This system offers enhanced reliability and control with professional-level features, including variable RF power, a wide tuning range, Ethernet networking for multichannel setups, and an intuitive interface with an OLED display and jog wheel. It delivers high-quality, reliable audio to presenters, clergy, lecturers, and performers in business and educational settings, houses of worship, theaters, and musical stages.

Key Features and Benefits:

True Diversity Receiver:

• Rugged Construction: The half-rack receiver is housed in a durable, full-metal chassis for long-lasting performance.
• Auto-Scan Function: Searches a 50 MHz UHF tuning range with 2000 selectable frequencies to find a clean, interference-free channel.
• Multi-Channel Setup: Operate up to 32 wireless channels simultaneously, with linked receivers for fast, multi-channel frequency setup.

Proven Broadcast-Quality Sound:

• MKE 2 Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone: The high-grade MKE 2 mic delivers natural, broadcast-quality sound optimized for speech intelligibility. Its sweat-resistant, miniature design makes it easy to conceal. The omnidirectional polar pattern ensures consistent sound capture, even when the speaker’s head moves away from the mic.
• HDX Compander Technology: Preserves your sound without adding unwanted noise during transmission, delivering audio with remarkable accuracy and quality.

Compact Bodypack Transmitter for Hands-Free Presentations:

• Flexible Input: The lavalier mic plugs into the locking 3.5mm connection on the compact SK 500 G4 bodypack transmitter. The adjustable input sensitivity accommodates mic levels ranging from booming voices to quiet speech, and even line-level audio.
• Rugged, All-Metal Transmitter: Features a programmable mute function and can be locked out to prevent accidental changes during a performance. A backlit LCD displays essential information and provides fast menu access. The transmitter syncs to the receiver via infrared with a quick press on the Sync button.
• Long Battery Life: Provides up to 8 hours of operation on two AA batteries or a rechargeable BA 2015 Accupack battery (sold separately). Side contacts allow for recharging the Accupack without removing it from the transmitter—requires the L 2015 quick-charging unit (sold separately).

Easy-to-Operate Receiver with True-Diversity Reception:

• User-Friendly Interface: The EM 300-500 G4 receiver features a high-contrast, black-and-white OLED display with automatic dimming, jog wheel, and dedicated Escape button for quick menu navigation. Displays battery status of the associated transmitter.
