Frequently Asked Questions - SKM 1032 SENNHEISER

How to change the transmission frequency of the SKM 1032?

Use the frequency switch located in the battery compartment. Each number corresponds to a frequency indicated on the type plate. Make sure the frequency matches that of the receiver. Use a small screwdriver or the antenna tip to turn the switch.

What type of battery to use?

Use only 9 V alkaline-manganese batteries (IEC 6LR61). Using other batteries significantly reduces battery life.

Can I use rechargeable batteries?

Yes, Sennheiser recommends the BA 1032 rechargeable battery. Charge it in the L 1032 charger with the NT 1032 power supply. One battery can remain in the microphone while another is charging.

How to clean the microphone grille?

Unscrew the grille, remove the protective foam. Wash both parts in lukewarm water, then dry completely before reassembling. Do not use chemicals.

What to do if the sound is distorted?

Check the position of the sensitivity switch. If set to HIGH, switch to LOW to avoid overmodulation. Also ensure that the receiver is set to the same channel and that the HiDynplus system is activated if present.

How to mute without turning off the transmitter?

Use the MUTE switch (OFF position). To prevent accidental actuation, you can lock the switch by sliding it sideways.

Does the SKM 1032 work with all receivers?

It works with any frequency-compatible receiver. However, to benefit from the HiDynplus™ compander system, the receiver must also be equipped with it.

How to wear the microphone hands-free?

Attach the SZU 1032 shoulder strap (included accessory) to the microphone. Wear it on your chest. In this case, set the sensitivity to HIGH to compensate for the mouth-to-microphone distance.

What accessories are available for the SKM 1032?

Optional accessories: BA 1032 rechargeable battery, L 1032 charger, MZW 1032 windscreen, SZU 1032 shoulder strap, STH 1051 stand mount, short helical antenna.

Why is there no signal even though the transmitter is on?

Check that the battery is correctly inserted and not discharged. Make sure the transmission frequency matches that of the receiver. Also check that the receiver is on and set to the correct channel.

Brief description

SKM 1030 and SKM 1032 are radiomicrophones for use with wireless transmission systems.

They are suitable for a wide range of applications. The SKM 1030 is chiefly used in radio tour-guide systems, the SKM 1032 is often employed in theaters or as a musician's microphone. Both transmitters can be hand-held or worn around the neck with the SZU 1032 Lavaier clip (available as an accessory). Further useful accessories are the BA 1032 fast charging accupacks and the corresponding L 1032 charger.

Special characteristics

high reliability and long operating time in rechargeable battery operation, too
easy handling and operation
- channel selection
- optional use of the quick charge high-capacity rechargeable battery BA 1032
- clickless ON/OFF switch for the microphone signal

SKM 1030-7

wireless microphone, identical to the SKM 1030-6. higher radiated power: 10mW

SKM 1030-7 BU

wireless microphone, identical to the SKM 1030-7. Transmitter output power ≤ 100mW Music and speech information can be broken in via an additional integrated 2.5mm TB-socket.

HINT

Apart from these standard models wireless microphones of the SKM 1030 line and of the SKM 1032 line are also available for the operation at special frequencies. These transmitters are marked by the additional designation ...SF.

How to insert the battery

Insert the battery as demonstrated in the figure.

Pay attention to the polarity!
Use only alkali-manganese-batteries!

If not the given operating time (see technical data) will drastically be reduced.

For regular operation use quick charge rechargeable batteries BA 1032 instead of batteries.

Rechargeable battery BA 1032, charge with the battery charger L 1032

The rechargeable batteries BA 1032 are recharged with the battery charger L 1032 and an appropriate plug transformer NT 1032. One rechargeable battery can remain in the microphone during the recharge, a second one can be recharged in the appropriate battery compartment of the battery charger. L 1032 and NT 1032 are supplied as accessories.

The battery charger L 1032 and the SKM 1030 / SKM 1032 are connected via the charging-contact (see figure on next page).

Please take care that these contacts are clean, i.e.metallic-bright.

How to adjust the transmitter frequency

Adjust the desired transmitter frequency with the switch ⑤. Each number on the switch corresponds to a transmitter frequency. You will find the exact frequency on the type plate in the battery compartment.

Take care that the transmitter frequency and the received frequency selected at the receiver do correspond.
A small screw driver (breadth approx. 2mm ) or the end of the wire antenna which is shaped like a small blade is suitable tools for the selection.

How to switch on / how to select sensitivity

The ON/OFF-switch 6 and the selector switch 7 are positioned in a cavity on the bottom of the housing.
The ON/OFF-switch which is used more frequently is positioned slightly above the selector switch.

After having switched on the transmitter you must wait approx. 2 seconds as the transmitter requires this time for adjusting to the chosen frequency. (PLL-rest.).

The AF signal is attenuated if the selector switch for the sensitivity ⑦ is switched to "LOW". Close-miking can thereby not result in overmodulation.

Attenuation for SKM 1030: approx. 14 dB
Attenuation for SKM 1032: approx. 20 dB

Muting the microphone

With switch ⑧ you can mute the microphone of the hand-held transmitter without switching off the transmitter itself. This avoids hissing noise in the receiver. The "ON" and "OFF" positions are clearly marked on the switch.

Switch ⑧ can be locked in the ON position to avoid accidental switching (note the position of the screw head):

Replacing the Antenna

The antenna of the SKM 1030 / SKM 1032 hand-held transmitter can easily be replaced. It is simply screwed to socket 9.

In exceptional cases the transmitter can also be operated without the antenna. Parts of the electronic circuit and the battery then act as an antenna. However, the transmitter's range is greatly reduced.
The SKM 1030 VHF works with an integral antenna, there is no socket for an external antenna.

Cleaning the Sound Inlet Basket

For cleaning, unscrew the sound inlet basket. Rinse the foam protection and teh with clear water. Dry both inlet basket and foam protection with a hairdryer.
Place the inlet basket and the foam protection back on the transmitter only if they are completely dry!

Noise Suppression System HiDynplusTM (only for SKM 1032)

The SKM 1032 hand-held transmitter is equipped with the Sennheiser noise reduction system HiDynplus™. Optimum operation of the radiomicrophone requires that the corresponding receiver is also equipped with HiDyn plus™. If that is not the case, the dynamic range is drastically reduced and the transmission sounds muffled.

How to carry / fix the wireless microphone

If the microphone is hand-held the sensitivity should be switched to "LOW". For outdoor recordings and close-miking the windshield MZW 1032 should be placed on the microphone to reduce popnoise and windnoise.
The carrying sling arrangement SZU 1032 is used if the SKM 1030 / SKM 1032 is to be carried before the breast. It is fixed and put on according to the figure. The selector switch for the sensitivity is switched to „HIGH". For guided tours in factories it is not advisable to use the SKM 1030 as a Lavalier microphone, as distance between the mouth and the microphone would be too great. Ambient noise would drown out the spoken information. In addition, the transmitter's output power is considerably reduced if the antenna is close to the body.
