Frequently Asked Questions (Continued)
What is cable emulation?
Cable emulation allows a guitar player to add the effect of cable back into their instrument’s tone.
Longer cables add increasing amounts of capacitance, which can “load” the instrument’s pickups. The
result is a subtle but pleasing reduction of the instrument’s high frequencies. When guitarists move
from traditional cables to a wireless system, the sudden lack of capacitance can sound too bright or
“clean”. Cable emulation allows guitars to dial in three increasing levels (low / medium / high) of that
familiar treble roll-off back into their sound.
Why can’t I front-mount my antennas on the GA3 rack ears? The rack rails seem to get
in the way of the two holes.
To rack-mount the antennas on a full 19” rack unit, you will need the GA3030-AM accessory. This
accessory includes two rack handle mounting pieces that will enable you to attach the female BNC
bulkhead to the rack, right where there are already drilled and tapped threads. The antenna cable
will pass through the rack mount, via the holes, to the back of the receiver where it will connect. More
common is the use of the GA3 with the AM2. This allows one to rack mount a single system and place
the antennas in the same rack space on the included blank panel.
How do I use the built-in guitar tuner on my ew 100 or 500 series G3 receiver?
From the factory, the Tuner is inactive. To activate, access the receiver’s menus by pressing the “SET”
button. Use the up/down buttons (100 series) or jog dial (500 series) to find the “Advanced” menu
and press “SET.” Find “Guitar Tuner” and press “SET” again. Change the setting from “Inactive” to
either “Active” or “Audio Mute.” Press “SET” to store, and then tap the power button to exit to the
main operating screen. With the tuner now active, use the up/down buttons or jog wheel to access
the tuner screen. With the tuner set to “Active,” the receiver will always pass audio as you tune. If you
set the tuner to “Audio Mute,” the receiver will automatically mute the audio when the tuner screen is
active, allowing you to tune in silence.
Where’s the mute switch on the handheld?
SKM 100 / 500 G3 handheld transmitters do not have a “Mute” button. True professional
microphones (wired and wireless) usually do not have a mute button, as Front of House wants to
retain control over the audio. If a mute button is desired for a specific application, the SKM 300 G3
handheld transmitter does have a programmable button. You can program this model to have the
mute latch on/off, or be momentary such as “push to talk” or “push to cough.” In addition, you can
disable it entirely.
