Press Release

Sennheiser will introduce a new, more powerful and flexible line of
3000 Series wireless monitor transmitters and receivers at the 2006
NAMM Show. The new SR3254-U single-channel transmitter, SR3256-U
dual-channel transmitter and EK3253-U body-pack receiver are compatible
with Sennheiser Evolution series wireless G2 monitor products. The new
units offer extended tuning flexibility and an unprecedented 100mW
output.
Engineered in response to customer requests for higher RF output
levels, the new 3250 series transmitters incorporate the HDX compander
technology used in Sennheiser's G2 wireless equipment achieving noise
suppression of up to 90dB and ensuring a wide dynamic range and
crystal-clear monitoring signals. Operating over the G2 products' A, B
and C ranges, the new receiver and transmitters offer a 36MHz switching
bandwidth and are tunable in 5kHz steps across the frequency range,
offering a total of 7,200 frequencies. All three products ship with 16
pre-coordinated preset frequencies and 16 user-assignable presets. Both
transmitters are easy to operate, can be switched between mono and
stereo mode and have a backlit LC display. These newcomers are
especially recommended for demanding multi-channel applications and are
supplied complete with integrated power supply unit, rack-mount "ears"
and either one (SR3254) or two telescopic antennas (SR3256).
The system's bodypack receiver, the EK3253, is twenty percent smaller
than its predecessor but even more robust. Both the body and the
battery cover are now made of metal. A backlit display makes the
menu-controlled operation even more user-friendly. A pilot
tone-controlled squelch allows noise-free switching in stereo mode. The
receiving frequency is adjustable in 5kHz increments. And the receiver
also has a scan function making it easy to search for free transmission
channels. The compact, inconspicuous EK3253 is equipped with a focus
function, enabling 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.
Two AA batteries will give the user six to ten hours of operation.
