility on stage, so your voice sits perfectly in the mix every night.
  • Rugged, lightweight construction: Encased in a sleek black aluminum housing, the SKM 500 G4 balances durability with comfortable handling. The robust build is designed to withstand the rigors of touring, rigging, and frequent transport, while its slim form fits naturally into hand-held performances. The combination of metal reliability and thoughtful ergonomics helps performers focus on their performance rather than on equipment concerns, even during long shows, backstage rehearsals, or high-pressure festival environments.
  • Improved RF bandwidth and transmission power: Engineered for large venues and crowded RF environments, this transmitter delivers broader bandwidth and elevated transmission power to maintain a stable link between stage and receiver. In practice, this means fewer dropouts, cleaner audio, and consistent level across a wide range of stage layouts, from intimate clubs to open-air arenas. The result is dependable performance that keeps your voice clear and intelligible, even when the venue’s RF landscape is challenging due to crowd frequency activity or neighboring wireless systems.
  • Seamless integration with evolution wireless G4: The SKM 500 G4 is purpose-built for the evolution wireless G4 500 Series ecosystem. It provides straightforward pairing with compatible receivers, reliable IR sync, and streamlined channel management that makes tuning-in quick and repeatable across gigs. If you work with multiple performers, the system makes it easy to manage frequency allocation, minimize interference, and keep everyone in sync so your show runs smoothly from one set to the next.
  • Easy setup and dependable operation: Designed for fast, on-the-fly sound checks, this handheld transmitter supports quick capsule swaps, simple gain adjustment, and clear status indicators. The ergonomic grip, intuitive controls, and reliable power delivery translate to fewer technical delays and more time focusing on performance. Whether you’re adjusting on the fly between songs or calibrating a mix with the monitor engineer, the SKM 500 G4 is built to deliver dependable, repeatable results night after night.

How to install Sennheiser SKM 500 G4 Handheld Transmitter

  • Inspect the SKM 500 G4 and ensure the chosen capsule (e 935, e 945, or e 965) is securely mounted in the transmitter head. If you’re swapping capsules, follow the manufacturer’s guidance to detach the current head and attach the new one without applying excess force.
  • Power the transmitter using the recommended power source (batteries or rechargeable pack) and verify the unit powers on with clear indicator activity. Confirm that the transmitter’s battery is fresh or fully charged to prevent power loss mid-show.
  • Power on your evolution wireless G4 receiver and ensure it is set to a free, non-conflicting channel within the system’s frequency plan. Make a note of the channel so you can quickly verify alignment during a soundcheck.
  • With the transmitter and receiver on, use the IR sync feature to pair the SKM 500 G4 with the receiver. Hold the transmitter and align the IR windows according to the manual’s guidance until the synchronization confirms on-screen or via LED indicators.
  • Perform a quick soundcheck to set the correct gain structure. Start with a conservative input level on the transmitter and adjust the receiver’s gain and limiter settings to achieve clear, undistorted vocal levels. Test during a rehearsal or before doors to ensure a consistent performance environment across the venue.
