Re: Sennheiser EW112 G3 on Input 2

I have the Sennheiser EW112 G3 wireless lavalier system on Input 2.

I see the volume meter active when I speak but the recorded clip nor the audio monitoring has sound, what is going on?

My setting is:
- Mic
- Input 2
- Auto

Are you in S&Q mode?

Nevermind, it doesn't show meters in that mode...DUh!
 
There's a semi hidden mute button in the transmitter pack that people sometimes push when turning it on. (Sometimes called the Pee Break button.) Off the top of my head its one of the two buttons under the cover on the right hand side.

yep stereo.

Funny thing is when i plug in the kit microphone everything works fine. But not the sennheiser ew112! And when I plug a microphone directly into the receiver of the ew112 I hear sound, something is not right.

Should mic be 48V? No right?

Funny thing is when I plug my headphone DIRECTLY into the ew112 I do hear sound, but when I plug it into the XLR input on the NEX-FS100 I don't hear anything but the volume meter (on BOTH the NEX-FS100 and ew112) is active and responds to my voice.
 
The EW112 has batteries. It doesn't need phantom power, so no 48v. I'd still test the mute button.
 
Give those little mini plugs a good push into their hole, I'm surprised how I don't push them in far enough!
 
I also recommend taping over the mute button, it will get accidentally pushed on at the worst times!
 
The G2 will say MUTE on the receivedr whenever the mute switch on the transmitter is on, or if the transmitter is turned off (and in PILOT mode, not sure if the PILOT mode has anything to do with the MUTE note popping up)
 
OK I feel like such a dumby. Just loaded the file onto my computer and the EW112 WORKS!!

What happened was that I was comparing it to the kit mic. The kit mic being 3 feet away has more echo in the feedback to my headphones so it was EASIER to verify that it was working.

HOWEVER, the EW112, having the lavalier right up against my mouth produced an almost INSTANT feedback to my headphones therefore I could not verify my own voice.

Should have used a second person 10 feet away in order to more accurately test the EW112.

So problem solved!
