5.0 out of 5 stars Near flawless wireless microphone and NO 9V batteries needed!, July 20, 2006

I'm a television producer/director using two Panasonic HVX200's at 24P and this Sennheiser wireless microhone. Thus far, we've shot 5 indoor/outdoor shows for two series with the microphone and I must say it's quite impressive. I'm not an audio expert but I know when something's working well. What's amazing to me is that these units use only two 1.5 volt AA batteries each AND the batteries generally last an entire 12 hour day! I have a 9V battery based Samson wireless microphone system that's downright voltage thirsty by comparison. (I have to replace the Samson batteries every couple of hours.) The sound quality of the Sennheiser is consistently excellent at various ranges with only an occasional audio hit or dropout. The main tme we've experienced the hits are when our subject is further away; say 75 feet or so. On those occasions, we've remedied the problem by either switching frequencies or by positioning the transmitter or receiver on a more direct line-of-sight orientation.

The construction of the mic and receiver are solid, top drawer all the way. I have NOT read the thick instruction manual, nor do I intend to. My cameraman knows enough to be able to change frequencies when need be, so that's fine by me.

So, in summary, this is an excellent microphone system. It works equally well indoors or out. The quality of the sound we've recorded with it is exceptional. Don't hesitate to make this your primary wireless microphone purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Product for Both Prosumers and Professionals, May 13, 2008

I would consider my expertise on audio technology to be somewhere in between the prosumer and professional level, making this wireless microphone kit ideal for my needs.

My production crew is still pretty new to the industry. We used to have a corded microphone that we would shoot with and our talent was responsible for dealing with the cord. After watching local television crews use their wireless microphone systems with such ease, we decided a transition to wireless was a must.

The problem was that professional microphone systems were so cost prohibitive and many of them needed to be permanently mounted to a professional camera and we were still using prosumer level cameras. The great compromise however was finding this product which gave us the same functionality of a professional television crew, with the compact size and affordable price tag of a small mobile television crew.

We have used the mic kit with our Panasonic HVX200 to perfection and the sound quality is phenomenal. The kit literally has everything you will need. You cannot find another prosumer mic kit that has both a plug-on transmitter and a bodypack transmitter with an included receiver at this price. Highly recommended. Buy today and you will not regret it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Videographers MUST have this System!!!, June 4, 2008

I am a videographer, I specialize in weddings. I must say I have been trying to find a good wireless mic system for over a year now. I have done my homework and my conclusion was for the price this system is the best. It's easy to use, very well BUILT, and gives you great audio. If you are looking for a good wireless mic system BELIEVE me this is the one you want to buy. The cool part of this system is you can take the plug-in transmitter and plug it into a dynamic Sennheiser mic and Bam you now have a wireless handhled micrphone. In closing this is a great product and I can't stress enough if you want professional audio for under $1,000 than don't settle for anything else but this one I mean it.
