Mrz 2008 12:00 12 The SK 3202 portable transmitter The SK 3202 is a portable stereo transmitter, allowing you to offer personal guided tours using your system. The SK 3202 ensures excellent speech intelligibility even over longer distances. There will be no crowding around the guide; other visitors will not be disturbed by the guided tour (and vice versa). The visitors to the tour can enjoy complete freedom of movement. A few mouse clicks are all that is required to configure the portable transmitter and any number of receivers for a guided tour. The portable transmitter is easy to use. During a guided tour, the portable transmitter does not in-
terfere with the reception of Storage and Live Events. Using the portable transmitter, the receivers participating in the guided tour can be seamlessly switched between the guid-
ed tour and any Events. Suitable receivers The SK 3202 portable transmitter only works with the Sen-
nheiser EK 3202 receivers. 5 SK3200_516571_0507_SP5.book Seite 6 Dienstag, 25. Mrz 2008 12:00 12 Suitable microphones You can connect one of the following Sennheiser micro-
