Sennheiser AVX-me2 Vs Sennheiser EW 112-P G3 ?

[Noiz2]

For video, anything less than a frame isn't noticed.

By a picture editor maybe, 1/4 frame is pretty noticeable to most people. The original DVX100 was 1 1/4 frames off out the firewire port and it was VERY noticeable.

The good news is if the delay is constant it's easy to fix in post. Picture editors never seemed very bothered by the DVX sync, some didn't notice. But they all noticed the improvement when it was put back into sync.

The latency isn't a problem in live audio, or recordings because it's like moving the PA 20 feet further away - insignificant. It is a noticeable delay if the performers are on in-ears, and in a studio where people may be hearing the delay in headphones. I've been using digital mics for theatre use for a few years now, and the latency even allows volumes to be a little higher without feedback, but when they do feedback, it can be sudden and loud. For video, anything less than a frame isn't noticed. I'm actually a happy Line 6 user - with a mixture of instrument and handheld units. So far, the digital Sennheiser hasn't impressed me enough to buy some - and I've bought more analogue G3.

I agree with all of this. For multiple mics and externally mixed production, the VHF/UHF mics are generally a better choice. For solo shooters, the AVX is a handy reasonable choice that requires minimal attention in use.
My D16 records time code locked BWF format double system audio. The audio file is separate from the video file. I have no latency or sync issues since one has to manually sync audio at the head of each shot in post anyway.

Hey Rick, which external scanner do you use ?

- 'RF Explorer, Handheld RF Spectrum Analyzer' Currently around $130 USD.
In lieu of a scanner, the Sennheiser on-line 'frequency finder' can ID troublesome TV channels. If there are none completely vacant within your frequency block, a low modulation of -70 or -80db should be trouble-free.
