It features adaptive diversity technology and can be used when paired with a companion transmitter as part of a wireless RF monitoring system for live stage, theater, and rehearsal applications.

The stereo receiver is equipped with 1680 frequencies tunable in 25 MHz steps and has 20 fixed frequency banks with up to 16 compatible frequency presets and another 6 user banks with up to 16 user-programmable frequencies. The receiver's menu-driven backlit display shows current frequency, frequency bank and channel number, metering of RF level, metering of AF level, lock status, and battery status. An auto-lock feature is provided to prevent settings from being accidentally altered.

Built in a rugged metal housing, it is powered by two 1.5V AA sized batteries or by a Sennheiser BA 2015 rechargeable accupack. The earphone output uses a 3.5mm stereo jack socket.

Sennheiser EK IEM G4-A1 Reviews

These sound great

By Peter

I use these on set with a compatible G4 transmitter (you need to turn off pilot tone) for client headphone monitoring. Sounds much better than the popular 216mhz VHF systems.

Can these IEM receivers double as a camera hop? I the quality the same as the regular receivers?
Asked by: DNN
Hi Dennis - the EK 300IEM can receive signal from any evolution Wireless transmitter, however, the audio signal would be processed through the headphone amplifier circuit which would have a different noise floor than the AF Output of a standard EK 100 or 500 Receiver.

Yes, the Sennheiser EK IEM G4 Stereo Bodypack Receiver can be used with the Sennheiser SK 100 Wireless Bodypack Transmitter as long as the components are both tuned to the same frequency, however the audio going to the receiver will be mono, not stereo.
