The WB98H/C miniature condenser microphone clamps onto the bell of wind instruments or onto the rim of percussion instruments. It features a cardioid polar pattern that helps reject unwanted noise in loud environments. The integrated gooseneck and ratcheting swivel joint allow the microphone to be easily positioned and secured, and an isolation shockmount reduces the transmission of instrument key noise and other mechanical sounds.

The durable BLX1 bodypack transmitter offers a lightweight, ergonomic design that is comfortable for the performer to wear. Group and channel selection buttons allow for quick and simple frequency matching with the receiver. Other features include an easily accessible on/off switch, adjustable gain control, and a TA4M 4-pin input jack.

The BLX4R receiver employs a microprocessor-controlled antenna diversity system to improve the quality and reliability of your wireless audio. The receiver can be rackmounted with the included hardware, allowing you to position the two removable antennas on the front of the rack for optimal signal reception.

The LCD display shows group and channel settings, and allows you to meter audio level and signal strength. An LED indicator even lets you keep an eye on the transmitter's remaining battery life. The unit offers 1/4" and XLR connectors with adjustable output level for flexible connectivity to PA systems and mixing boards.

Q: 1. can i use this directly from a mixer with 3.5mm jack output and send it to receiver then to dslr? i dont want to use lav mics but use this system in my mixer as wireless transmitting audio.

A: Yes you can. NOTE: The input on the transmitter is Mic Level so make sure that the output on your mixer is set to line level otherwise your audio may clip or sound distorted.

Q: 2. Can the rechargeable battery be replaced by the user?

A: No it cannot. Now if your reason for wanting to do so is to make sure you always have enough battery for a long gig, you can use the charging port to power the system while in use, either through a power supply or through a power-bank which is commonly used for Cell phones and etc.

Q: 3. Are there any compatible antennas for this to extend the range?

A: No. The Sennheiser EW 500 BOOM G4 Camera-Mount Wireless Plug-On Microphone System includes the bodypack-style EK 500 G4 Pro Wireless Camera-Mount Receiver, which has an integrated/molded antenna, the receiver cannot be used with an external antenna. If you swap the EK 500 receiver and use the Sennheiser EM 300-500 G4 Wireless Receiver (such as B&H # SEEM3005MGAP for AW+: 470 to 558 MHz frequency band), you will be able to use remote mount antennas or half-wave antennas for extended range. However, the EM 300-500 requires AC power and is not camera-mountable, so that could be a drawback if you need to have a portable, battery-powered system.

Q: 4. Does this work with rode reporter mic ? I tried hooking it up and it’s super low. The ride is a dynamic and doesn’t need phantom. But connecting to zoom h5 , signal is low

A: This will work with the Rode or any other dynamic microphone. If playing with the levels on the recorder does not help, you may try to call or chat with a B&H professional who can try to guide you and trouble shoot it for you.

Q: 5. Does this transmit/receive a stereo signal?

A: Hi Yong - the XS Wireless Digital system transmits a single channel of mono audio. The included 3.5mm connector has a "stereo" tip so that you will get the same mono signal on both your left and right inputs on your camera via your 3.5mm stereo input.

Q: 6. How do I choose between the AW+ and GW1 models?

A: If you are using this in USA, and you are only using a few wireless systems on set, either of the frequency ranges which we carry of the Sennheiser EW 500 G4 wireless microphone systems will work reliably for you. If you are using many systems on one location, you will get best results by dividing between the available ranges. If you need something that can work internationally, please contact us so we can help you find the best option.
