Câble microphonique
À peu près ce qu'on s'attend d'un sans-fil à 1000$. C'est-à-dire que je ne ferais pas le son d'une grosse production avec parce que ce n'est pas assez stable pour avoir la paix d'esprit mais pour feeder le son à la cam pour la sync c'est super.
Le micro ne sonne pas mal. Un peu scooped mais clair. Le problème est le câble en acier. Il est si rigide que dès qu'on accroche le câble, le frottement se rend directement à la capsule et fait bcp de bruit, ce qui rend la dissimulation de micro bcp plus difficile.
Le « cable saver » de Bubblebee est, à mon avis, indispensable pour quiconque souhaite utiliser ce micro. J'en ai mis deux de suite à deux pouces de la capsule et différence est immense. C'est un investissement nécessaire à l'achat de ce micro pour quiconque veut éviter de perdre des cheveux sur un set.

Great budget system that still gets the job done.
I own several of these EW 512P G4 systems and use them along with other systems for documentary filmmaking. They have always performed well under non-demanding situations for me. The MKE2 lav mic that comes with the set just doesn't cut it, sounds terrible to me. Lire plus
I replace them with Sanken Cos11D's. The max RF 50 mW power does the trick but for more demanding situations I rely on the Lectrosonics units with RF 100 mW power or even my Lectrosonics SPDR. I'm not crazy about the menu layout on the Sennheiser's, I think they could do a better job with that. Overall I am happy with the 500 G4 system and would recommend it to any serious documentary filmmaker (just not the MKE2 lav mic).

A slight update to the classic G3's
These are basically the same as the G3's so there shouldn't be too much of a re-learning curve. Battery life is great (even-though the low batt light seems to always be on for some reason). The MKE 2 Gold mic to me is certainly worth the extra cost, no doubt about it. Lire plus
It's compact, easy to hide and sounds leagues better than the regular MKE lavs. The only thing (and I'm not sure if this is a Sennheiser thing) but I do find some interference once in a while with these. Seeing that I'm in Vancouver, I have a feeling that the 500 Mhz range is quite busy with other productions... If you don't mind re-buying in a year or so, go with the 600 Mhz and above for the time being as I have a set in this range and never have any problems. Very slick set.
