Sennheiser SKM 5200-II

General Description

The SKM 5200-II is the next evolution of the SKM 5000 world class microphone. Robust, reliable and user-friendly, the professional hand-held transmitter is suitable for every conceivable type of recording and transmission situation. The mechanics, electronics and operating concept were designed to meet the highest requirements of live events.

This is why, for example, the SKM 5200-II now offers a switching bandwidth of up to 184 MHz. The "HiDyn plus™" noise suppression system developed by Sennheiser reduces RF noise to an absolute minimum, ensuring a wide dynamic range and crystal-clear sound. Programming is extremely flexible: the SKM-II 5200 has both a fixed and a variable channel bank. All parameters are shown on a backlit LCD; they can be locked to prevent accidental adjustment, and checked within seconds.

The SKM 5200-II is available in four frequency variants – L, N, N-US and P – as well as in three colors: black, nickel and steel blue (haematite). The hand-held transmitter is compatible with all capsules, battery and rechargeable battery compartments of the 5000 series as well as with Neumann microphone heads..
