I know the G3 is newer and improved but how much better are they than the G2?
I have tried searching for the G3 "improvements", but haven found anything.

Biggest improvement IMO is the inferred sync to set the packs and receivers up. Takes 10 seconds instead of trying to tune each receiver by hand.

Well, there's diversity, with the earpiece cable as a second antenna.
The limiter is more versatile, more RF bandwidth (42 vs. 36 MHz), maybe a few other minor changes...
Plus the sync feature Evan mentioned.

G2 IEM transmitters don't play well with Aviom mixer outputs.

-Ethernet port to connect directly to WSM software
-Finer adjustment of transmitter sensitivity
-Beltpack can scan and send free frequencies to receiver via IR
-AC3 combiner can power 4 transmitters via coax cable=only one power suply for 4 transmitters.
-30mW output power

Scott,
FYI: Here's a link that solves that issue. Note: Aviom fixed (implemented?) this in their mixers a while ago. I don't recall the SN's from memory, but everything from a certain SN onward filters the noise. I called them a few years ago and they were able to give me the SN of the change.

Matt,
The other guys pretty much covered the upgrades.
- More Power
- More BW
- Better S/N
- IR Sync
- Adaptive Diversity (via IEM shield)
- Finer Adjustments
- Built In Networkability
I hope this helps.
Thanks,

Very good, now tell us about the new digital 9046 microport system!
Re: Differences: Sennehiser ew300 IEM G2 and G3
Just did a measurement of the different combinations of G2 and 2000, as you can see the biggest audio BW improvement is in the transmitter!
PINK: 2000 transmitter, 2000 beltpack
blue: 2000 transmitter, G2 beltpack
green: G2 transmitter, G2 beltpack
red: G2 transmitter, 2000 beltpack

+1 on everything above.
I have carried G2, G3, PSM600, PSM700, PSM900, and Garwood/Future Sonics on different tours. I can't overstate the importance of the G3 diversity antenna switching. On the last Dolly tour I carried PSM900's (non-diversity). When they're not suffering multipath interference clicks, pops, and dropouts, they're the best sounding IEM's that I've ever carried on tour but the G3 beats the PSM900 on clean RF and is a close second in audio punch and S/N. If you have any musicians who are very sensitive to every tick, you might opt for G3's. FWIW, PSM1000's are diversity and sound just as great as PSM900's, but at a higher price per channel.
Jens,
The extended low end shown on your analysis is very much audible, and also applies to the EW300 IEM G3 transmitters. You guys will notice the difference right away if you have a chance to A/B them with a G2, good program material, and a high-end set of earpieces.
I have noticed one odd thing with G3's and I wonder if anyone else has heard this firsthand. When there's little or no audio signal present, I can hear a faint data-like beeping pattern coming from the right side. I have noticed it on many different EW300 IEM G3 rigs, attached to many different consoles. Can anyone concur?

AFAIK the 2000 and G3 packs contain the same electronics, just different firmware in the packs to open up the wider tuning area of the 2000 series. I have not noticed the data, but you can hear electronic clicks in the right side when operating the L/R balance....

I've got a bunch of G2 beltpacks and no transmitter... and have been totally unsuccessful at getting a G2 transmitter used. Can you use the G2 beltpacks with the G3 transmitter? I can find those.

Re: Differences: Sennehiser ew300 IEM G2 and G3
Yes, they are completely compatible, as long as they are in the same band. You even get to enjoy the extended lowend of the G3 transmitter.
Another thing that is good knowledge is the AC3 4 way combiner works fine with 100mW transmitters like the SR2000, although it is only meant for use with the G3.
