Re: Wireless Systems

Hello Phillip and welcome to the Cow Audio Forum.

Sorry for the reality check, but you should be looking at your checking account; maybe buy a lottery ticket. Really good wireless audio doesn't happen at $500-$600 per set.

The best wireless audio I have heard (and I review gear for a living) is the Audio Ltd. 2040 with a Sanken COS-11 lav. That'll run you around $5k per set. For a listen, check out the files in the Audio Ltd folder on my site here. http://idisk.mac.com/tyreeford-Public/Audio?view=web
The range of the Audio Ltd is also the biggest I have measured.

Following that are Lectrosonics and Zaxcom. They run around $2500 to around $4k.

The Sennheiser G series, at about $600 are entry level for pro work. Replacing the stock mic with a better one (add $300-$400) and you'll improve the sound. I think the new G3 series comes with the MKE2 mic which is supposed to be better than the ME2.

Regards,

Ty Ford
