Sennheiser RMS 1 Mute button for SK 300 G3 and G4, wired

Sennheiser RMS 1 Remote Wired Mute Switch

The Sennheiser RMS 1 (Article Number: 503164) is a professional, wired remote mute switch engineered explicitly for the evolution wireless SK 300 G3 and SK 300 G4 digital/analog bodypack transmitters. Designed for theater performers, corporate presenters, clergy, and live broadcast anchors, this cable-bound switch allows the talent to mute their microphone audio completely by feel, without having to reach under costumes or clothes to touch the physical bodypack.

Key Operational and Hardware Attributes

• Advanced Custom Control (Push-to-Talk / Push-to-Mute): The RMS 1 can be digitally programmed directly via the advanced software menu of the connected SK 300 transmitter. It can function as a traditional latching audio toggle, a Push-to-Talk (PTT) button, or a Push-to-Mute (PTM) switch for rapid coughing or off-camera remarks.

• Direct Hardware Port Integration: Features a specialized structural plug that interfaces with the dedicated auxiliary control input on the top panel of the SK 300 series bodypack, ensuring it remains securely fastened alongside your microphone cable.

• Streamlined Clip Mounting: Built with an integrated, heavy-duty clothing clip that enables the user to anchor the micro-button cleanly onto a shirt lapel, cuff, costume collar, or pocket trim for instant access.

• Stage-Proof Silent Switching: The internal mechanics use a silent, non-clicking tactical switch design. This avoids generating mechanical pop artifacts or audible electrical clicks in the live PA system or broadcast track when engaged.

Transmitter Setup and Menu Integration Advice

Configuring the Software Logic: Simply plugging the RMS 1 into the SK 300 transmitter will not activate its functions immediately. You must map the accessory button inside the transmitter’s internal firmware. Navigate to the Advanced > Mute Mode menu layout on your bodypack transmitter display. From there, change the parameter to "AF On/Off" (for standard audio line muting) or define it strictly as "Push-to-Talk" depending on the specific requirements of the production.

Managing Cable Routing and Strain: When dressing the talent, guide the thin control wire alongside the primary lavalier or headset microphone cable using small cable bands or surgical tape. Avoid twisting or sharply bending the RMS 1 cable around the bodypack base, as excessive strain over time can break the inner copper shielding strands, leading to intermittent connection dropouts or erratic mute triggers mid-show.
