Sennheiser Wireless Capsules

[Ben Lawrence]

I am assisting in speccing some wireless HH units for a broadcast application. I didn't realize there were so many capsules to chose from in the Sennheiser line. I think the budget is there for the best performance but keep in mind this would not be for a amplified sound stage. If anyone has any experience and might be able to recommend the best suited capsule for this use that would be great.
They'd be using it primarily for vocal and occasional instrument pickup...and chances are that there would be a little distance between the talent and the mic at times.

We have a set of the MMD 835, 845, and MMK965 capsules for our 2000 and EW500 series Sennheiser units. I like the MMK 965 the best and it has switchable cardioid and super cardioid patterns, so that makes it a little more versatile.

We use 945 and 965 in the 2000 series, 835 in the G3 series. I like the 945 all around. The 965 is sweet, but very pricey.
