Wireless microphone systems
What would you guys recommend for a wireless system? I am going to shoot a wedding in a few months, and also have some random stuff lined up, such as dentist office/doctor/etc. I have been looking at the Sennheiser G2 100 model.

In price vs features, the Sennheiser G2 system wins. If you can afford to spend more (perhaps a lot more), Lectrosonics is the industry standard. I have a Sennheiser system and love it. I have only had minor static in an 80x100 foot room filled with about 100-200 people with cellphones on. Very good for a sub $1,000 system.

What kit do you recommend? I am looking at the $550 kit, but I am confused at what the $699 kit has to offer. There is some xlr wireless transmitter... Or I think that is what it is. Does this then allow you to use a condensor mic or a mic that needs powered?
And what is better the m2 or m4 mic? |
The XLR plug-on transmitter is for turning any XLR handheld or shotgun mic into a wireless mic. The G2 100 series doesn't provide phantom power, but the G2 500 series does.
The difference between the M2 and M4 I believe is the pickup pattern. One is omni and one is cardioid. |
which would you recommend, for like a wedding or for an interview scenerio

Sennheiser | Evolution G2 100 Series - UHF | EW112PG2 - B | B&H This is what I purchased.
I wanted a lavalier mic so you can't see it. |
Steve... I've been following your thread since I'm also interested in getting a new mic set. One question, what kind of a camera mount do you use with the Sennheiser receiver? Or does the receiver have a built-in mount. I would favor a shoe mount that permits the receiver to lie flat on the camera rather that stick up.
Thanks, Bob |
The receiver mounts on the shoe, and I also ordered a Y bracket from adorama (free shipping on this item) for $29.99. This will allow shotgun mic and receiver at the same time.

Wireless mics and silk ties NO-NO!
I used my Sennheiser wireless omni a week ago on a ballroom dance instructor. My wife had cautioned me against using the mic on a silk tie. Sure enough any movement caused the tie to rustle and the mic would pick it up.
Otherwise the mic worked extremely well. Very strong signal with no dropouts. cheers |

convert Sennheiser ME66 to wirelss???
Hi
I have a wired Sennheiser ME-66. What do I need to do to convert this to being wireless. Is it simply get a transmitter for the end of the mic and a matching receiver? Hoping I don't have to buy a new mic. |
You need the SKP100 or SKP500 depending on power requirements. The 500 provides phantom power.
