Plug-type X transmitter for AKG C535?
Is there an end-plug type of transmitter that would allow an AKG C535 to
work with Sennheiser's 300 and 500 series receivers? -- ha Iraq is Arabic for Vietnam |

Would either of those work for you? Looks like the SKP-500 would work; can't find info at the Sennheiser site for the SKP-100 standalone. They only show it as bundled with various systems. I'll poke around a little more. It's for Patrick Ball, for whom I did SR a couple of weeks ago. He has a couple of Sennheiser wireless rigs, but he dislikes the sound of the mic bundled with one of them and uses a wired C535 instead. He was under the impression that in order to use the C535 wirelessly he'd have to buy into a very expensive AKG wireless rig, but the Sennheiser specs show that the SKP-500 ought to work fine with the C535. Thanks, Bob. -- ha Iraq is Arabic for Vietnam |

Also Lectrosonics makes a universal transmitter that can be set up to talk to the Sennheisers; it supports a bunch of different companding modes and can interoperate with many different systems. It's more money, though. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

Would either of those work for you? Do either supply phantom ? Cos the 535 needs it ( =12V I think). geoff The SKP-500 G2 does supply switchable 48V phantom power.

Note that the battery life is reduced when you have the phantom turned on, though. Whenever manufacturers tell me they only provide substandard phantom voltages because it's too difficult to do it correctly on a product with low power requirements, I always bring up the Sennheiser butt plug. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra.

And to some extent it's more convenient, too, in that it's harder to lose... --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

What's the big deal? So far my 500 mah rechargeable 9V's are doing well. Max duty so far was 6 hours and they had some reserve left. I'm running them in Lectrosonics 400 series butt plug transmitters on Schoeps and DPA mics. A battery will charge in considerably less time that it takes to drain, so one backup per transmitter is adequate. |

Even with daily services, they could have gone 2-3 days per battery if it did not have to supply phantom. Daily battery replacement was a pain to them, not to mention more expensive then expected. The real problem is total and sudden death of the xmtr. The xmtr would die in the middle of a service when the battery meter indicated useful life when the service started. Converting to 48V from a pair of AA bats chews them up fast. Marty |

Marty In my experience churches are the worst for random people popping random batteries in and out, seldom having a pair of batteries of similar vintage or even type (" I just put in what was rolling around the bottom of the cupboard"). A strict regime of replacing with known-new batteries and disposing of (or recharging) old is called for. geoff. |

Do have the number? And, would that be divine 48V phantom In my experience churches are the worst for random people popping random batteries in and out, seldom having a pair of batteries of similar vintage or even type (" I just put in what was rolling around the bottom of the cupboard"). A strict regime of replacing with known-new batteries and disposing of (or recharging) old is called for. Absolutely. That's why they decided to run a wire instead! Marty |

I've found my churchy clients somewhat 'unwordly' when it comes to coping with the constraints of physical connections. With broken cables, mics, and mixer sockets as testament to the whole truth of my personal experience... geoff |
