Adding additional mic Sennheiser G2

John Willett · October 10th, 2008, 05:34 AM

And .................... If you bought a Sennheiser MKH 416 when they first came out in 1975 you could sell it s/h today for at least double what you paid for it in the first place - you can also buy a new one today if you like.

You would have gotten through about ten changes of camera in that time.

Anyway - in most cases the pictures are not really important - they are just there to keep your eyes occupied while you listen to the sound. ;-)

I too have a dual G2 setup, it's great. I use it frequently on my XHA1.
Having a decent wireless system is a real advantage in al kinds of shoots. You acted wisely in buying the 2nd G2 set. It's a good investment that will serve you well over time.

I have a sennheiser g2 ew100 setup and need another one.
I am concidering buying this used.

Im wondering what the used price for the ew100 transmitter and reciever should be. Anybody have a oppinion of that?

Good points... certainly an investment, but well worth it.

Vegard... I looked everywhere for a used one, no good deals. I ended up going with AVGiant via eBay and made an offer of 475.00, which was accepted. It shipped quickly and was brand new from the factory. Now I need to bite the bullet on another Tram mic...

My rig keeps growing and growing:
