Re: Wireless Microphones




Mostly EW100, we have some older G1 stuff, as well as newer G3, a lot of the older stuff got pulled when the 700MHz band got sold off.


My local theatre gig recently replaced our AKG wireless (I don't recall the specific model) with Sennheiser EW100 with 935 capsules, the increase in quality was apparent to everyone, including the office people. The EW100 series is great for smaller operations, and definitely an upgrade from the XSW stuff.


Guys running larger wireless set ups seem to go for the EW500 or even the 2000 series as they offer some "pro" features that make wrangling multiple systems easier, I've had luck running up to 20 channels of wireless but the lack of monitoring and frequency co-ordination on the lower end Sennheiser wireless means you have to do a bit more work to ensure trouble-free performance. I'm sure someone with more experience can chime in on the difference between EW100 and the pro stuff.
