The Sennheiser EK 100 G4-A is a compact, portable diversity receiver designed specifically for integration with professional video cameras and field recording kits within the 516 to 558 MHz frequency band. This receiver is part of Sennheiser's Evolution Wireless G4 series and is engineered to deliver robust, high-quality wireless audio transmission for ENG (Electronic News Gathering), documentary filmmaking, and electronic field production. Its form factor is optimized to mount securely onto a camera's hot shoe or via a mounting plate, providing a streamlined, self-contained audio solution that minimizes cabling and setup time in fast-paced shooting environments. The receiver features true diversity operation with two separate antenna inputs, continuously selecting the strongest RF signal to prevent dropouts and ensure a stable audio link with the wireless transmitter.

The EK 100 G4-A offers a user-friendly interface with a clear OLED display that shows critical information such as selected frequency, RF and audio level meters, battery status, and system settings. It includes advanced features like an automatic frequency scan to find the clearest available channel, Pilot Tone squelch to mute output noise when the transmitter is off or out of range, and adjustable audio output level to match the camera's input sensitivity. The receiver provides both a balanced, professional-level XLR output and an unbalanced 3.5mm mini-jack output, offering flexible connectivity to a wide range of cameras, recorders, and mixers. Power can be supplied via two standard AA batteries, an optional DC power supply, or directly from certain cameras through a dedicated power-out port.

Built to withstand the demands of location work, the receiver features a rugged metal casing. Its integration with the Evolution Wireless G4 ecosystem allows it to be paired with a wide variety of G4 transmitters, including bodypacks with lavalier microphones or handheld units. The Sennheiser EK 100 G4-A provides broadcast audio professionals with a reliable, high-performance wireless link that is essential for capturing clean, interference-free audio directly to camera, enhancing production value and workflow efficiency in any field production scenario.
