The SK 2000 bodypack transmitter  
The SK 2000 bodypack transmitter  
This bodypack transmitter is part of the 2000 series. With this series,  
Sennheiser offers high-quality state-of-the-art RF transmission systems  
with a high level of operational reliability and ease of use. Transmitters  
and receivers permit wireless transmission with studio-quality sound.  
Features of the 2000 series:  
• Optimized PLL synthesizer and microprocessor technology  
HDX noise reduction system  
• Pilot tone squelch control  
• True diversity technology  
• Switching bandwidth of up to 75 MHz  
• Increased immunity to intermodulation and interferences in multi-  
channel operation  
Areas of application  
The bodypack transmitter can be combined with the EM 2000 and  
EM 2050 rack-mount receivers. The receivers are available in the same UHF  
frequency ranges and are equipped with the same frequency bank system  
with factory-preset frequencies. An advantage of the factory-preset  
frequencies is that:  
• a transmission system is ready for immediate use after switch-on,  
• several transmission systems can be operated simultaneously on the  
preset frequencies without causing intermodulation interference.

Putting the bodypack transmitter into operation  
Connecting the microphone cable/instrument cable  
The audio input is designed for the connection of both condenser micro-  
phones and instruments (e.g. guitars). DC powering of the condenser  
microphones is via the audio input MIC/LINE ³ (3-pole special audio  
socket).  
̈ Use one of the recommended Sennheiser microphones or the CI 1-4  
instrument cable (see “Accessories” on page 33).  
̈ Connect the 3-pin special audio connector ƺ from the Sennheiser  
microphone or instrument cable to the socket MIC/LINE ³.

Putting the bodypack transmitter into operation  
Attaching the bodypack transmitter to clothing  
You can use supplied bodypack pouch or the belt clip ƽ to attach the  
bodypack transmitter to clothing (e.g. belt, waistband).  
ƽ
The belt clip is detachable so that you can also attach the transmitter with  
the antenna pointing downwards. To do so, withdraw the belt clip ƽ from  
its fixing points and attach it the other way round.  
The belt clip ƽ is secured so that it cannot slide out of its fixing points  
accidentally.  
To detach the belt clip:  
̈ Lift the belt clip as shown.  
̈ Press down the belt clip at one fixing point and pull it out of the  
transmitter housing.  
̈ Repeat for the other side.

The bodypack transmitter adds an inaudible signal, known as the pilot  
tone, to the transmitted signal. The receiver detects and evaluates the  
pilot tone.  
The pilot tone supports the receiver’s squelch function, thus protecting  
against interference due to RF signals from other devices.

Synchronizing the bodypack transmitter with a receiver  
Synchronizing the bodypack transmitter  
with a receiver  
When synchronizing the bodypack transmitter with a receiver, please  
observe the following:  
̈ Only use a transmitter and a receiver from the same frequency  
range (see the type plates on the transmitter and the  
receiver).  
̈ Make sure that the desired frequencies are listed in the  
enclosed frequency information sheet.  
̈ Make sure that the desired frequencies are approved and legal  
in your country and, if necessary, apply for an operating  
license.  
Synchronizing the bodypack transmitter with the  
receiver – individual operation  
Upon delivery, the bodypack transmitter and the receiver are synchro-  
nized with each other. If, however, you cannot establish a transmission link  
between bodypack transmitter and receiver, you have to synchronize the  
channels of the devices.  
For information on automatic synchronization of the bodypack trans-  
mitter with the receiver (individual operation), refer to the instruction  
manual of the receiver. This information is marked with the  
icon.  
Alternatively, you can set the channel on the bodypack transmitter  
manually:  
̈ Make sure that you set the bodypack transmitter to the same  
frequency bank and the same channel as the receiver (see page 21).  
If you still cannot establish a transmission link, read the chapter “If a  
problem occurs ...” on page 31.

Cleaning the bodypack transmitter  
Synchronizing bodypack transmitters with receivers  
– multi-channel operation  
Combined with 2000 series receivers, SK 2000 bodypack transmitters can  
form transmission links that can be used in multi-channel systems.  
For information on automatic synchronization of bodypack transmitters  
with receivers (multi-channel operation), refer to the instruction manual  
of your receiver.  
For more information on multi-channel operation, visit the SK 2000  
product page at www.sennheiser.com.  
Cleaning the bodypack transmitter  
CAUTION! Liquids can damage the electronics of the bodypack  
transmitter!  
Liquids entering the housing of the device can cause a  
short-circuit and damage the electronics.  
̈ Keep all liquids away from the bodypack transmitter.  
̈ Do not use any solvents or cleansing agents.  
̈ Use a cloth to clean the bodypack transmitter from time to time.

Recommendations and tips  
Recommendations and tips  
.. for the MKE 1, ME 102, ME 104 and ME 105 clip-on microphones  
• To reduce level variations to a minimum when the user turns his or her  
head away from the microphone, attach the microphone as centrally  
as possible.  
• To protect the microphone against excessive sweat/moisture, avoid  
direct skin contact.  
• Attach the microphone carefully and conduct the cable so that noise  
due to friction is avoided.  
• Always use the ME 104 and ME 105 directional microphones with a  
windshield and direct the microphones towards the sound source  
(e.g. mouth).  
... for the HSP 2 and HSP 4 headmics  
• Always use the microphone with a pop shield and position the micro-  
phone at the corner of the mouth.  
• You can vary the bass reproduction by increasing/decreasing the  
talking distance.  
• Make sure that the sound inlet is directed towards the mouth. The  
sound inlet is marked with a little dot.  
... for the bodypack transmitter  
• Make sure that the antenna and the microphone cable do not cross.  
• The antenna should hang freely and be at least 1 cm away from the  
body. The antenna must not be in direct contact with the skin.  
• For best results, make sure that the transmitter sensitivity is correctly  
adjusted.  
... for optimum reception  
• Transmission range depends to a large extent on location and can vary  
from about 10 m to about 150 m. There should be a “free line of sight”  
between transmitting and receiving antennas.  
• To avoid overloading the receiver, observe a minimum distance of 5 m  
between transmitting and receiving antennas.

If a problem occurs ...  
... for multi-channel operation  
• For multi-channel operation, you should only use the channels within  
one frequency bank. Each of the frequency banks “1” to “20” accom-  
modates factory-preset frequencies which are intermodulation-free.  
• When using several transmitters simultaneously, interference can be  
avoided by maintaining a minimum distance of 20 cm between two  
transmitters.
