Sennheiser EW 122P G3-B camera microphone set
Product no: S-EW122PG3 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

You will never be bothered by background noise entering your microphone again, if you use Sennheiser’s ME 4 clip-on cardioid microphone. The high-directivity of this microphone blocks ambient sounds which makes the EW 122p G3 an excellent camera microphone. The transmitter and portable receiver are equipped with built-in power contacts in case you want to charge the optional rechargeable battery by Sennheiser. The receiver uses the line cable as a second aerial so the signal of the EW 122p G3 remains strong.

Sennheiser’s G3 series is the successor of the famous G2 series. This new series of wireless systems distinguishes itself with a wide range of new possibilities. For example, the G3 series contains a built-in equalizer, IR synchronisation, battery status and new 19 inch rack mounts.

Wrote the following about Sennheiser EW 122P G3-B camera microphone set

Wederom een snelle levering, geheel volgens afspraak. Dat maakte in dit geval het verschil tussen een video-opname die ik volledig (en tijdig) naar wens kon afronden en iets wat voor verbetering vatbaar zou zijn. Het geluid van deze set is subliem en dé oplossing voor opnames waarbij het achtergrondgeluid (klimaatbeheersing/airco etc.) kan worden buitengesloten. Tot zover een vlekkeloze ontvangst zonder ruis/storing. Maar slechts 2 keer gebruikt. Het enige wat ontbreekt aan deze set is een aansluiting voor een koptelefoon, zodat het geluid direct gecheckt kan worden. Aan de andere kant mis je dat niet wanneer je camera over zo'n aansluiting beschikt. Daar houd ik dus rekening mee bij de aankoop van een volgende camera.

Snelle levering, weekend besteld maandag al geleverd. Top kwaliteit, werkte gelijk.
Wel goed opletten dat je de microfoon bevestigd in de richting van het geluid.
Ook gebruikt met Zoom HN-7, sybliem geluid!
