Sennheiser Wireless Tutorial on Vimeo Now if you are using 2 wireless sets, make sure that you are using the same Bank but different frequencies within that bank for each wireless. The reason for this is that Sennheiser created each Bank to house 4 frequencies within each that are spaced apart enough that they won't interfere with each other. But most important for multi wireless use is to do a frequency scan and find a Bank that has 4 free channels that you can use. |

If you are talking about those settings on the Z1, they are as follows.
CH1+CH2: Only ONE input is plugged into one onboard XLR. This might be either a mic or wireless receiver plugged into your onboard camera XLR. Your one mono source then split between both L/R channels to create a faux stereo signal. So if you were only to plug in a shotgun mono mic into CH1, then the signal would be split between your L/R (CH1/2) stereo audio on tape. CH1/CH2: TWO inputs are plugged into BOTH CH1 and CH2 XLRs. Usually this is a wireless in one channel (CH1) and shotgun mic on CH2. |

For a Z1 the procedure is the same, wireless in one channel and shotgun mic into another. The new Sony Z5 lets you use one XLR channel for wireless (if desired) and also the onbaord stere mic or other XLR port. So the onboard stereo mic isn't disabled when you plug in anotehr audio input into the caera like previous Sony cameras. Very cool. |

As for which XLR input (ch1 or ch2), it doesn't matter, as you have separate control over each input as needed. And as for using an XLR box with the FX1, the same scenario applies, as once yo plug into the FX1's 1/8 mic port, the onboard mic is deactivated. As I aid this was changed with the new Sony Z5, as the circuitry was wired to take an XLR input without disabling the onboard mic for use if desired. But this can't be accomplished with the Z1. |

If you are using 2 XLR inputs, wireless + either shotgun input or wireless/line input, then you select CH1 for the one XLR input, and leave the other as is. this will send each XLR input to independent L/R channels. |
