RF Wireless Systems | 5000 Series Hand-Held Transmitters  
The SKM 5000 versions provide for extremely reliable and exible use of hand-held  
Mikroport transmitters. Their interchangeable microphone heads let you choose  
between five condenser microphone heads with different pick-up patterns and  
a super-cardioid dynamic head. Together with the EM 1046 receiver system, the  
SKM 5000 hand-held transmitters can prove their strong points.  
Via the Mikroport computer display you can monitor all channels. The radio links  
are exceptionally reliable and can be used in large multi-channel systems. Since  
its launch in 1993, the slim hand-held transmitter has been extremely popular  
with demanding TV productions and shows. For discriminating users worldwide the  
SKM 5000 is the top choice.

Power supply  
The variants of the SKM 5000 can be optionally powered by a rechargeable accupack  
or batteries. In a BA 5000-1, two rechargeable NiMH batteries are integrated whilst  
the B 5000-1 battery box takes two miniature (AA) cells. The B 5000-1 battery box  
has a 3-step LC display for monitoring the battery status at the transmitter. The  
BA 5000-1 provides a check of the battery status with a 6-step LCD. If only one LCD  
segment is showing, it flashes as a warning. The remaining operating time is then  
20 minutes maximum.  
In addition, the 3000 and 5000 series receivers can be used for remotely checking  
the battery status. If the display of the receiver indicates “Low Batt”, about  
20 minutes of operation are left. The accupack is charged from the L 50 automatic  
charger which is also used for the accupacks of the SK 50 / SK 250 bodypack transmit-  
ters. The BA 5000-1 is inserted in the L 50 by means of a charging adaptor supplied  
with the accupacks.  
General information on the use of hand-held transmitters  
The specific fields of application for hand-held transmitters are where the  
bodypack transmitter/clip-on microphone combination is not suitable. If, for  
example, it is not possible to attach an SK 50 / ME 102 combination because  
speakers change, the SKM 5000 can be rapidly passed to and fro between presenter  
and questioner in the audience. However, a hand-held transmitter also provides  
Warning status on the  
EM 1046  
Removing the battery  
box  
different acoustic characteristics from  
a
clip-on microphone with bodypack  
transmitter: it can be moved closer to the mouth as a result of which ambient  
noise can be better suppressed.  
On a musical stage, excellent results are achieved even when a clip-on microphone  
is used when the voice is trained. On a rock ’n’ roll stage, in contrast, the monitor  
system is so loud that it is not possible to use clip-ons. The situation in chat shows  
with loud audience noise presents similar problems. It is specifically when the micro-  
phone is used not only for programme sound but is also for public address that the  
sound quality is preserved by using the SKM 5000 hand-held transmitter.

BA 5000-1 status  
indicator  
The SKM 5000 is capable of accommodating even the highest sound pressure levels  
(maximum sound pressure level 163 dB with the MD 5005 dynamic microphone  
head). Due to its insensitivity to pop and handling noise, the SKM 5000 has proved  
its worth in tough use.

Pick-up patterns/handling  
The most frequently used pick-up pattern is the super-cardioid which is particularly  
sensitive to sound coming from the front. The tip of the microphone should there-  
fore always point towards the mouth. This position optimally suppresses ambient  
noise. The ME 5002 microphone head with omni-directional pattern picks up sound  
equally from all directions. With favourable acoustics it can therefore pick up the  
voices of both interviewer and interviewee.  
Besides its directional pattern a super-cardioid microphone exhibits another typical  
characteristic: the proximity effect. At close talking distances the bass frequencies  
are enhanced, a singer’s voice sounds fuller and warmer. The ME 5005 e microphone  
head has been optimised for vocal applications. If a neutral sound is required irre-  
spective of the talking distance a microphone head with wide cardioid, cardioid or  
omni-directional pick-up pattern is the better choice. Radio sound mixers prefer the  
wide cardioid pattern.  
BA 5000-1, charging adaptor, charger  
(from top to bottom)  
If questions from the audience are to be integrated into a discussion, the SKM 5000  
can be used as a wireless boom microphone. Although it is not possible to have  
the same long operating distances as in the case of a gun microphone, the sound  
operator can easily control the speaking distance with the SKM 5000 mounted on  
a short boom. An antenna is integrated into the body of the SKM 5000. Please take  
care, therefore, that the user does not clamp the hand-held transmitter with both  
hands or press it against the body. This distinctly reduces the radiated power of the  
antenna.
