Sam Kashefi Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 So i have two of these EW100 receivers with the same condition. tried to open one of them , but antenna is somehow sealed into a plastic box. Is there any way i can fix this by myself ? or do you know anyone who can do this? i've contacted sennheiser here in dubai , but they just said " Buy a new one " Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Visser Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 You can purchase new antennas from your dealer, but you will have to desolder the antenna block from the PCB and solder the new one on. My dealer charges about $10 per antenna. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Reineke Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 I believe this was covered already, with photos, ect. of course still not a job for the inexperienced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Kashefi Posted October 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Thanks Tom , can you send me your Sennheiser dealer's contacts? $10,$20 is worth it , since i have two units with the same problem. i don't think i can find those spare antennas here in dubai. Sennheiser dealer in here just sell new products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Miramontes Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 I believe Eric Toline can repair those too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason porter Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 With the replacement antenna, the right screwdriver (torx) & soldering iron, this is about the easiest repair I have ever made. Literally one small, easily accessible solder joint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sennheiser dealer in here just sell new products. You can buy the antennas direct from Sennheiser. Be sure to specify the block. Here in the U.S. the telephone number is: 1-877-736-6434 x 136. There might be an email contact for parts on the Sennheiser website. If you need to send the unit to Sennheiser for repair, you should know that Sennheiser has a flat rate repair charge of $120 for G2/3 tx and $205 for the G2/3 rx. I have replacement antennas in stock and can replace your antennas for you at $50 each but I'm not sure about the shipping time back & forth. You can contact me at audioetc@bellsouth.net for more information. Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Kashefi Posted October 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Eric, will check with Sennheiser In Dubai , if it's no go then i'll ship it to you for a service. Merci ! ( Thanks In Farsi ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( Thanks In Farsi ) It's also thanks in French. If it turns out that you want me to do the repair we'll have to talk via email or Skype. What blocks are the units tuned for as there are no parts available for any Sennheiser wireless here above 700MHz or Sennheiser block C.

Hugh Holesome Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Not to hijack the thread, but has anyone tried to replace these with BNC to use shark fins in a cart situation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Toline Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Not to hijack the thread, but has anyone tried to replace these with BNC to use shark fins in a cart situation? Highly doubtful a BNC connector would work due to the size, mounting requirements and only a single antenna connection point on the PCB.

jason porter Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 You could always cut down one from block A or B. It's also thanks in French.

Ezekiel974 Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 is it possible to mount a SMA connector , so you can be able to screw or unscrew the antenna quickly and easy to change ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Toline Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 is it possible to mount a SMA connector , so you can be able to screw or unscrew the antenna quickly and easy to change ? I don't think there's enough space to mount the SMA connector effectively. Even if there were the electronic connections are not the same for the SMA antenna. The G series antennas have an active electronic block at the base that allows for a single PCB connection. Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eombilod Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 hey guys i found a link that might get people pumping on having their whip antenna on a G3 to an SMA connector which if that works, could surely mount your ew 100 g3 to an antenna system thus giving a cheaper alternative to everyone. http://www.amalgamate2000.com/sales/boosting_the_operating_range.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
