The Sennheiser EW 100 G4-CI1-A1 is a specialized professional wireless system configured as a complete instrument set, designed to provide electric guitarists, bassists, and keyboard players with cable-free mobility on stage. Operating within the 470 to 516 MHz UHF frequency band, this system delivers stable, interference-resistant RF performance suitable for live performances in a variety of venues. The set is centered around a unique bodypack transmitter that integrates a high-quality direct input (DI) circuit, allowing musicians to plug their instrument cable directly into the transmitter using a standard 1/4-inch jack. This design captures the pure instrument signal at the source and transmits it wirelessly to the true-diversity receiver, effectively replacing a standard instrument cable and providing freedom of movement without compromising tone.

The bodypack transmitter is built with a rugged metal housing for durability and features the integrated DI circuit designed to preserve the full frequency response and dynamic range of the instrument. This ensures that the nuanced character of the guitar or bass, including its pickups and onboard electronics, is faithfully captured and transmitted. The compact portable receiver offers a straightforward interface with a clear display for monitoring RF signal strength and battery status, along with essential controls for channel selection and output level adjustment. Its true-diversity reception system utilizes two internal antennas to minimize dropouts, providing a reliable audio link even as the performer moves around a stage with other active wireless systems.

Engineered for seamless integration into a musician's signal chain, the system employs Sennheiser's wide-band companding technology to deliver transparent, low-noise audio with a wide dynamic range. The receiver provides both balanced XLR and unbalanced 6.3 mm jack outputs, allowing direct connection to a guitar amplifier input, a pedalboard, or a mixing console. Sold as a complete set with necessary accessories, the EW 100 G4-CI1-A1 offers a practical and reliable wireless solution for instrumentalists seeking the freedom of wireless performance without the need for additional external DI boxes or complex setup, making it an ideal tool for touring musicians and bands.
