[QUOTE="Jeff Stevens, post: 42968, member: 236"] Re: Value Wireless Mic system for Community Theater (AT3000 or EW100, etc) If it were my money, I would spend it on Sennheiser. Aside from the fact that one theatre I frequently work at has 8 ew300 G2 and 8 ew100 G2, I think the build quality is very good. The packs are mostly metal with a little plastic (the battery compartment door) and seem to be very durable. Their size is convenient and they do not require the batteries to be flipped positive to negative (seems small, but it saves time when putting batteries in since you can take them straight from the package). I agree that the weakest part of their design is the connector, particularly the strain relief on the molded plugs. While I have had to replace a few plugs on the elements, the connectors on the packs themselves seems pretty durable. Sometimes they slip a little and you need to tighten the lock ring, but I've had to do the same thing for the T4AM on the Shure units I own. Aside from the hardware, there are a few other reasons I would pick them over Mipro and probably AT. Their Evolution series is made in the USA and their higher lines are made in Germany (I go for domestic products whenever I can). Their support in Old Lyme, CT, has been great and not having to go through a dealer to get support really helps. Also, they have a switching bandwidth of 42MHz while Mipro is only 24MHz and AT is 25MHz. Finally, I'd encourage you to go one step up and look at the ew300 series. The major difference is the inclusion of Ethernet networking, which allows for remote monitoring of the system. [/QUOTE]
