Sennheiser EW 112P G3-A omni-directional EW system

I’ve been using the Sennheiser EW 112P G3-A wireless system since 2013, and it’s still one of the most reliable pieces of gear I own. I’ve used it for hundreds of talking-head interviews, church events, and on-location shoots, and it consistently delivers clear, professional-quality audio every single time. The omnidirectional lav mic picks up voices naturally and cleanly, while the wireless connection is rock-solid, even in environments with a lot of interference. Battery life is excellent, and the build quality of both the transmitter and receiver is top-notch — they’ve survived travel, outdoor shoots, and long production days without any issues. Even after more than a decade, this system performs like it did on day one. It’s proof that Sennheiser gear is built to last. For anyone serious about video production or interviews, the EW 112P G3 remains one of the most dependable and professional wireless mic systems you can own.

I've had this lav for a few weeks and tested it in the studio and outdoors. It had performed wonderfully. I even tested in on the cliffs near the Salk Institute near the glider port. The wind was blasting away and the talent simply turned his shoulders away from the wind and I was very impressed. I was using my Sony MDR V6 headphones plugged into the camera. The mic produced no wind noise but the wind was whipping my headphones so loudly that I had a hard time differentiating. When we got the footage out of the camera we were both impressed. There was no wind noise. The audio quality was superb especially considering the conditions. Similar results in the studio on quality without the hassle of wind of course ;) I tried a couple of cheaper microphones before purchasing this one and am very pleased. Sure it costs a bit more but it is worth it. I've heard that the ME2 lav has an issue with the cable breaking at the capsule causing people to replace the microphone after a year of arduous use. My solution was simple. As soon as I knew I was keeping this mic I cut a short piece of black electrical tape (just enough to wrap around the end of the capsule/cable just about two times), then I made three cuts in the tape where the cuts would be below the capsule, then when wrapping the cable end I could form the wrap so it did not bulge or be unsightly on camera. The three spaced cuts allowed me to wrap the tape evenly by overlapping it. I think this should be sufficient to prolong the life of the microphone under normal usage.

I use this as a lapel mike for my weekly seminars. It is fantastic. The picture shows what appears to be two body packs but one if a transmitter and one is a receiver. The reason the receiver is in a body pack housing is so it can be attached to something like a camera on a tripod (it comes with the fittings for this). A cable is included that plugs into the receiver on one end and into an XLR jack on a mixer with the other end. The cable is about 1 foot long which is perfect if you did use a camera and really convenient for me since I travel and want a small cable. The body pack transmitter comes with a long cable attached to a lapel mike that clips onto a tie or shirt. Sound quality is outstanding. There are a number of settings (such as pilot tone) but the default settings work perfectly for me out of the box. This is studio quality equipment and sound with a small foot print. To make the receiver small they made it battery operated so you need 2 AA batteries for the receiver and 2 AA batteries for the transmitter. I use them for 8-9 hours straight and the batteries still have 20-30% left at the end. The body pack transmitter has a slide mute switch so I can mute the mike without taking it off or turning it off. The belt clip can mount two ways (with the antenna pointing up or down). I prefer to point the antenna down so I have the belt clip set that way. The only buttons on each unit are under the flip up batter door. One is for power/esc and one is for menu/select. The display has black writing on an orange back lit background so it is easy to read. I highly recommend this unit.

Works fine-- though my client preferred the sound from my $30 shotgun mic. Still glad I purchased this, though. Shotguns don't work in all situations! I often shoot on my own, so not having to worry about audio too much helps. I get this set up, then with my shotgun as backup, I always get great audio (and two options!).

Works well for the most part but later on...potential frequency difficulties may occur

The only problem I have had with this device is that the first one that shipped was defective. After trouble shooting everything, I found that the chords it came with were not working. That being said, This product is amazing. Shooting wedding, Corporate video, or live events, this lav mic is reliable in all situations. I do use a zoom h6 to record the audio from the mic. Below is brief pros and cons I have found. Pros -easy to set up -battery power lasts long for events - sound quality is great - this product is best for people starting to record professional audio and not wanting to go into debt. Cons -userface on transmitter is semi complicated to use out of the box, so expect to be playing with it if your new to audio and lavs - I really have not found that many cons after two shoots with this.

FIRST OFF i love the mics the quality is great the only thing that i did not like, is that the package did NOT include the 4 AA batteries it said it did, and that the phone jack connector for 6mm audio jack input on the camera.. other than that delivery was great, the packaging wasnt damaged, and the mics are working perfectly..

Muy buen equipo. solo ojo, para poderlo conectar a diversos dispositivos digitales se necesita o un cable especial o una tarjeta de video... no lo dice el manual. Y el manual de operación no es muy claro, pero el equipo es de primera.

Excellent quality recording, all metal parts. Comes with carrying cases or mic foam cover though.

I run a full-time internet business and I shoot a lot of video for my subscribers and for marketing purposes. I started out with a Sony WCS-999 wireless lav mic and it was okay for starting out. However, it does not record in stereo (mono only) and the program that I use for video edits cannot create a stereo rendering. I tried a Rode shotgun mic, which is a great mic (and records in stereo), but I have a lot of echo in my basement studio so I needed a stereo lav mic. Price-wise, this is a big step up from the Sony wireless mic, but if you (obviously) need a good mic for business, this is the one for you. The Sony was almost $200 and the Rode was $240, so there is an argument for jumping over that and going straight to this mic - if you can afford it. The Sony mic also gave some really annoying static from clothes rubbing on the mic line, which the Sennheiser does not do. These units are quite heavy and well-built. The cords are very durable and this is clearly a professional-grade piece of equipment. Some argue that audio is more important than video quality and if you are starting out in the business, it can make sense to go straight to this mic. It comes with a cold shoe attachment for your DSLR camera as well. The only issue I have had so far is figuring out mic placement. I did the standard thumb-forefinger thing and I still got a lot of echo. I switched to the collar and if you do that, really back off the dB's - which you can do (great for loud people). Oh - and the unit comes with your choice of cardioid or omni-directional mics. Research which one you want and which unit has which mic. This one actually came with a cardioid mic.

Very solid unit. Happy I bought it.

La boîte était déjà ouverte et le sachet du micro à l'intérieur déchiré. et je n'ai pas reçu le bon produit.
