how to install Sennheiser SKP 100 G4 Plug-on Transmitter
- Power down the transmitter and the receiver before beginning the installation to prevent accidental transmissions during setup.
- Attach the SKP 100 G4 to the microphone you plan to use. Ensure the microphone’s clip or mount is secure, and that the mic head is not obstructed by the transmitter body.
- Connect the microphone’s signal path to the SKP 100 G4 via the appropriate input (XLR for most dynamic mics). Confirm a snug, snug connection to avoid intermittent dropouts.
- Power on the transmitter and the corresponding G4 receiver. Use the receiver’s channel or group selection to locate a clear, interference-free path for your audio.
- Initiate the pairing or synchronization process between the SKP 100 G4 and the EW G4 receiver. Allow a moment for the devices to lock onto the same channel, then perform a quick audio check by speaking into the mic and monitoring the receiver or your camera’s audio input.
- Position the mic and transmitter to optimize pickup while avoiding cable snags and wind noise. Use wind protection as needed and verify that the mic’s proximity to the subject remains comfortable for natural audio capture.
