[QUOTE="Mike Caldwell, post: 215015, member: 170"] I know the system you have now well! I always felt the original AT3000 series fell into the sweet spot of price and preformance. Both of your system choices work great, there are a couple things to consider though. If you plan to use any of the lapel or headset mics you have now and are using with the older AT3000 series they will not connect to the new Gen4 3000 body packs unless you get the AT adapter cable. They changed the connector on the new packs, I have no idea what they were thinking!! On both the Sennheiser and AT body packs to turn them on you need to open the battery door to get the switch. That's good to keep the power from accidentally getting turned off but your everyday non pro users may fiddle around trying to get the door open and then for get to turn them off. The mute switches are easy to get to on the top of both body packs. On the hand held mics the AT power switch requires unscrewing the sliding battery cover to get to and it's a tiny sliding switch that turns on the power. Again great to keep the power switch from accidentally getting turned off, maybe not so great for the non pro user. The mute button is on the bottom of the AT mic and kind of hard to get to, again that can be good or not so good! The Sennheiser power button is on the bottom of the mic fairly easy to get to, the mute button is on the side of the mic right below the mic capsule. The Sennheiser buttons are rubber and i have seen them get picked apart from nervous mic users!! It comes down to the ergonomics of the mic controls more than anything else. [/QUOTE]
