The Sennheiser EW 172 G3 MKE 2 CC Wireless Instrument System with Lavalier Microphone is an instrument set with cable emulator for individual sound adjustment and the Lavalier Microphone designed for all areas of live work.

Description

The Sennheiser EW 172 G3 MKE 2 CC Wireless Instrument System with Lavalier Microphone is an instrument set with cable emulator for individual sound adjustment and the Lavalier Microphone is a high-quality, sub-miniature omni-directional clip-on lavalier microphone designed for all areas of live work.
 
The system’s new cable emulator feature allows you adjust virtual cable lengths to get sound response just like a cable. 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 25 Hz, which will especially please players with 5 string bass guitars.

With its improved design and new features, this rugged G3 rack receiver is ready for the road with its proven transmission reliability and inspiring flexibility. The sound check mode allows you to check the audio and RF signal at any time during setup. 20 frequency banks with 12 preset frequencies each, plus a user-programmable bank mean you can easily run multiple channels of G3 wireless simultaneously.

The wireless body-pack standard gets even better. Sennheiser has packed many useful features in the 158g weight of the SK 100 G3. 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 25-18,000 Hz for the truest sound.

The MKE 2 Gold sub-miniature omni-directional lavalier is ideal for television broadcast and theatrical productions. Its accurate frequency response produces natural, uncolored sound. A unique Umbrella Diaphragm delivers moisture-resistant performance with the identical high audio quality of the industry standard MKE 2 lavalier. Its size makes it not only unobtrusive and easy to conceal, but also offers a textbook perfect omni-directional polar pattern. An extremely thin low mass diaphragm exhibits extraordinary transient response. The microphone also comes with two additional sound inlet caps to tailor the high frequency as needed.

Standard instrument cable for evolution wireless bodypack transmitters.
