I've been looking for a wireless or client-worn solution for some time now. I tried the Zoom F1 as soon as it came out, since I've been very happy with the Zoom products I already have (the H6 and F8n), but the self-noise and generally tinny sound made it unusable for me. I then tried the Rode Wireless Go, as soon as I saw some of the ecstatic reviews, but I use an external lav mic which caused interference, a wide-latitude whine which couldn't be targeted with filters. I suppose I could have bought another lav, but, hey, I already have a couple of good ones (Tram TR50's), right? Then I saw the price drop on this, with another bonus incentive, and grabbed it. It was what I was looking for all along. The sound on this is rich and crystal clear, with a low noise floor, and seems to have really good transmission capabilities. I walked around in the office space here, and went behind a concrete wall, and there was no problem. And it works flawlessly with the lavs I already have (as I say, two Tram Tr50's which fortunately have a battery option, since the 112p system has no phantom power). I did a test on the battery life, transmitting dialogue and recording - I set a movie on a loop - and the units ran and ran on two rechargeable AA batteries. They finally conked out somewhere between 9 and 11 hours. I don't have anything to say about the ME2-II microphone, as I haven't used it and don't intend to. I've seen enough online reviews to know that it won't give us the sound we need. So far, I have no criticisms at all about this unit. It works as well as wiring the mics directly into the F8n. You can tell that these are professional units, built to be reliable. ... More

I was excited to use my new G4 system. I tested it, and everything sounded great. Two days later, I setup at my video shoot. Nothing but static. After lots of troubleshooting, the problem was a bad cable. The XLR to 1/8 cable that is included in the system had a short. Fortunately, I had a boom mic and finished the shoot. I ordered a replacement Sehnnheiser XLR to 1/8 cable for $39.99, and it works fine. However, the replacement cable has a PLASTIC connector rather than a metal connector that secures the mic to the transmitter. I expected a little bit better quality control from a $600 mic system. So, always have a backup cable. ... More

Let me start by saying at the time of writing this review BNH was offering $120 gift card with the purchase of this unit. Before I purchase this unit I was looking into other units such as tentacle sync and tascam. However after discussing it with a few friends who owned both I decided this was the best value for my money especially with the gift card that was being offered. However, I was unsure which frequency to purchase. SenHeiser did not have their frequency information available on their website at this time and so I ended up calling BNH and talking to representative. They advise me on purchasing this unit because it was the most recent block of frequencies that had been released by the company and that I would have my best bet of getting as many channels as possible with this unit. This is absolutely correct as the first time I used it was at a huge conference and I had no issues with 12 channels available. The microphone while bigger than the earlier microphones was still very good and picked up even by standards that were talking with my client. A failed H for zoom recording made this a huge win for me as I was still able to pick up usable audio from interviews. I can't recommend this unit enough and it's the perfect time to buy especially if the gift card is still being offered. ... More

I own the EW100 G3 lav system, but only one of them. I rented the EW112P for a 2-person interview and used both systems (outdoors). I used my Countryman B3 Omni on the G3 and the included ME 2-II Omnidirectional Lav Mic on the EW112P thinking the mic would be fine. It was NOT. The Countryman B3 was brilliant. The ME 2-II was so bad I couldn't EQ it to be anything better than only very slightly better. Wind noise, background noise and every other type of noise was pronounced while the vocal was thin. Huge mistake on my part not doing a test comparison ahead of time, but was traveling. So, buy the system, but definitely buy the Countryman B3 as your lav mic. That little mic had no wind noise even bare and isolated/enhanced the voice brilliantly despite heavy jet noise and helicopters from the nearby airport flying overhead. ... More

I used a nearly identical Sennheiser G3 model from 2010-2018 that operated in the 600 Mhz range that the FCC is no longer allowing, so I bought this to replace it, and it has performed exactly as expected. I highly recommend it, and have noticed some improvements (like the mic clip) over my older model. I especially appreciate the quick "sync" option where the receiver will find open channels in an area and sync with the transmitter on that open frequency. I work in a rural area where this is rarely a problem, but it is very helpful when needed. I also really appreciate that it is powered by AA batteries, and am really happy with the system using 1/8" mini plugs. ... More

I have always been a fan of Sennheiser and Sony Microphones. I have used them on many of my projects. When the opportunity came for me to buy the Sennheiser EW 112P G4 I jump at the chance especially since the price was right. When the package arrived everything that came in the box was there. The manuals, batteries, cables, transmitter and receiver and the camera mounted bracket. I couldn't wait to put it to use. The following day I had a project to film and the ambient noise was a little noisy. However I was able to adjust the MICROPHONE SENSITIVITY and it turned out great. I did used it with my Tascam DR-60DMKII which was a big help. I tested it with my camera and the sound was way better then the camera mic (that's a given). I would highly recommend the Sennheiser EW 112P G4 to any independent film maker should your budget afford it. Ignore the labels on the receivers they are mine. Thanks so much B&H for expedited shipment to Texas! The expedited shipment may not work where you live check their website for shipping requirements. ... More

I upgraded from a G2 and a G3 set, both of which were in the 600mhz block. I started to experience lots of interference in the last year with those sets, likely due to the auction of that frequency block. The G4 looks and operates almost exactly like the older units, except for a new nice white lcd backlight. So far my interference issues have disapeared, and the G4 seems to last all day on one set of batteries. The sound quality seems great to my ears, especially with upgraded lav mics.

My first wireless package for my one-man production business. Used a Sony set in my previous corporate job, but this had better B&H reviews. Pairing was pretty straightforward, but wish the set had included text instructions, rather than just diagrams. Downloaded the Sennheiser Documentation app, and that had complete text and visual instructions, though the layout was confusing. Read the reviews about the less-than-stellar included lav mic, but it serves the purpose until I can justify the cost of a better lav. The set worked great for me on my most recent gigs, so no real complaints. Docked a star for the insufficient instructions. ... More

Purchased six G4s (A1: 470 to 516 MHz) for a film shoot in Las Vegas. In the majority of locations we were filming in, when we did a frequency scan, most frequencies had 0 channels available. 1-2 frequencies had 1 channel available. We needed 6 channels available on a single frequency to operate our six G4s. Sennheiser need to offer more frequencies without expecting customers to pay 50% more for their EW 500 'film' range. The lack of available channels made our decision to go with the G4s a trainwreck. We could not use the units due to lack of available channels. We were deeply disappointed. ... More

Great product! I've used them on shoots and rented them out, and everybody's been pretty happy with them. Not sure how they compare to the G3's but from what I understand, these are better in range. I've dropped them a few times (whoops) and they did not break. I would say to pay attention to the antenna, sometimes I get weird interference (but that's pretty much any radio device). Also, I put a piece of black electric tape over the transmitter lights so that they don't illuminate through t-shirts and such.

I've been using Senheisser G-series mics since I got into the video production world. They're reliable, easy to adjust, and give you clear audio for interviews.

I was looking at getting the newer fancy model that auto connects (can't remember what it's called), but one thing I love about this specific series of mics is the control you get over the frequency.
