Sennheiser Digital 9000 System

Sennheiser has unveiled Digital 9000, a digital wireless system that can transmit uncompressed audio.

Targeting broadcasting professionals, (musical) theatres and live audio events, Digital 9000 includes the EM 9046 receiver, SKM 9000 handheld and SK 9000 bodypack transmitters, plus a suite of accessories.

It features an IR synchronisation between receivers and transmitters and an antenna loop-through for creating larger receiving systems.

A display is at the heart of the EM 9046 receiver. Three display modes let the RF or sound engineer overview important parameters in live situations and change settings via an icon-based menu. Channels can be monitored via the headphone output, either individually or any number can be listened to combined.

The modular EM 9046 receiver is a mainframe that accommodates up to eight receivers internally. The receiver system covers the UHF range from 470 to 798 MHz (328MHz band¬width). To integrate the system into an existing infrastructure, the user can choose between transformer-balanced analogue or digital AES3 audio output modules, or a mix of both.

The multi-channel receiver and the transmitters can optionally use encrypted data transmission, with proprietary keys generated randomly. This will protect a radio link against hijacking and tapping.

The receiver stores up to ten complete system configurations so that set-ups cbe recalled and repeated.

The SKM 9000 handheld transmitter is compatible with all evolution wireless G3 and 2000 Series microphone heads, including the Neumann capsules KK 204 and KK 205.

The SKM 9000 comes with an 88 MHz switching bandwidth, and is available in black and nickel. Command switch versions for communication between broadcast units or artists and their crews are also available.
