Hey All-
I got a gig, and I need to buy some mics, so I come to you for suggestions. I have a Sennheiser ME66 shotgun Im happy with. However, I need 2 wireless mics and a wired mic for voiceovers. For wireless, Im looking at Sennheiser EW100s. The are within my budget of 500 each, and said to be reliable. However, I am undecided about a hardwire voiceover mic. I have 300-400 to spend. Any suggestions?

Thanks
Brian
 
Sorry, Shawneous-
The gig is news/documentary style. I will be shooting/editing consumer packages for a news bureau. I will be using wireless for interviews and hardwire voiceovers for voiceover tracks.
 
Okay, for those purposes, yes, the Sennheiser G2 EW100s will be just fine. For a voice over, i'd probably get the Oktava setup that is oft recommended on this board.
 
the rode nt1a, nt1000 or nt2a are also options (plus proper room treatment, boom stand, preamp, interface and pop screen).

The stock lav that comes with the g2 system is not great. Think about replacing it with the countryman emw wired for g2. The g2 is the only game in town for entry level wireless, but it has that one drawback.
