At prolight+sound, RF specialist Sennheiser is presenting its
3250 system, the most flexible wireless monitoring system the market currently has to offer. "With a switching bandwidth of now 36 MHz, and frequencies that are tunable in 5 kHz steps, we are providing PA companies, broadcasting networks and stage professionals with the best of the best in the ever-more-crowded RF spectrum," says Sven Boetcher, Sennheiser´s product manager for Professional Wireless.

Wireless monitoring is becoming increasingly popular, but at the same time the frequency spectrum is getting more and more crowded. With frequencies that are tunable in 5 kHz steps within a 36 MHz window, the 3250 system makes use of even the smallest frequency gap - ideal for demanding multi-channel applications. The sound quality is excellent, thanks to an audio frequency response of 40 to 15,000 Hz.
On the transmitter side, the new monitoring system gives the user a choice between the SR 3254 stereo transmitter and the SR 3256 twin stereo transmitter, which both come in a 19" /1U size and are true powerhouses, with an output of up to 100 mW. The transmitters use the HDX compander system featured in the "evolution wireless" series, achieving noise suppression of up to 90 dB and ensuring a wide dynamic range and crystal-clear monitoring signals. Both transmitters are easy to operate, can be switched between mono and stereo mode and have a backlit LC display. These newcomers are supplied complete with an integrated power supply unit, rack-mount accessories and either one or two telescopic antennas.

The system´s bodypack receiver, the EK 3253, is 20% smaller than its predecessor but even more robust, with both the body and the battery cover now being made of metal. Here, too, a backlit display makes the menu-controlled operation even more user-friendly. A pilot tone-controlled squelch allows noise-free switching in stereo mode. As a special feature, the receiver also has a scan function, making it easy to search for free transmission channels. The focus function enables artists to create their own special mix from their own audio signal and the overall mix. The receiver comes complete with batteries and a pair of IE 4 stereo ear-canal phones that offer natural, powerful sound and outstanding bass response.
