I am mostly ignorant of wireless lavalier mic kits with the exception of the Sennheiser Evolution G2 100 Series, which I have rented several times with good results.
I am now looking to buy a wireless system to use with my DVX100B and have an opportunity to get a mint-condition Azden 200 series kit for $400 (market value of $750ish?), which seems to be bargain for the same amount I would be spending on a Sennheiser set anyway. Am I getting more with the dual-channel Azden, or not?
I will mostly be using this mic(s) for relatively close-range interviews, but in urban settings with relatively large amounts of potential interference. I will have a skeleton/one-man crew and the camera operator will also be mixing live sound into the camera, which I know isn't ideal, nor is using wireless in the first place, but that is the reality of our situation...
Any suggestions and/or advice on Sennheiser vs. Azden? Anything I should be thinking about that I'm not?
Help sooner than later would be much appreciated, as I must make a decision by tonight before leaving town...
Thanks in advance!
