General

Every vocal system out of the 500 G3 series is equipped with a capsule out of the successful Sennheiser Evolution 900 stage line, that is used on stage by many acts. This system uses the true condenser 965. The microphone is based on the Evolution E 965, a high-quality resonance and distortion-free microphone. The capsule can easily switch between a cardioid and super-cardioid pickup pattern. This system also contains the EM 500 rackmount receiver that can be easily synchronised with the E 965 via the push of a button. The 500 G3 series is equipped with a frequency bank system of 32 frequencies, a solid, metal housing, an Ethernet connection with which you can connect Wireless Systems Manager (WSM) software for computer controls, a user-friendly menu and an illuminated dot-matrix screen.
