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

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)
