Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. how many handheld mics can connect to this system at the same time ?

A: The receiver will only connect with one mic at a time.

Q: 2. I have 5 of these, do you sell a small rack they can all go in? Shelf and rack mount screws are included.

A: For a rackmount case that will hold five of the Sennheiser EW 100 G4-835-S Wireless Handheld Microphone Systems, you may like the SKB 4U Roto Shallow Rack Case with Steel Rails (B&H # SK1SKBR4S) or the SKB 3U Roto Shallow Rack Case with Steel Rails (B&H # SK1SKBR3S), the Gator Pro-Series Roto-Molded Military-Grade Rack Case - 13" Deep, 4 RU - B&H # GAGPRO4U13) or the Gator Pro-Series Roto-Molded Military-Grade Rack Case - 13" Deep, 3 RU (B&H # GAGPRO3U13), the SKB 4U Soft Rack Case (B&H # SK1SKBSC194U) or the SKB 3U Soft Rack Case (B&H # SK1SKBSC193U). The five wireless receivers will fit in a 3RU case, but if you want an extra space for storage, then the 4RU is the better option.

Q: 3. Is this pack of Panasonic eneloop pro AA Rechargeable NiMH Batteries (1.2V, 2550mAh, 16-Pack) is compatible with the mics?

A: The Sennheiser SKM 500 G4 Wireless Handheld Transmitter is compatible with Panasonic Eneloop Pro AA Rechargeable batteries.

Q: 4. What kind of distance will this work with, roughly?

A: There is no specification for the operating distance. Variables like ambient noise,sound level of the subject, indoors or outdoors, size and composition of the inside space and flooring, wall and ceiling are all factors to consider. In general - get your mics as close to the source as possible.

Q: 5. does the SSH-6 require phantom power?

A: No idea, but as long as you connect it to a Zoom audio module like the F1 (the one I have), etc... it will be powered. This is for sure not a stand alone mic. It is designed to be used on capsule compatible zoom recorders. Not your question but let me tell you this thing is amazing ! Cheers.

Q: 6. if I place this device 18 away from my mouth, what is the gain level to reach -12db, and at what gain level before I can hear self-noise?

A: I don't know but this mic is the best mic I have used on this recorder!!

Q: 7. Can we mix the directional shotgun mono with the stereo ambience in post? Or is the mix embedded into the audio track as set on the device?

A: The mix will be a mid-side stereo track. You would need mid-side decoder plug-in software to separate the mono mic and the bi-directional mic stereo track in post production.

Q: 8. I'm wondering: is the SSH-6 as good as the SGH-6 in terms of directional 'power'? Or do i need to move it closer to the subject than with the SGH-6?

A: I conducted several tests using both the SGH-6 and the SSH-6. The SSH-6 is 1 inch longer than the SGH-6. The end of the microphone was moved back by 1 inch for each SSH-6 test. So, the distance from the end of the microphone to my mouth was always the same for both. I conducted the tests at 6 inches, 1 foot, 2 feet, and 3 feet. In each case to achieve a level above 12 dB but below 6 dB I adjusted the gain on the microphone. In all cases the two microphones required the same gain. The side stereo level on the SSH-6 was set to 0 dBfor all test. So, I would say to your question, Yes, the power and beam for the shotgun portion of the two microphones are the same.

Q: 9. Does this system have phantom power protection? For example, if you accidentally turn on phantom power on the mixer to use a condenser mic, will it damage the system?

A: The receiver in the Sennheiser EW 100 G4-945-S Wireless Handheld Microphone System with MMD 945 Capsule does not make any specific indication regarding phantom power precautions. Clearly you do not want to have phantom power engaged on the input it is connected to, but it will likely not damage the receiver either.

Q: 10. The exact diameter and length of the mic isn't listed. I'm trying to find a foam screen for this mic. I'm aware the mic comes with a windscreen. Can anyone help me out?

A: The Zoom SSH-6 has a 1 diameter. It is also about 6 long. The Auray WSF-2216 (B&H # AUWSF2216) is currently the best available option. It is a bit longer than 6 , which means you will probably have to cut it slightly to fit the microphone.
