1 Brief description
The EK 3041-U is a miniature true diversity radiomicrophone receiver
designed for use with the new digital ENG camcorders. It can be inserted in
the slot-in facility of most professional camcorders such as the Philips LDK
120, Ikegami Hl-77 or Sony SX. Together with a suitable Sennheiser UHF
pocket or hand-held transmitter, a highly reliable radio link can be set up.
Annoying noise is effectively suppressed by HiDyn plus ® , the Sennheiser noise

Interchangeable mounting kits (for mounting the receiver into camcorders)
ensure suitability for a great variety of applications.
