SK 3063-U Mikroport bodypack transmitter  
Together with a connected microphone, the transmitter can be  
used as a wireless microphone. Due to its small dimensions and  
extremely flat design, the SK 3063-U is especially suitable for all  
applications where a very unobtrusive transmitter is required, e.g.  
film and TV productions, musicals.  
The transmitter is equipped with »HiDynPlus«, the Sennheiser  
noise reduction system that reduces possible RF interference and  
improves the signal-to-noise ratio. Together with a receiver which is  
also equipped with »HiDynPlus« (e.g. EM 3031/32-U, EM 3532-U,  
EM 3732, EK 3241, EM 1046), an RF link of excellent operational  
reliability and highest transmission quality can be set up.  
Features  
Metal diecast casing with power pack  
State-of-the-art PLL technology, 16 switchable channels  
»HiDynPlus« noise reduction system  
Signal-to-noise ratio > 112 dB (A)

Putting the SK 3063-U transmitter into  
operation  
Selecting a microphone  
The SK 3063-U transmitter can be used with the Sennheiser  
MKE 2-4, MKE 102-4 (omni-directional) and MKE 40-4, MKE 104-4  
(cardioid) clip-on microphones. The power supply of these  
microphones is via the microphone input ¾ of the transmitter.  
̈ Unscrew the coupling ring inorder to unlock the special audio  
connector of the microphone.  
Attaching and removing the battery pack  
For powering the SK 3063-U transmitter, you can either use the  
B 50/B 250 battery pack or the rechargeable BA 50/BA 250  
accupack.  
The display ´ at the front of  
the power pack indicates the  
charge status of the batteries/  
rechargeable batteries.  
The transmitter also transmits  
the current battery status  
information to the receiver  
where it is shown on the display  
panel.

To attach the B 50/B 250 battery pack:  
̈ Using the thumb and index finger of one hand, push the two  
catches ¿ on the transmitter as shown in diagram A.  
The battery pack can now be removed from the transmitter.  
̈ Insert the batteries into the battery compartment as shown in  
diagram B or C.  
Depending on the battery pack, you have to insert 2 or  
3 batteries:  
A
B
C
̈ Connect the battery pack to the transmitter.  
The battery pack locks into place with an audible click.

The B 50/B 250 battery pack  
The B 50/B 250 battery pack has the following features:  
3-step LC display for (remaining)  
battery capacity  
Reliable Low Batt indication  
Protection against total discharge  
Provision of battery status  
information to the receiver  
Attaching and removing the accupack  
̈ Using the thumb and index finger of one hand, push the two  
catches ¿ on the transmitter as shown in diagram A on  
The accupack can now be removed from the transmitter.  
̈ Connect the accupack to the transmitter.

The BA 50/BA 250 accupack has the following features:  
Protection against total discharge  
Intelligent, 6-step display for  
(remaining) accupack capacity  
Processor-controlled electronics  
takes self-discharge of rechargeable  
battery cells into account  
Low-Batt

Display indicates the maximum possible capacity after the  
accupack has been fully charged in the L 50 charger  
Measurement of actual capacity and consideration of natural  
ageing  
During operation, the percentage display decreases in  
correspondence to the remaining accupack capacity  
Discharge the accupack from time to time  
The capacity is calculated during a complete discharge  
cycle (between full charge and “Low Batt” indication).  
̈ Discharge the accupack from time to time during  
normal operation until the “Low Batt” indication  
lights up.  
The updated capacity is displayed after the next  
complete charge cycle.

Attaching the transmitter to clothing  
The transmitter is attached to clothing (e.g. belt, waistband) with  
the supplied belt clip. The clip is detachable so that you can also  
attach the transmitter with the cable and the antenna pointing  
downwards.  
̈ Withdraw the clip from its fixing points and attach it the other  
way round.

Adjusting the sensitivity  
The sensitivity switch º allows you to adjust the gain of the  
microphone input in 8 steps. To provide for an accurate setting,  
use a receiver fitted with a deviation indicator when adjusting the  
sensitivity. The sensitivity is set correctly when the PEAK LED ¶  
flashes brightly only during peak levels.  
In practice, the following settings have proved their worth for  
adjusting the sensitivity:
