[Howard Ferguson] "So, it's one Receiver per Microphone ?
One Mic and Receiver per portable Camera mount setup ?

>>Yes, normally. I have used one transmitter with several receivers in a few situations. One receiver fed the house PA system, the other fed a recorder or camera. We did this because the "house system" we were working with, where we could put our gear and what they wanted us to do required it.

::You could have a dozen or more receivers all tuned to the same transmitter. You just can't have two transmitters on the same frequency. In fact, even if two transmitters are NOT on the same frequency, you need them to be X far away in frequency (model depending) or they will interact.

>>I'm curious what one does, if they need to use two of those Mics for a portable shoot ?

::Put each on it's own frequency while observing the proper frequency spacing per the manual. Several wireless mic companies make two channel receivers. Some even slip into a slot on the camera.

>>With the portable receivers- they use a mini jack instead of the XLR.  
Is this going to be be good quality, considering there is an adapter involved ?

::The Sennheiser adapter cables are really pretty good.
