russchallis1 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Hi, I am looking to purchase a few Sennheiser EW100 G2 beltpacks and handhelds. One of the microphones I am looking at is set to the frequency 835.850 which according to the Shure frequency chart is Channel 66. Is it possible to change this to channel 70. I do not currently have the mic as I would like to know if it is possible before I spend lots of money... Thanks in advanced for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgallen Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 With the G2 range you can now only use the 4 channels in the license-exempt band 863-865MHz (in band 70) in the UK. See Page 6 "Radio Microphone G2 Range E (830-865 MHz Ch66-Ch70)" in this pdf: http://en-uk.sennhei...rts_02.2013.pdf Using Bank 8 you can use the 4 frequencies 863.1MHz, 863.5MHz, 864.3MHz, 864.9MHz which are in the license-exempt band.

BradRWills Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 It'll retune to ch70 in theory (check the range, it'll say on the sticker on the back of the unit). There are drawbacks to using Ch.70 though - especially if the mic is either critical, or being used in a busy area. I've touched on it here: http://livesoundblog.com/tips-and-advice/wireless-moving-from-channel-6970-to-channel-38/ Feel free to have a look. I loved my Sennheiser g2 kit, but couldn't really keep it, when it was so critical to the performances I was using it for....it's a risk mitigation game for me to be honest.

Simon Lewis Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 As linked to above, G2 Range E units will tune between 830 - 865MHz, but only Bank 8 Channels 1-4 (863.100, 863.500, 864.300, 864.900) can be used in the UK - all the others are illegal to use now.I presume you are looking at second hand units (given that the G2 range is discontinued)? Furthermore, is the seller aware that they are apparently transmitting illegally? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russchallis1 Posted December 20, 2014 Author Share Posted December 20, 2014 Ok thanks for your help, I think I will most likely lose the auction anyway as it is finishing soon out of my price range. Thanks for the advice though it will be really helpful in future purchases :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
