Sennheiser EK 100 G4 Overview

The Sennheiser EK 100 G4 is a camera-mount wireless receiver compatible with EW Series wireless microphone systems for videographers, YouTubers, and mobile journalists.

Easy to use and fast to set up, the EK 100 G4 is built for dependable performance in the field. Using the included shoemount adapter, this compact receiver mounts on your camera without adding much weight. The two included cables allow you to connect it to either the 3.5mm or the XLR audio input of any DSLR/mirrorless, camcorder, or recording device.

The EK 100 G4 features user-friendly menu operation with flexible control options. A daylight-readable LED display shows reception quality, battery status, and audio level. The frequency scan function automatically searches for the cleanest frequency at your location. To get you going quickly, the receiver synchronize with the transmitter via infrared interface with the simple push of a button.

The EK 100 G4 is backward-compatible with previous evolution systems, giving you the ability to mix and match G4/G3/G2/G1 receivers or bodypack, handheld, and plug-on transmitters. It is also compatible with EW 500 systems.

Sennheiser EK 100 G4 Reviews

This is as EASY as it GETS - super high quality

By Anonymous
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2022-10-31

I am very pleased with the quality of this Transmitter-Receiver package. They don't give it away but it's worth the price. I coupled the Transmitter with a CANON model KSM8 dynamic Mic. I also have a SENNHEISER MODEL MKE600 shotgun mic for very noisy venues like being on-field FOOTBALL for NCAA games. It also works perfectly as the MKE600 has built in phantom power to service the Mic design. This combination is perfect for handheld interviews with coach staff, with a screaming crowd.

Compatible with G4 Tx

These WILL pair with the G4 Tx's but you have to deactivate the pilot tone on both the Tx and the IEM Rx's in order to get signal from the Tx to the Rx.

Does each transmitter (bodypack SESK500G4AW or plug on SESKP500G4AW) need it's own receiver or can the receiver take multiple input signals cleanly to one output?
Asked by: Nathan
The Sennheiser EK 100 G4 Camera-Mount Wireless Receiver allows a single transmitter connection at any time. Each Sennheiser transmitter requires its own dedicated receiver.

Is this receiver compatible with the SKM 835-XSW-A Handheld Mic? Or any other wireless Sennheiser stick mic?
Asked by: Roger
No, ew100 series wireless components such as the Sennheiser EK 100 G4 Camera-Mount Wireless Receiver are not cross-compatible with XSW series components such as the Sennheiser SKM 835-XSW-A Handheld Transmitter with e835 Capsule. A compatible handheld transmitter for use with this EK 100 G4 receiver is the Sennheiser SKM 100 G4 Handheld Wireless Microphone Transmitter (BH #SESKM100G4A). Be sure to add on your desired microphone capsule, as they are not included with the transmitter's purchase: https://bhpho.to/39J5cWE

What is the latency on this receiver?

What is the latency on this receiver?
Asked by: Adrian
The Sennheiser EK 100 G4 Camera-Mount Wireless Receiver and the EW G4 series operate with zero latency since the audio signal is sent by the transmitter to the receiver using an analog protocol.
