Professional package at Prosumer price July 28, 2009
lf4tune (Chatsworth, CA USA)
I am a professional and we've used these now for about 5 years (maybe more) -- it is an incredible value for the money. I've put these up against Wireless systems that cost +/- 4000 USD and the Sennheiser knocks the windsocks off the "professional" brands as far as I'm concerned. We have (more than once) concealed one of these on a race car driver, under his racesuit and picked up perfect audio as long as he was in range ... which I think is better than some of the competitors as well!
Sennheiser ew100 Engg2 wireless lavaliere rocks big time May 20, 2009
Lynn (New Orleans, the Crescent City USA)
I don't know why I waited so late to purchase this mike system. It is surely a must needed mike system for videographers. It makes a statement when you are shooting and wire someone with a Sennheiser as apposed to a wired unit or lessor brand. This product is designed in Germany and assembled in the USA not China. There are tutorials you can watch in youtube. Yes this is a pricy investment, but it is worth it. Many units sell for over $1,000 so this is the best one for the money from my research.
Great range, excellent features! October 19, 2008

I did my research on Amazon and other sites such as B&H Photo Video, and the Sennheiser G2 was consistently touted as the best model for videographers. The videographer for my sister's wedding used the same model (though he sloppily mic'd my brother in law, which I fixed).
I bought this unit for a wedding at Chaminade in Santa Cruz, Ca. I used the autoscan on the receiver to find open channels, set the transmitter pac to that frequency, and then mic'd the groom. I did not experience any interference, I was even able to hear the groom when he was indoors and I was in the courtyard (several walls, probably 100-200 feet).
There are some concerns in other reviews about the quality of the included lavalier. I found the lavalier to be adequate, it even stood up to a slight wind (though i will probably buy a wind screen for the future).
I would highly recommend this unit to anyone needing solid performance form a wireless mic unit. It definitely not a casual investment, but it is a great unit.
**Uses and settings for the wedding**
Placement: Mic'd groom on his coat (his right side), half loop of wire through the alligator clip to prevent some rubbing. Twisty tied excess slack and tucked into groom's inside pocket, clipped transmitter unit to groom's belt on the back side.
Settings: -10 on the transmitter, -24 on the receiver. (PD170 settings) Set Mic 2 input to Mic, manual gain (half of bar or less), no 48v phantom.
The PD170 has two mic inputs, with the option of having Mic 1 going to both channels or only the first channel. Prior to the ceremony, I had the external shotgun mic going to both channels. When the ceremony started, I had the shotgun go to channel 1 and the wireless go to channel 2.
Great Equipment at a Good Price September 30, 2008

I did my research and Amazon.com has the best price on this piece of equipment. Combined with Amazon's excellent customer service and solid return policy, why go elsewhere? I'm very satisfied with my purchase.
Everything I hoped for and then some! September 16, 2008

I have a Canon XHA1 that I use to film events and weddings. This set-up makes all the difference in the world when filming from a distance. I love the back lit screens, the various channel offerings and the lock feature. I have not had any problems with the set-up so far and paired it with a Sennheiser e835 hand held microphone. The sound quality is top notch and the range is amazing it has no problems with walls or crowds of people interfering with the signal strength! I would recommend this product to everyone.
There are a few things that I would change I suppose. 1. The interface for searching and selecting channels and other menus is a little complicated and takes a bit of practice to do quickly. 2. I wish it came with a case. I know there is a case available from Sennheiser as an optional accessory, but other set-ups I looked at came with a case. I solved this with a $40 professional foam case from Micro Center.
If you are looking for a professional grade microphone set you will not regret this purchase. I spent more than I could afford, but I couldn't be happier.
