Is this one good?

Can you guys point out a particular product that provides the most bang for the buck? thanks

The Audia Tehnica is a fine unit. I'm sure you'd be very happy with it. For the money, you'd be very hard pressed to find something better

I' however have 2 quetions regarding it

It doesn't come wi/ a xlr connector, so i should buy the 1/8th to xlr connector to make it work, right?

2ndly, there were a lot of frequency ranges options for the same evolution series for sennheiser. I picked the one that goes from 740 to 770ish. Is higher better, or is a freq around 500 to 540 better?

Pls help out, thanks

You need a cable to go from the receiver to the camera. Which type of connector depends on the camera. If you have a mini or 1/8" socket on the cam then yes, you need an XLR to mini.

I use the higher freqs, seems to me at least that there is less chance of clashing with other stuff. You should be fine with that freq range.

I got a Sennheiser EV100 G2 system not too long ago. . .for $430 or so at a place in Houston. What's wrong with that system? Certainly seems broadcast-worthy to me.
